Just a week back, the open source foundation was seeking help for new dedicated hardware, in order to re-establish performance testing for the Eclipse platform. Mike Milinkovich, foundation’s executive director wrote in his blog post: "The performance tests were turned off because the Eclipse platform team has a serious resource issue. The simple fact of the matter is that the Eclipse platform team is stretched well beyond what it can reasonably be expected to accomplish. This is not a new problem."
He further added, "There have already been a couple of very positive developments that have come out of this conversation. Google has stepped up and donated $20,000 towards the creation of a brand-new testing infrastructure."
According to a ZDNET report, the money will be used to seed a performance regression testing programme. This used to be performed on releases, but was dropped for Eclipse 3.8 and 4.2 due to a lack of hardware and human resources.
Milinkovich further stated: "There are thousands of companies and millions of developers that make use of Eclipse every day. We need more of these companies to come forward to start participating in the core Eclipse platform. Google's contribution is a perfect example."
