So will Sun now be a member of Eclipse Foundation?
Since MySQL AB is a member of the Eclipse Foundation, when Sun's acquisition of MySQL is completed later this spring, does Sun automatically become a member of the Foundation? I hope some sharp analyst asked this question during the conference call yesterday. I'm going to listen myself to the replay to check it out. UPDATE: I just listened, and it did not come up. I predict the question of MySQL's continued involvement with Eclipse will become the interesting fault line to watch as this merger of the MySQL and Sun communities goes forward.

I met with Don Smith from the Eclipse Foundation earlier this week and we fully intend to renew our Eclipse membership. MySQL supports all of the leading tools, languages and platforms and will continue to do so. We have great support for Windows Visual Studio, and we will continue to work with Eclipse. And heck, we'll now start doing more work with NetBeans too.
