The Eclipse Foundation on Monday is announcing three milestone releases as part of its Eclipse Device Software Development Platform (DSDP), which is intended to provide a standards-based development platform for building software for devices.

DSDP project milestones being revealed include:

* Embedded Rich Client Platform, release version 1.0, for extending the Eclipse Rich Client Platform to embedded devices. The release enables the same Eclipse development model used to create applications on desktop machines to be used on devices.

* Target Management release version 1.0, for building data models and frameworks to configure and manage embedded systems and their connections and services.

* Mobile Tools for the Java Platform release version 0.7, for extending the Eclipse platform to support mobile device applications based on Java.

DSDP releases are available for download here.
