“The project, called Open Ajax, aims to create a single framework that standardizes development and debugging on a common library of Ajax widgets that could run on multiple Ajax runtimes.”

The goal of OAJAX (Open Ajax), is to create a framework that standardizes development and debugging of a common library of widgets, that can run with multiple Ajax runtimes. Really it means having a standard set of widgets for use in the Eclipse development environment. It is neat to see the convergence anyway.

Besides IBM, there are several players already pledging their endorsement: BEA, Borland, the Dojo Foundation, Eclipse Foundation, Laszlo Systems, Mozilla, Novell, Oracle, Openwave, Red Hat, Yahoo, Zend, Zimbra and Google.
