In what appears to be a coup for the IBM-born Eclipse open source Java development framework, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization (Ansto) has started using it to build a Linux-based desktop application for controlling laboratory instrumentation. Having been through the design phase, development of the application - called Gumtree - has started and is due to be completed by 2007. Once complete the application will allow neutron beam instrumentation experiments to be performed locally or remotely. The Gumtree application is being developed as part of the $330 million replacement research reactor and the neutron beam instruments is the scientific arm of the project.
