     According to Emma McGrattan, Ingres senior vice president of
 engineering, "Ingres has a large application development community using a
 variety of application development languages across a host of operating
 system platforms. Eclipse encompasses the diverse needs of Ingres
 developers by providing an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), a rich

 sophisticated enterprise applications." McGrattan continued, "The Eclipse
 project has a large community of very talented application developers
 enhancing the IDE, and with the plug-in architecture and ease of
 extensibility, developers are only limited by their imagination. We are
