exadel.org Exadels open source community and projects

I’m happy to announce that our open source community and projects web site exadel.org is now live. It also hosts its first project: JavaFX plug-in for Eclipse. Why did we create this web site? Exadel always had a number of projects available on its site for download, most of them are free. One of the biggest challenges for users was to get involved. Even though most products were open source, it wasn’t easy to get the source code. The actual download was hosted on exadel.com, support forum for each project was hosted on Google Groups, and there was no way to enter any bugs. There was a big disconnect. exadel.org will try to solve all this, it will provide everything you would expect from man open source site and community. Everything is integrated now, you get product download, source code, forum and Jira to enter bugs.
