Eclipse kills open-source SOA projects

The Register has an article about some SOA projects being killed in Eclipse.

This is exactly why IMO the Eclipse Foundation model of open source is broken. Basically, you can buy yourself a board seat in the Eclipse Foundation by putting up cash - on the order of $250k/year I believe .. so not for us little guys for sure. But then, does money guarantee that a project will attract developers and users?? Of course not!

I'm of course biased, but I think the Apache Software Foundation principle of "community over code" is critical to making successful open source projects.
