LONDON--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Actuate Corporation (NASDAQ:ACTU), the leader in delivering Rich Internet Applications Without Limits™, today announced its continued support of and participation in the Eclipse Banking Day series. This latest event, and third in the series, is being held in London on February 12th at the Hatton Conference Center.

This Eclipse Banking Day series is for architects, development managers and senior developers who work for a financial institution and use Eclipse. The London event is an opportunity to learn from Eclipse experts and discover what leading financial institutions are doing with Eclipse.

Opening the London event is the executive director of the Eclipse Foundation, Mike Milinkowich, whose talk ‘The Next Generation of Eclipse' will outline the challenges and opportunities in 2009 and beyond as well as present some thoughts on how shifts in the application landscape can be used to extend the reach of Eclipse. Other presenting organisations include Spain's leading savings bank La Caixa, J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley where Eclipse is used by more than 1,000 developers.

Actuate's Mica Block will be presenting a session on building data driven reports for Eclipse-based applications. Block will discuss how data reporting is a key component of many financial services applications and that BIRT, the leading open source information application development environment and a top level Eclipse project founded and co-led by Actuate, and the Eclipse Data Tools Platform (DTP), make it easy to create data driven reports from different data sources.
