eburnette writes: Google continued its acquisition spree today by snapping up Instantiations, makers of WindowBuilder Pro, RCP Designer, and GWT Designer. The purchase was announced in an email from Eric Clayberg, VP of Product Development. He writes:
"I have exciting news to share about important developments here at Instantiations Instantiations’ award-winning Java and Ajax development tools and our incredible Eclipse team have been acquired by Google! We’re all very excited about taking our technology and team to the next level — and there is no bigger step up than Google!"
According to Eric, Instantiations was acquired by the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) team at Google, so their focus will primarily be in that space. The Smalltalk part of the business will be spun off into a new company that takes the old name, Instantiations.
