Mats, that was my exactly first impression until I read the FAQ

http://www.openhealthtools.org/faq.htm

*Q: What is your relationship with
Eclipse<http://www.openhealthtools.org/Members/Eclipse.html>
?*

A: Open Health Tools has based its governance, legal and intellectual
property policies, development processes, marketing, and business models on
Eclipse.  Many of those working to create Open Health Tools were intimately
involved with creating Eclipse.  And we will be using the Eclipse Open
Health Framework (OHF) <http://www.eclipse.org/ohf/> and other Eclipse
software as a base for Open Health Tools' technology.  While Eclipse is a
member of Open Health Tools, the two organizations are not affiliated in a
corporate sense.
That implies it use Eclipse only and so excludes other technologies (like
web) - though they do also mention interoperability - like a SIF say. I'm
confused.
