Thursday, June 9, 2016 - 11:07 by Wayne Beaton

Over the years, many people have contributed to Eclipse projects, including some thirty-nine software developers (39) named Dave or David. This list includes everybody who has ever made a least one contribution to one of the many projects that have opted to participate in the Neon Simultaneous Release since the beginning of time as recorded in our Git commit logs.

Great Fixes from Till Brychcy

Friday, May 13, 2016 - 14:28 by Wayne Beaton

Our third winner in the Great Fixes for Neon skills competition is Till Brychcy.

Till has used the Eclipse Java development tools (JDT) since 2003, and made his first contribution in 2013. In the time between the 2015 Mars release and today, Till has had 41 separate commits accepted by the JDT project team—most of which provide improvements in the null analysis support—adding almost 20K net new lines of code.

Visualizing Java 9 Module Relationships

Tuesday, December 1, 2015 - 17:39 by Wayne Beaton

As I stated in an earlier post, I’ve been running Eclipse Neon on the Java 9 + Jigsaw builds for a little while and haven’t had any issues.

What’s in a Namespace?

Monday, September 16, 2013 - 17:09 by Wayne Beaton

Bug 331397 suggests that we should add a little something about project namespaces into the Eclipse Development Process (EDP). In my mind, there are at least a couple of problems with this: I’d really like to avoid adding anything to the EDP; and we stopped being a Java/OSGi exclusive club a long time ago.

The Great Git Experiment

Monday, April 1, 2013 - 00:08 by Wayne Beaton

While many projects have claimed success with Git, a great many projects and developers continue to struggle with its adoption. In the fall of 2012, several projects chose to terminate rather than migrate their CVS repositories to Git. We have infrequent reports of commits being erased and general confusion regarding the workflow. While EGit does a good job of smoothing out the rough corners, it’s still the case that just writing code to a Git repository takes too many steps.

Celebration Time Starts at 4pm today…

Thursday, June 23, 2011 - 11:02 by Wayne Beaton

I made a mistake in my post yesterday. All Eclipse folks in the Greater Ottawa region are invited to join us at the Eclipse Foundation offices at 4pm today to celebrate the Indigo release. That’s an hour later than I suggested yesterday.

Sorry about the confusion.
