One of the more exciting things I get to do when I visit Germany is attend one of Ralph’s many Stammtisches (or is that Stammtischae?) For the uninitiated, Stammtisch translates roughly into “regular’s table”. Ralph’s incarnation of the tradition brings members of the Eclipse community together to socialize and network...

En développant vos plug-ins, vous avez peut-être un jour été confronté à une erreur, à première vue obscure, due à une directive singleton soit disant manquante… En effet, le PDE lève une erreur lorsqu’un plug-in qui n’est pas “ singleton” souhaite définir des extensions ou des points d’extension.

As we all know Ganymede is out. Congrats to everyone involved. I’ve been following the Ganymede buzz on twitter via summize; lots of positive chatter. It looks like @lylo can claim credit for the first tweet about getting Ganymede but I am impressed that @llun did a blog post about...

Ganymede is just around the corner, and I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to the many Eclipse committers, project leaders and contributors who have all participated in its success. You have done our community proud. I was tempted to list some of those who have made...

I’m working on a presentation about Ganymede. I’ve already got some slides from the talk Mike and I did at JavaOne 2008, and am in the process of adding material from Chris’ article on developerWorks. I’ve scavenged a lot of material from the Eclipsepedia wiki on the topic and have...
