Golly… updating articles is hard work…

Wednesday, January 18, 2006 - 12:23 by Wayne Beaton

Today I’ve been working through some of the outstanding bugs raised against existing articles in Eclipse Corner. It’s a lot of work, but most of the changes are relatively small things that are relatively easy to fix. It’d be nice if the authors could fix the problems themselves, but I understand what it takes to find time for such things. I have nothing but respect for Eclipse Corner authors and can relate to the challenge of finding time to make these updates.

Authoring in Eclipse

Tuesday, January 17, 2006 - 10:07 by Wayne Beaton

Apologies to Chris. I had John Arthorne’s name in my head as I was typing this and erroneously gave John credit where it was due Chris. Somebody please call me an idiot.

Chris Aniszczyk and Lawrence Mandel are taking a stab at revolutionizing the way that Eclipse articles are authored. And they’re taking a novel approach: why not use Eclipse to author articles about Eclipse?

Graphical Modeling Framework Article

Tuesday, January 17, 2006 - 10:00 by Wayne Beaton

Authors have been very busy this month. Yesterday, Frederic Plante’s article, “Introducing the GMF Runtime” was added to the Eclipse Corner Articles site. Oddly enough, in this article Frederic introduces the GMF runtime.

Eclipse Forms Article

Monday, January 16, 2006 - 10:58 by Wayne Beaton

Earlier today, I posted an article on Eclipse Forms by Dejan Glozic onto the Eclipse Corner Articles site. It’s pretty powerful stuff; using the Forms API, you can build user interface components that look and feel “browser-like”. As the article suggests, forms are probably best suited for views and editors (not dialogue boxes), but you can use them anywhere it makes sense for you.

I am helping to organize an EclipseCon panel called ‘Enterprise Ready: Deploying Eclipse in a large enterprise‘. This panel is part of the business track and the focus is on the management and technical aspects of deploying Eclipse into a large enterprise.

Question Conventional Wisdom

As already referenced by Bjorn and Ward, this article by John Mark Walters makes for some very interesting reading. I highly recommend it, and I am already looking forward to reading the next one in his series.

JBoss Poll on IDEs

Wednesday, January 11, 2006 - 16:17 by Ian Skerrett

In the most recent JBoss newsletter they published the result of a poll they did of their user based, asking what is your favourite IDE. Eclipse comes in at 58% and if you combine MyEclipse it pushes the total to 67%. This reaffirms the trend I have noticed in surveys of java developers, Eclipse is usually used by about 55-65%.

Here are the results of last month’s poll that asked: What is your favorite IDE?

Congratulations to the Eclipse community for winning the ‘Development Tool of the Year’ award from Developer.com.

Eclipse Awards

Monday, January 9, 2006 - 15:21 by Wayne Beaton

I reviewed the nominations for the Eclipse Awards today and there seems to be only moderate activity. In fact, I only see eight nominations for top contributor. There’s a lot more contributors out there than that.
