JetBrains Lockin: We Told You So

Friday, September 4, 2015 - 11:02 by Mike Milinkovich

The news this morning that JetBrains is switching to a subscription-only model is a perfect example of why and how trusting a proprietary tools vendor leaves you and your business exposed to the whims of their profit margins. Make no mistake: this is motivated by what’s good for their business, not what is good for the developer community. Even if JetBrains backpedals on this decision, it is a lesson worth learning.

The Eclipse Foundation’s 10th Birthday

Monday, February 3, 2014 - 16:51 by Mike Milinkovich

Today the Eclipse Foundation celebrates its 10th birthday. Boy, time flies when you’re having fun!

It is very hard to put your mind back to an event in the past. I don’t mean simply remembering the event; that’s easy. What is hard is to recall what the environment was really like at the time, without the context of all of the subsequent history.

Embracing Social Coding at Eclipse

Thursday, June 20, 2013 - 10:30 by Mike Milinkovich

The Eclipse Foundation is going to start allowing its projects to host their mainline development on third party forges such as GitHub, and (eventually) Bitbucket. This means that an Eclipse project will be able to leverage the great development tools provided by those vendors. The first project that we are going to work with on this is Vert.x, which has been hosted on GitHub since its inception. Our intent is to start small, and continually improve this program and our support of it.
