    Hello, Ed

    Monday, March 5, 2007 - 18:15 by Wayne Beaton
    Today, while walking through the halls of EclipseCon, I ran into Ed Klimas. I’ve known Ed for years. His former company, Linea Engineering, and my former company, The Object People, did a lot of work together in the 90s, but it’s been years since we’ve seen each other. Ed’s yet...

    Ten Reasons to Use Eclipse

    Sunday, March 4, 2007 - 13:41 by Wayne Beaton
    I came across this blog posting a few days ago. The date on the posting is recent, but the content makes me believe that it’s a repost of something considerably older. If you look carefully at the text and images, it’s pretty clear that the author is talking about Eclipse...

    Debug JavaScript? Using Eclipse?

    Friday, March 2, 2007 - 02:00 by Wayne Beaton
    I mentioned earlier that I have been working with the Eclipse Ajax Toolkit Framework ( ATF). Before today, my experience with JavaScript has been limited, and generally involved a lot of screaming in frustration. This afternoon, I spent some time with the ATF JavaScript debugger. The best part is that...

    Ajax Toolkit Framework

    Thursday, March 1, 2007 - 12:00 by Wayne Beaton
    Last week I started playing with the Eclipse Ajax Toolkit Framework ( ATF). Until last week, I had really never looked very hard at Ajax. I’m familiar with the base technologies, and the concepts behind it, but I had never really done anything with it. I figured that tinkering with...

    Yoxos Plug-in Partner Programme

    Tuesday, February 27, 2007 - 11:27 by Wayne Beaton
    I’ve written about Yoxos before. Yoxos, brought to us by the good people at Innoopract, is one of a handful of Eclipse distributions. They have a pretty cool Ajax-infected website that lets you specify the Eclipse components that you need (which they refer to as a scenario) and then builds...

    There’s still time for BoFs

    Tuesday, February 27, 2007 - 11:15 by Wayne Beaton
    I’m officially declaring my attempts at keeping Wednesday night EclipseCon 2007 BoF slots open as an abysmal failure; it seems that an awful lot of folks wanted their BoF sessions on the last night. I had originally intended to keep Wednesday night as open as possible so that we could...

    Five Reasons to Love Mylar

    Monday, February 26, 2007 - 14:37 by Wayne Beaton
    For my money, there just hasn’t been enough talk about Mylar lately. And I think I understand why. At least for me, Mylar has become such an integrated part of my workday, that I don’t really think all that much about it. It’s the same for the Java Development Tools...

    Translating Eclipse Corner Articles

    Monday, February 26, 2007 - 14:22 by Wayne Beaton
    I recently added Korean to the list of languages we have Eclipse Resources available in. In addition to Korean, we have resources in English (of course), French, German, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese. I’m pretty excited by the prospect of having some Eclipse Corner Articles available in Korean as well. We...
