LinuxWorld Boston 2006

Monday, February 27, 2006 - 09:50 by Wayne Beaton

I sent in my talk for LinuxWorld Boston 2006 on Friday. Friday was the deadline and I do try to take deadlines seriously. As you can see from the fancy graphic on the left, the conference is in the beginning of April; I hate having to submit a talk so far in advance since I tend to tweak my presentations right up to the minute before I present.

Image View plugin

Thursday, February 23, 2006 - 14:20 by Wayne Beaton

I do all of my editing of the pages on eclipse.org (including editing articles for Eclipse Corner) using Eclipse Web Tools. I personally don’t mind looking at HTML, and the HTML editor provided with Web Tools is top-notch (a lot of the content on eclipse.org is represented in XML, which Web Tools handles quite well also). So, I basically have everything I need. Sure, I might like to have a fancier WYSIWYG editor, but I’m not one to complain.

The Eclipse Tabbed Properties View

Monday, February 20, 2006 - 15:02 by Wayne Beaton

Last night, I posted Anthony Hunter’s new “The Eclipse Tabbed Properties View” article on Eclipse Corner. In this article, Anthony describes the API for building (oddly enough) tabbed properties views. The article gives several examples of uses of tabbed properties, including the following (from the Eclipse GMF 1.0M4):

How could I have forgotten about Stuttgart?

Thursday, February 16, 2006 - 09:18 by Wayne Beaton

I blogged yesterday about BostonEDGE. But EDGE is not the first Eclipse group that I’ve heard of; there are others, including an Eclipse SIG that’s part of the Stuttgart Java User Group.

EUG?

Wednesday, February 15, 2006 - 21:51 by Wayne Beaton

It just occurred to me that one of the biggest inhibitors for folks getting together to talk about Eclipse has got to be the acronym. Who wants to go to an EUG (Eclipse Users Group)? It sounds a little like one of the grunts Tim Allen does in his stand up routine. Come to think of it, Tim Allen has made a pretty healthy career out of making grunting noises, so maybe EUG isn’t all that bad after all…

Eclipse in Motion: San Diego and Dallas Debrief

Tuesday, February 14, 2006 - 22:00 by Wayne Beaton

We wrapped up the first leg of our Eclipse in Motion roadshow last week with stops in San Diego (Tuesday) and Dallas (Thursday). I had a great time and I’m pretty sure everybody who attended did. One thing that I’ve noticed about Eclipse events that are different from most other events in my history: folks tend to stick around for the entire event. In both cities, in all sessions, hardly anybody left early. Those who did leave early felt compelled to give us excuses. They were good excuses.

Eclipse in Motion: San Diego

Sunday, February 5, 2006 - 21:37 by Wayne Beaton

I had lunch the other day with Doug Pollock and John Arthorne; Doug and John are joining me in coaching the upcoming code camps that we’re running during the Eclipse in Motion tour and we met to discuss how we’re going to run the camps (both John and Doug work a short distance away from the mammoth Eclipse Foundation Corporate Headquarters Building in sunny Ottawa).

Curious about Eclipse Rich Client Platform?

Friday, February 3, 2006 - 20:31 by Wayne Beaton

The Eclipse Wiki is a pretty cool source of information. If you’re curious about the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP), there’s a section in the Wiki that discusses it and organizes a collection of links, references, books, etc… everything you need to know about RCP. It’s your basic one-stop-shopping source of information on RCP.

Eclipse Installed

Thursday, February 2, 2006 - 22:47 by Wayne Beaton

How neat-o keen, golly-gee whiz is this?

Be sure to get your “Eclipse installed” sticker from your favourite Eclipse Foundation staffer. Coming soon to a conference or seminar near you.
