Is it just me?

Sunday, December 11, 2005 - 04:40 by Wayne Beaton

Everytime somebody says something about the Eclipse 3.2 release train, I hear Natalie Merchant‘s voice in the back of my head singing Peace Train. Is it just me?

Deploying an RCP application on multiple platforms

Saturday, December 10, 2005 - 09:00 by Wayne Beaton

I’ve been answering a bunch of questions from the webinar Jeff and I delivered a few days back.

One listener asked:

Do I need to develop three different applications if I want a Windoze, Linux and Mac version?

Building GUIs in Eclipse

Friday, December 9, 2005 - 11:05 by Wayne Beaton

Jeff and I got a lot of questions during the webinar we did last week, but we were only able to answer a few of them in the time we had available. The good people at BZ Media were nice enough to send me a file with all the questions. I’ve been spending a good chunk of my time trying to provide answers for all of them. And… I thought I’d share some of them.

One listener asked

Does Eclipse have a GUI builder that:

What is a Rich Client?

Thursday, December 8, 2005 - 09:36 by Wayne Beaton

There is a lot of talk about the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP). Jeff McAffer and I delivered a webinar on the topic a few days ago and I’m getting ready to deliver a similar talk at Javapolis in Belgium next week. One of the things that I like to include in a talk is a definition of “Rich Client”.

The Order of the Phoenix

Thursday, December 1, 2005 - 09:03 by Wayne Beaton

Our website reborn
Phoenix becomes the main site
Hope you like purple

I’m guessing that nobody was impressed with my Eclipse Haiku yesterday. That’s okay, it was my first attempt at an Eclipse-based Haiku (I wrote a few great ones about Alanis Morrisette last year, but I digress). It just gets better from here. No… really…

Eclipse RCP in Haiku

Wednesday, November 30, 2005 - 10:22 by Wayne Beaton

Here is my first attempt at writing a Haiku about Eclipse:

Eclipse RCP
Not just a window system
Components are king!

I believe that discussing Eclipse is a reasonably good stand-in for the requirement that traditional Haiku have something to do with nature (the Wikipedia says that it’s supposed to be a season word).

Transparency in the development process

Tuesday, November 29, 2005 - 09:48 by Wayne Beaton

I’ve spoken about this in the past, but it’s a pretty important topic, so I thought I’d bring it up again (and will likely do so again)…

One of the best ways to keep up to date with what’s happening at Eclipse is to listen in on bugzilla. Bugzilla is where bugs are reported, and where conversations concerning those bugs are recorded. You want to understand why a certain design decision is made? The answer is likely somewhere in Bugzilla.

Evangelise this!

Wednesday, November 23, 2005 - 09:03 by Wayne Beaton

I think we can probably all agree that 18 pictures of me putting on the shirt is a little much. However, I think this pretty effectively closes bug# 112631. I am a little concerned that my hair looks just a little goofy; but hopefully that’s more a function of being overly critical of one’s own appearance.

Flip through changed files…

Thursday, November 17, 2005 - 21:08 by Wayne Beaton

Here’s a neat and (I believe) completely unintentional feature of Eclipse…

If you’ve added your projects to SCM through Eclipse, it will mark changed files (and directories containing changed files) with an arrow (a “greater-than” sign) in the Navigator and Package Explorer. If you want to quickly flip through the changed folders and files, put focus into the view and hit the “greater-than” sign.

Of course, there is a downside as discussed in bug# 116901.
