In the last month, lots of people have downloaded Ganymede. What is also nice to see is people talking about their Ganymede experiences on the Ganymede Around the World map. For example: Krishnakumar Pooloth from Bangalore, India http://lonelyprogrammer.wordpress.com/2008/07/26/review-of-eclipse-ganymede/ and Stephen Egan from Melbourne, Australia who is using RCP, RAP, EMF...

I blogged a while back about the potential use of a bus for delivering property change notifications in place of the very common observer pattern. A reader commented that the exact service I need to implement that sort of thing is already available in the form of the OSGi Event...

Participation in the Usage Data Collector has been nothing short of outstanding.

JDT will build the project, package, class...

I just created bug 239808, Eclipse IDE for Education, as a proposal for a new component in the SOC project. Please add your comments on the bug. While you’re at it, we’re looking for volunteers… The proposal originates from the need to provide a streamlined environment to help first-year undergraduate-level...

There’s something about the Java Forum Stuttgart conference that I really like. The conference is a little on the large size (I believe that I heard that there were 1,200 attendees) which gives the exhibit area a really busy feel. Good busy. As a speaker, I can’t say enough about...

Congratulations to Mik Kersten for being inducted into the JavaOne Java Rock Star program. The Java Rock Stars are the top speakers, as voted by the attendees, at JavaOne. Mik session was an introduction to Eclipse Mylyn and it seems like he and Mylyn were a great hit. Mik is...
