I’ve got some numbers from from the usage data collector for the month of July. It’s the first full month of real data. Currently, I’ve only got data for commands, views, editors, and perspectives used; the information is restricted to only show those entries that start with “org.eclipse.”. You can...
I generally enjoy reading Jeff Atwood’s Coding Horror blog. Yesterday his post, Quantity Always Trumps Quality, made me think of two things. First, the thoughts conveyed are exemplified at Eclipse: we value code over specifications; code is written, mistakes are made, lessons are learned, and everything gets better in the...
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. As of this moment, we have gathered usage data from more than 22,000 users (more than 20,000 new participants this month alone). The usage trends page shows this in a cool graph. The other reports that we’ve generated...
Une des fonctionnalités apportées par p2 est de pouvoir facilement créer des miroirs d’entrepôts de métadonnées et d’artefacts. J’essaierai de préciser dans les jours à venir quelques notions clés de p2 comme celles-ci ; mais en attendant, vous pouvez d’ores et déjà — coucou David !— réaliser un miroir de...
The videos from the Eclipse Day at the Googleplex event have now been posted on YouTube. Thanks again to the Google Open Source office for making these recordings available. Enjoy. Eclipse @ eBay (the first couple of minutes is an introduction by myself but then Michael Galpin starts talking) How...
Lorsque vous créez une nouvelle classe Java, Eclipse utilise par défaut le template de code suivant pour générer sa Javadoc : [sourcecode language=’java’]/** * @author ${user} * */[/sourcecode] Vous aurez sûrement remarqué que ${user} est remplacé par le login que vous utilisez dans votre OS, et ce n’est pas toujours...
Try this in Eclipse Ganymede (one of the variants that includes the Java development tools): Copy this text: System.out.println(new Date()); Bring the Package Explorer into focus (make sure that none of the existing projects is highlighted) and select “Paste” from the context menu. 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...
