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...
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...

For the uninitiated, Stammtisch translates roughly into “regular’s table”. Ralph’s incarnation of the tradition brings members of the Eclipse community together to socialize and network...
Some of you might have noticed that when Ganymede was first launched yesterday, the eclipse.org website was reeeaaallllyyyy slow for a little while. By way of explanation, I offer the following: But more seriously, many thanks to Denis, Matt, Nathan and Karl for all of their work in getting our...
En développant vos plug-ins, vous avez peut-être un jour été confronté à une erreur, à première vue obscure, due à une directive singleton soit disant manquante… En effet, le PDE lève une erreur lorsqu’un plug-in qui n’est pas “ singleton” souhaite définir des extensions ou des points d’extension. Pourquoi, et...
As we all know Ganymede is out. Congrats to everyone involved. I’ve been following the Ganymede buzz on twitter via summize; lots of positive chatter. It looks like @lylo can claim credit for the first tweet about getting Ganymede but I am impressed that @llun did a blog post about...
