I’ve been hacking over the last couple of days on an update to the Understanding Layouts in SWT (the original is here). I’ve had my eye on updating this article for a while, but have been skittish about tackling it because of all the screenshots. Bug 221251 forced me to...
No not that p2 – P2 the movie. Given the discussion about our p2, I just couldn’t resist. I know the p2 team is working extremely hard to make p2 a killer feature. Making any change as significant as p2 will always strike fear in people, including me. However, one...
The first thing I asked about “ 20 Things” was for the pop culture source of the title. Apparently (according to McQ), there is none. The first thing that I noticed about “20 Things” was that there are only 17 things on the list (at least there were only 17...
I sat in on the “Modeling the Workbench” breakout session at the E4 Summit. Before I go too far, it’s worth pointing out that there is a lot of activity going on here and I’m only able to capture some small part of it. The information that I’m capturing is...
After the coffee break, we had a discussion of making resources available for the E4 effort. Jochen Krause (RT Project Lead, RAP Project Lead) from Innoopract, the major contributor to Eclipse RAP, is dedicating 3-4 developers to the E4 effort. Innoopract is particularly interested in working toward better Eclipse integration...

Well… mostly. The code for the Eclipse Business Expense Reporting Tool (you may have noticed that I’ve changed what the ‘T’ stands for) has been checked into CVS per the approval of CQ 2310 and subject to the constraints of the parallel IP process. I don’t consider this a complete...
I’ve added social bookmarking to some of the Eclipse Corner Articles. Specifically, it’s been added to the articles that leverage our “new” format. For example: Creating Database Web Applications with Eclipse Integrating EMF and GMF Generated Editors Defining Generics with UML Templates You’ll (hopefully) notice a small bar in the...
Le build d’intégration 3.4 de vendredi a, comme prévu —bien qu’avec un peu de retard−, été taggé “ RC1“. Vous pouvez le télécharger à l’adresse suivante : http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.4RC1-200805161333/index.php. La liste des bugs corrigés (pour les projets qui la tiennent à jour en tout cas…) est ici. The post Eclipse 3.4...
