I’m at the E4 Summit this morning. I’m completely surrounded by Germans (which is a Good Thing™). To my front is Boris Bokowski of the Platform team (who actually lives in Ottawa). To my right is Jochen Krause from RAP. Behind me is Christian Campo from Riena and Michael Scharf...
The latest shiny new toy in the social networking area seems to be twitter. If you haven’t heard of twitter, think of it as really small blog posts (140 char limit) and the ability to follow other people’s ‘tweets’. I’ve spent the last couple of months participating in twitter. I...
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...
Radoslav has taken it upon himself to get EBERT running on Sprint Titan (based on eRCP). How cool is that? Let me answer that for you: very cool. See some screenshots here. I’m looking forward to Radoslav’s contributions to the project.
I am excited to announce a new event called ‘ Eclipse Day at the Googleplex‘ to be held June 24 at the Googleplex in Mountain View, CA. It will be a half day event that features technical presentations on various Eclipse projects (Equinox, ATF, ECF, CDT and Mylyn) and using...
I blogged last week about an example application that I’ve been building. Building good examples is pretty hard: you want an example to be simple enough to understand. At the same time, it has to be real enough to useful and expose real issues. I think that this application strikes...
Voici le petit bout de code, très simple, qui permet de récupérer la version d’un plug-in. [sourcecode language=’java’] Activator.getDefault(). getBundle().getHeaders(). get(org.osgi.framework.Constants.BUNDLE_VERSION) ; [/sourcecode] Pour manipuler de manière un peu plus poussée ce numéro de version, la méthode org.osgi.framework.Version#parseVersion(String) est votre amie. Vous pourrez dès lors, sur l’objet Version que vous...
Just finishing up this years edition on JavaOne. Some thoughts… JavaFX was definitely the main message from Sun. The Sun keynote was full of JavaFX demos showing spinning pictures. It reminded me of 1998 spinning Java logos in applets. Sun appears to want to go head to head with Adobe...
