You have to love the Register for coming up with graphical headlines. For instance this recent article titled ‘ Eclipse giants squeeze into iPhone’s leather pants‘ which actually references an article about using Eclipse to develop applications for the iPhone. This headline really needs a graphic. Anyone out there want...
Last week, I quietly rolled out an addition to Eclipse Corner that shows the Eclipse projects and releases that an article is compatible with. The change also provides, when appropriate, a link to Bugzilla entries concerned with the article (so you can more easily make comments or suggest corrections for...
For some reason, in the last couple of weeks stories about OSGi and Equinox are popping up everywhere. Two articles about OSGi were recently published: Dave Chappell & Khanderao Kand from Oracle just published an article called ‘ Universal Middleware: What’s Happening With OSGi and Why You Should Care‘ in...
Well, maybe not quite “Super” The nominations for the Eclipse Foundation Board of Director elections are now posted. This is a great collection of nominees. I want to personally thank each of them for putting their names forward. Given the candidates, the Eclipse community will be well served by any...

L’idée de Babel est d’apporter à Eclipse non seulement une solution pour...
Every once in a while, my Google alerts brings up something that makes me say ‘that is kind of cool’. For instance, today this announcement that a fleet of US Navy destroyers will be using a Java rules engine, called Jesse, that is built on top of Eclipse. I realize...
The BoF submissions for EclipseCon 2008 are starting to pile up. You can view them here. Sadly, none of them have descriptions that rival the Mylyn one in comedic value, but there’s still time. In terms of popularity, it seems that the Mega Modeling Mania BoF is the current front...
I think that I may have had something to do with this… A few months back, I made a crack to Denis that it’d only be a matter of time before somebody submitted Klingon translations for Eclipse. Imagine that, Eclipse in Klingon… Anyway, Klingon is a featured language on Babel...
For those getting bored about the ongoing blah blah about Clinton vs Obama or McCain vs Romney or you think US politics just doesn’t matter, I give you something that matters and where you can have a direct impact. The voting for the Eclipse Community Awards is now open. We...
