    EclipseCon Recommended Tracks

    Saturday, January 27, 2007 - 22:45 by Wayne Beaton
    I’ve been looking over the recommended tracks for EclipseCon 2007. Based on what I know of folks like Chris and Alex, their recommended tracks are more-or-less exactly what I’d expect. There is some overlap between their recommendations and mine, so I’m sure to bump into them. Actually, I’m virtually guaranteed...

    Higgins

    Saturday, January 27, 2007 - 15:51 by Mike Milinkovich
    For reasons that even I don’t completely understand, I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the Higgins project. Perhaps it’s because I am a bit of a closet libertarian. I strongly believe that control over your identity is a human right of the first order. The...

    Eclipse Community Award Nominations

    Friday, January 26, 2007 - 16:38 by Anonymous (not verified)
    Thanks to everyone that sent in a nomination for the Eclipse Community Awards. We received 63 nominations in total, and looking at the different nominees I think the judges will have a difficult time selecting one winner. Good luck to everyone and make sure you attend the award ceremonies at...

    Eclipse Live

    Friday, January 26, 2007 - 16:20 by Anonymous (not verified)
    As many readers will know, I am a big fan of technical webinars. In fact, we are now on track to do at least 2 webinars a month. Over time I would also like to develop a database of podcasts and screencams/flash demos covering the different Eclipse projects. Right now...

    The birth of Aperi

    Friday, January 26, 2007 - 13:28 by Anonymous (not verified)
    There is a recent article titled Aperi stalled, dead even? It makes the point that Aperi is now available for download but who is going to use it? Actually a vendor, NetApps, who isn’t supportive of Aperi is asking the question. Gee, could this be some good old fashion PR...

    Open Source Meets Business

    Friday, January 26, 2007 - 03:29 by Mike Milinkovich
    I have been on the road this past week, with stops in New York and Zurich on my way to the Open Source Meets Business ( english) conference in Nuremburg. OSMB is an interesting conference. I met a lot of interesting new folks and a few old friends that I...

    Fancy Date Widget

    Thursday, January 25, 2007 - 10:00 by Wayne Beaton
    The Eclipse Nebula project has grown a lot in the last few months and it now includes an impressive collection of widgets, including a slick looking date and time picker. For the uninitiated, Nebula is a project where new widgets that complement SWT are created. Nebula’s CDataTime widget is pretty...

    High Praise

    Thursday, January 25, 2007 - 09:17 by Mike Milinkovich
    As already reported by Ed Brill and others, this is, I think, truly high praise from Stephen O’Grady of RedMonk for the capabilities of Eclipse RCP: Notes 8 client is, simply put, one of the nicer looking Eclipse RCP based clients I’ve seen to date, on par with what Microsoft...

    We wrapped up the Eclipse PluginFest last night and by all accounts people were very pleased with the outcome. 18 companies, 4 Eclipse projects and around 45 individuals attended the event at the Symbian offices in London. Most of the attendees were from the key vendors in the embedded and...
