    Eclipse Developer’s Journal has published an article from Todd Williams titled “ Eclipse: A Solid Desktop, Rich-Client, or Embedded Application Framework“.

    This is rather cool. As noted by Nat Torkington, Dave Thomas has just been recognized by the ACM as a Distinguished Engineer. Dave was the founder of OTI, which after it was acquired by IBM eventually became the core development team for Eclipse. Other than my family, he’s probably had...
