There was a little more excitement around the Unisys booth today. As I attempted to talk by, I was redirected by security personnel. It seems that somebody had collapsed and EMS was working with them. I guess Linux World is just a little too exciting for some. This time, I...

My morning started with me stuck in Boston traffic. It got more exciting. Just minutes after I arrived in the exhibit hall, I nearly got knocked over by a Unisys exhibitor. He was running to see why his booth was on fire. The plumes of smoke where spectacular. Unfortunately, by...

Inspired by my first attempts at making Eclipse wallpaper, I’ve now created a Callisto one. It’s available in the following sizes: 1400×1050, 1280×1024, and 1024×768. You can download these beauties from the evangelism page. On the topic of Callisto… our first date in the Callisto “Great Bugs” competition is quickly...

I am back in San Jose this week for the Embedded Systems Conference. What a lot of people might not realize is that Eclipse is really big in the embedded and device software space. Most of the major industry players, including Wind River, QNX, Lynxworks, ATI, Monta Vista, Timesys, ENEA...

I’m on my way to Boston to participate in Linux World. I’ve never been to Linux World, so I’m not quite sure what to expect. I’m hoping that at least a few folks show up for my session, titled “ Building Applications for Multiple Platforms Using the Eclipse Rich Client...

It seems that the good folks over at Novell have been working hard on Eclipse content. The Linux University for Developers page contains a bunch of Eclipse tutorials/demos that take you through the process of getting started with Eclipse on OpenSUSE Linux. I went through the first tutorial, titled “...

I’ve created my first screen cam demonstration of Eclipse. It’s all so very exciting for me. Can you feel the excitement? This demo shows how you can use Eclipse together with JUnit to do top down development of Java code using a test first philosophy. Along the way, I make...

Last night, I posted Cliff Schmidt’s “ Open Source Licensing Explained” talk on the Eclipse Evangelism web site. This is the talk that Cliff delivered during the Eclipse in Motion Seminar series in San Diego, Dallas, Raleigh, and Atlanta. I imagine that this talk shares material with the tutorial Cliff...

“ Official Eclipse 3.0 FAQs” by John Arthorne and Chris Laffra is one of my favourite books on Eclipse. I use it pretty much daily (at least I do when I’m wading into a part of Eclipse that I haven’t worked with yet). It’s true that some parts of some...
