Today, I had a conversation with the folks from Addison Wesley about the upcoming Eclipse RCP book by Jeff McAffer and Jean-Michel Lemieux due October 17. They pointed out that you can actually pre-order the book on Amazon. RCP is getting lots of interest so I think this book is...

We’ve had two new people start working at the Eclipse Foundation this week. First is Matt Ward, who in Denis’ words, has “…joined the ranks of co-webmaster/sysadmin/person_to_blame at the Foundation….

I am off to New York City to attend Eclipse World. Congratulations to BZ Media for putting on what looks like a very strong program. If you attending, drop me an e-mail (ian dot eclipse.org). I’d love to share a beer or two with some Eclipse users.

Ed Burnette of EclipseZone has posted an interesting interview with the leaders of the eRCP project. This project just released their first release candidate of eSWT. If you want a good overview of this project and the future directions, it is definitely worth the read.
