Motorola announced this morning that they have joined the Eclipse Foundation as a Strategic Developer and has proposed a new project focused on tools for mobile Linux.

David Berlind has been providing some great coverage of Eclipse Higgins at the Harvard Identity Mashup conference. His first posting provides a nice introduction and a great demo via some screen shots. Well worth the read. This was followed up by a post today that features a Q&A with Mary...
I presented my talk on Eclipse Rich Client Platform today at The Server Side Java Symposium in Barcelona. The talk started well and I think it ended strong, but I feel like it dragged in the middle. I decided that, given that the audience expects heavy technical discussion at a...
