Callisto itself is pretty cool. Coordinating the release of ten separate Eclipse projects is no small undertaking and the project teams are doing a great job of it. But what’s cool about Callisto for you? I have my own ideas. Many, many ideas. Too many in fact. I’m curious to...
It is possible (and recommended, in fact) that you develop your RCP application from a target that’s separate from your development environment. By default, when you build plug-ins using Eclipse, you develop against the set of plug-ins that are installed in your development environment. However, using the PDE preferences page...
I am putting together the marketing and press plan for Callisto. An important component of the press plan is to have articles written about the different projects. If you or someone you know, would like to write about the cool new features in WTP, VE, JDT, RCP, etc. let me...
And I should know. I’ve been kicked in the head. A few times. The best part about day three at Linux World was meeting Bill Hilliard from Intel. Bill has a lot of experience with the CDT and was able to educate me as he answered questions about it to...
We just finished up exhibiting at ESC. This was my first ESC, so I really didn’t know what to expect? By all accounts, I think we was a success and we will be back next year. In general, the embedded market doesn’t seem to be as software saavy as the...
I get to join Ian at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) this week. I spent several hours today walking the exhibit floor looking for Eclipse-based tools and products. They’re everywhere! I am really miffed with myself for forgetting to bring my camera. Just a partial list of companies showing Eclipse-based...
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...
