The Great Book Giveaway at JavaPolis!
I’m really excited about JavaPolis. We had another member come forward today to contribute to the Eclipse in Action sessions; I can’t wait to post the agenda we’ve assembled: it’s packed with technical sessions that will delight and amaze you. In a previous post, I mentioned books. Here’s the list...
An interesting use of RCP…
It is great that people are sending in examples of RCP applications. We posting a list here. Every once in a while someone sends me an example that is really different. Last week, Wolfgang Gehner for Infonoia SA sent me a link to the application they did for the World...
Big Night!
The CDT Contributors Conference wrapped up tonight with a social event at a local pool hall. The event was well attended by lots of really smart people. To start with, Ward Cunningham was there. Early in the evening Dave Thomas showed up. Brian Foote was there as well. Of course...
Planet Eclipse
I was speaking with a friend and frequent reader of my blog this evening. Dave pointed out to me that there is no indication on my blog of how to access it via RSS feed. I’ve added a link to the right that points to the Atom feed. For readers...
Eclipse: Not just for Java
I had originally envisioned the title of this posting including the word “anymore” at the end. However, that would be grossly inaccurate since Eclipse has not been just for Java for some time. I attended a couple of the morning sessions for the CDT Contributor Summit, hosted by QNX, here...
JavaPolis 2005
Eclipse is going to be at JavaPolis in Antwerp, Belgium in December. I’m really excited about this conference for a few reasons. To start, I’ve never been to Belgium. I’ve been close a few times, but I’ve never actually been in the country. I love Europe so I jump on...
The Importance of Technical Articles
I think publishing articles is one of the most effective way of getting the word out about Eclipse. If marketing is about having conversations, then articles are a good way to start that conversation. For example, Lawrence Mandel and Jeff Liu recently published an Eclipse Web Tools article on the...
PHPEclipse 1.1.7 and WTP 0.7.1
I updated WTP to version 0.7.1 today and something curious happened: the option to edit HTML files using the HTML editor disappeared. Strange, I thought. When I reverted back to WTP 0.7, the ability returned. I created a completely new and separate installation of Eclipse 3.1.1 to verify the problem...
Life goal #493
Earlier today, I sent a note off to an Eclipse contributor to ask a couple of questions about the status of a bug I submitted. My message somehow got flagged as obscene spam which is sort of cool all by itself (though not all that improbable). Anyway, he apparently made...
