From the Eclipse 4.5M5 New and Noteworthy documentation: The Project Explorer now provides the ability to view the projects in a hierarchical (a.k.a. nested) form. For modular projects, this allows to have your Project Explorer mapping more closely the organization of your modules as they are on the file system...

How will the developer’s platform change over the next three years? Will you still be using desktop-based development tools? Cloud-based software development options are getting more powerful, but will they completely replace the desktop? For a certain set of developers, cloud-based software development tools will be a natural fit and...

We’re launching the “ Great Fixes for Mars” programme. As is suggested by the name, we’re looking for great fixes in the form of contributions to Eclipse open source projects. There will be prizes. A “Great Fix” is a contribution from a non-committer that provides a significant improvement in the...

Edit: I recommend that you just update to the Luna release. While we’re pretty sure that this still works, it’s not a configuration that we test anymore. Want to add Java 8 support to Kepler? Java 8 has not yet landed in our standard download packages. But you can add...

Dani Megert, the project lead for the Java development tools (JDT) project made this announcement earlier today: The Eclipse top-level project is very proud to announce official support for Java 8. Starting with I20140318-0830 all Luna (4.4) builds contain the Eclipse support for Java 8. For Kepler SR2 (4.3.2) a...

I’ve been playing with the language a bit while tinkering with the Java 8 support under development by the Eclipse Java development tools (JDT) project. I’ll admit that I’m a little underwhelmed by lambdas in Java 8. This, of course, comes from an Old Dude Who Knows Smalltalk (and LISP/Scheme)...

The Eclipse support for Java 8 is not yet available for download. If you want to play with it, you’ve got to build it. Eclipsepedia’s JDT Core/Java8 page includes instructions for setting up your development environment with the source for the evolving Java 8 support in the Eclipse Java development...

I’ve been following the Java™ 8 work by the Eclipse Java development tools (JDT) team for a while now. Naturally, they’re tracking all of the work through our Bugzilla instance. All Java 8 bugs are prefixed with “[1.8]”, which makes them pretty easy to find. My Mylyn query shows me...

Le wiki Eclipse détaille très clairement la procédure pour obtenir un dump de la JVM au moment précis où celle-ci semble soit complétement bloquée, soit tombée dans un mode dans lequel un thread s’est emballé et occupe 100% du CPU… Pour faire court, si vous avez un JDK 1.6 ou...

Eclipse 3.4M5 vient de sortir. Au programme de cette nouvelle version intermédiaire, et en synthèse : Platforme / SWT Checkboxes à trois états : ça m’aurait bien servi il y a quelque mois pour gérer élégamment un “Oui—Non—Ne sait pas”… Possibilité d’ imprimer directement un contrôle (dans le GC de...
