I added this image of Eclipse 3.3M6 running on Windows Vista to the Eclipse Screenshots page. In the process, I’ve started to revamp the page. I’m thinking it’s a little too cluttered: less is more, right? Right. The image… It looks pretty good. It looks as Vista as everything else...

Dilip Thomas the organizer of Eclipse Forum India is ramping up the promotion campaign for the conference. They are doing some billboard and truck advertising in Bangalore and the headline acts include Mik Kersten and Ralph Mueller. Mik and Ralph will be famous before they arrive. Of course there are...

I actually had somebody say this to me: “I can’t use a distro of Eclipse. My boss demands that we only use ‘official’ software from the eclipse.org site. By the way, does it work on Debian Linux?” The blogging recently about including Subversion support in the Eclipse SDK made me...

Simon Phipps, Sun’s Open Source Go-To- Guy, was kind enough to respond to my blog post about Sun’s lack of response to the Apache Harmony open letter to Sun regarding their licensing of the JCK. Since his response was buried in the comments of my original post, I thought it...

If you are making plans to attend JavaOne, you might consider attending the Redmonk Unconference on Monday, May 7. James, Stephen and Cote, the Redmonk analyst, are pretty cools guys, with lots of opinions and insight, so it should be a good time. I plan on attending and I look...
