New Examples of RCP Based Applications

Friday, October 7, 2005 - 09:58 by Ian Skerrett

Back near the end of May, I posted a series of screenshots showing different RCP applications. A number of people have sent me links to new RCP applications, so I thought it was about time to post an updated presentation. You can also see details of the applications on the RCP application page on the Eclipse web site.

Macromedia announces Eclipse based Flex IDE

Thursday, October 6, 2005 - 05:06 by Ian Skerrett

A couple of very cool announcements coming out today. First, Macromedia has announced their Eclipse based Flex IDE. Looks like an alpha version will be available later this month. I think it is pretty cool that Macromedia is building their next generation IDE on top of Eclipse. Certainly demonstrated the flexibility of the Eclipse platform for being a truly universal tools platform.

I always thought that JUnit was good enough

Tuesday, October 4, 2005 - 11:54 by Wayne Beaton

And yet, they seem to be able to keep coming out with ways to improve it. Take a look at “An early look at JUnit 4” byElliotte Harold on developerWorks site for some highlights of what to expect. As of the writing of the article, the new version isn’t available for download in binary form yet, but you can get the code from the CVS repository.

Fun with Combinatorics

Monday, October 3, 2005 - 10:10 by Wayne Beaton

I attended a talk a few days ago in which the speaker was talking about some of the challenges faced by organizations building plug-ins. He stated something to the effect of “if you have six separately deployable (i.e. not interdependent) plug-ins, then there are ‘six factorial‘ (6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 720) different ways to deploy them”. The statement bothered me, primarily because I’m a huge nerd and mathematical genius wannabe.

Metrics for Success

Thursday, September 29, 2005 - 10:53 by Ian Skerrett

Lots of times I get asked about ‘numbers’ at Eclipse. Usually people want to know download numbers. I personally don’t think downloads are a great metric for success of Eclipse. To quote a former colleague: ‘Counting downloads is like McDonald’s counting the number of hamburgers served, not digested’.

To be sure we get lots of downloads at Eclipse . However, the metrics I often use are:

eBay SDK for Java and RCP

Wednesday, September 28, 2005 - 10:14 by Wayne Beaton

I’ve been looking into the use of eBay from an Eclipse RCP. The good news is that it works; at least, I’ve had some success. eBay provides a site for developers where you can get a software developer’s kit (SDK) that includes almost everything you need (more complete examples would be nice) including documentation, examples, and Java libraries. The libraries are Apache Axis-generated web services code (generated from a provided WSDL file).

WebTools 1.0 will support web services client generation into a plug-in

Monday, September 26, 2005 - 13:40 by Wayne Beaton

On September 15th/2005, I wrote about the WebTools Project (WTP) and some issues that I encountered while trying to create a client for a web service in a plug-in. It turns out that this support is in-plan for version 1.0.
