Free Pavilion Passes to JavaOne

Monday, May 1, 2006 - 09:37

The Eclipse Foundation will have a booth at JavaOne, so I have a number of 1 day passes to the exhibit hall. If you want one of these passes, send me an e-mail (ian at eclipse dot org) and I will send you the secret code to register.

fyi, I am sorry to say these passes do not provide access to the technical sessions, just the exhibit hall.

Antoine

Tuesday, April 25, 2006 - 11:56 by Mike Milinkovich

No, that’s not the name of a new committer

Project Antoine is a really interesting idea. UBC is running Project Antoine to collect information on how people are actually using Webtools. The information will be used to improve usability.

Project Focus

Monday, April 24, 2006 - 16:48 by Mike Milinkovich

So John Graham is asking a question that I have seen repeated in various forms many times before. In a nutshell, should Eclipse projects focus on (a) building a well-architected platform or (b) building great tools for end-users to pick up and use “as is”?

BarCamp Ottawa

Monday, April 24, 2006 - 15:11 by Mike Milinkovich

On Saturday morning I had a chance to both attend and speak at the first BarCamp Ottawa.

For anyone who’s ever wondered if these BarCamp “unconferences” really work, the answer is a most emphatic yes. The talks I went to were great. And at what other event could you attend both a talk on Aspect-Oriented Programming and The Future of the Telephone?

Another article in Chinese

Saturday, April 22, 2006 - 21:45 by Wayne Beaton

Cliff Liang has translated the Eclipse Corner Article “A Shape Diagram Editor” into Chinese. We need somebody to review the translation. If you’re interested, please add your comments to bug #138106.

RSS for articles

Saturday, April 22, 2006 - 17:53 by Wayne Beaton

I’ve added an RSS feed for articles to the Eclipse Corner website. You can access the feed here. It contains the title, description, and a link to articles changed in the last six months.

Add your comments to Bug#: 137751 if you’d like to change anything about it. For example… would like to have an RSS feed for a particular filter (e.g. a feed containing only articles with SWT content)?

Hannover Community Building

Saturday, April 22, 2006 - 14:17 by Mike Milinkovich

One of the most interesting new products being built on top of the Eclipse RCP is the new version of IBM’s Lotus Notes client. Dubbed the “Hannover” release, it is a complete significant re-write of the Notes UI on top of RCP. (Or more accurately on top of Workplace Client which is on top of RCP.)

Clean up

Friday, April 21, 2006 - 14:24 by Wayne Beaton

Cleaning up your code gets easier with Eclipse 3.2. Select a Java element. Any element. It works on classes, packages, and projects (intuitively, the element selected determines the scope of the clean up). Select “Source > Clean Up…” from the context menu. Here’s what you’ll see.

Eclipse for Swing development

Tuesday, April 18, 2006 - 16:17 by Wayne Beaton

I’m surprised by the number of folks who don’t realize that you can use Eclipse to build Swing-based applications. There’s no rule that says that you can only use Eclipse to build Eclipse plug-ins or RCP applications. There’s no rules governing the kinds of applications you can build with Eclipse at all (heck, you don’t even need to use Java).

Development Tools for Eclipse RCP

Tuesday, April 18, 2006 - 16:12

I’ve noticed in the last 1-2 months companies and open source projects marketing tools for building Eclipse RCP applications. For example,

Instantiations announced their RCP Developer product at EclipseCon and have a free trial download.

Don Young from InPowerSoft has posted a very detailed article at EclipseZone about their InPowerForms product. It also includes an interesting commentary of MS .Net.
