EclipseCon BoFs

Monday, March 20, 2006 - 17:03 by Wayne Beaton

The BoF sign up board has arrived and is in the Registration area. If you’d like to host a BoF, there are forms attached to the board for you to fill out (you only need to fill out the front of the form, the back is just the result of a bonehead printing error). Feel free to suggest a time for your BoF and I’ll do my best to respect it (also let me know if you have any other constraints). Ultimately however, I may have to schedule your BoF at a different time.

EclipseCon Tutorials

I’ve been in California for almost a whole day now, and I have yet to see a girl with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair…

News from EclipseCon

Monday, March 20, 2006 - 04:44

The news from EclipseCon is starting to come out here and here. We are planning to issue the Foundation press releases Tuesday morning, focusing on RCP, ALM and the PHP IDE. I also expect to see 15-20 press releases from companies announcing Eclipse related news; so expect to see lots of interesting coverage.

Goin’ to California…

I’m getting read to fly out to Santa Clara on Sunday for EclipseCon 2006. This will actually be my first EclipseCon. I never did get a chance to attend in my previous job, but now that I’m the Eclipse Evangelist, attending comes as part of the job. I’ve attended dozens of conferences before, but I have to say that I’m way more excited about this one than any other conference I can remember. Really.

Looks like some people are interested in meeting up for an informal blogging party. Chris, Al, Gunnar, Wayne, Martin, Andre are all in.

EclipseCon Sell-out?

Tuesday, March 14, 2006 - 07:19

Bjorn surprise me today when he announced that EclipseCon was heading towards a sell-out. I’ve always thought the big Santa Clara Convention Center, no problem…. Well it turns out we only have enough seats to feed between 1400-1500 people.

Scripted Eclipse RCP…

Monday, March 13, 2006 - 11:59 by Wayne Beaton

Last week, I blogged about some work that I’m doing with Eclipse Monkey. I finally found a few minutes to wrap it all up into an RCP application. In doing so, I did have to refactor the Eclipse Monkey code a bit. These changes are focused primarily on extracting the runtime elements of Eclipse Monkey from the ide parts (my RCP application doesn’t need a “Monkey” menu, for example). I’m wrapping up the refactoring so that I can contribute the changes back.

Evans Study of IDEs

Monday, March 13, 2006 - 03:56

Evan’s Data has release another IDE market survey from November 2005. This survey is free to download, so everyone can take a look.

An interesting thing about this survey is that it includes more than just Java IDEs. Microsoft Visual Studio comes out on top, in terms of share, but Eclipse is second, followed by Macromedia Studio MX. There is a quote from the study that claims Eclipse is the fastest growing IDE; although I am not sure how that was measured.

Eclipse gains market share in 2005

Saturday, March 11, 2006 - 09:10

Each year BZ Research (publishers of SD Times and Eclipse Review) do a ‘Java Use and Awareness‘ survey of the SD Times readers. One of the question is ‘What java development environment do you use?’ They have been doing this since 2002, so you can see some interesting trends.

See you there!

I have to admit that I really enjoy EclipseCon. OK, so I’ve only been to one of the two so far, but last year really was a killer conference. As of last night we were just about at 1200 registrations, so we know for sure that this year’s event is going to be an even bigger group.
