Thursday, March 9, 2006 - 16:26

Bjorn has already announced the finalist for the Individual Awards. I had the pleasure of working with a panel of judges to determine the finalist for the Technology Awards. The winners will be announced Monday, March 21 at an EclipseCon reception. Congratulations to all of the finalists and a special thank you to everyone that submitted a nomination.

RCP for PHB

Thursday, March 9, 2006 - 13:18 by Wayne Beaton

Got a PHB who needs to know–in non-technical terms–why you should be adopting RCP? Jeff has made the forward from the Eclipse Rich Client Platform book available. In it, Jeff Norris from NASA explains how his organization benefitted from RCP.

It’s available here (in PDF format).

Teach Your Eclipse to Speak the Local Lingo

Thursday, March 9, 2006 - 11:38 by Wayne Beaton

In this new Eclipse Corner Article, Teach Your Eclipse to Speak the Local Lingo, author Kit Lo describes how you can locate, download, and use language packs to localize Eclipse into your favourite language.

Here, for example, is Eclipse 3.1.1 in Russian:

And, here it is in Arabic (Egypt):

EclipseCon: A Global Conference

Thursday, March 9, 2006 - 08:38

The great thing about the Eclipse community is that it is truly a global community. Taking a look at the countries that will be represented at EclipseCon, you start to get that feeling. In total, close to 45 different countries will be reprsented. Of course a large percentage are coming from the US but it is nice to see that people are coming from as far as South Africa and Australia.

Gaming Buzz

Wednesday, March 8, 2006 - 09:56 by Mike Milinkovich

I have seen more than a few references to Tim O’Reilly‘s post on IDE buzz. I actually thought that Tim’s post was well written and thoughtfully speculative. No one can reasonably take issue with statements like:

Blogging Party at EclipseCon

Wednesday, March 8, 2006 - 06:30

I’d like to organize a blogging party at EclipseCon. I think it would be cool to meet in person all the different Eclipse bloggers. We could even talk about who is going to blog at EclipseCon and what sessions are going to get covered.

If you are up for it, I would suggest we get together Sunday, March 19 t from 6-8pm. I will buy the drinks and munchies but to help with the planning, can you please leave a comment or send me an e-mail (ian at eclipse dot org) if you want to attend.

Conference Evaluations

Tuesday, March 7, 2006 - 15:16 by Wayne Beaton

I just got a stack of evaluations from a conference I spoke at last year. I delivered three separate talks at this conference, so the stack is pretty tall. Most of the evaluations are good, containing comments like “All presenters should be this good”, “Superb as usual”, and “Very good speaker. Knows his stuff” (I’d like to thank my Mom, Dad, and brother for attending the talks). However, there are a few that are not so complimentary.

RCP Short and Sweet – Part 2

Friday, March 3, 2006 - 02:36

I am starting to write a press release to announce some project initiatives around RCP. I want to include a short, crisp description of what is RCP. The cool thing about the Eclipse community is that Kim has already started to create a version. I took some of Kim’s ideas and the ideas in her comments to come up with the following. Let me know what you think?

Scripting Eclipse RCP with JavaScript?!?

Thursday, March 2, 2006 - 00:50 by Wayne Beaton

Ward and I have been talking about mashups a lot lately. We both think that Eclipse RCP is a great vehicle for building mashups on the desktop (we don’t think that mashups should be exclusive to the web). I’ve managed to invoke a few web services and do some interesting things from within Eclipse, but thus far, everything has required a lot of Java programming.
