Interesting perspective on NetBeans

Friday, January 27, 2006 - 08:00

Dana Gardner recently did a post on ‘NetBeans maybe a hedge for ISVs…’. His post was based on a briefing he had with the NetBean’s folk. In the past, I have enjoyed a lot of Dana’s analysis but this post needs a bit of discussion.

Eclipse Review

Friday, January 27, 2006 - 04:06

Alan Zeichick, editor-in-chief of SD Times and BZ Media, did us the honour of visiting us in frigid Ottawa. Alan and the gang at BZ Media are preparing the launch of the Eclipse Review magazine. The first edition is set for EclispeCon.

Brand Hijacked

Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 15:07 by Mike Milinkovich

I’ve been noticing an interesting trend in the worldwide ecosystem growth of Eclipse. No longer content with just focusing on software and developer tools, the Eclipse community has begun to branch out into new areas. Among them: UK-based courier services and Canary Island real estate.

Eclipse in Motion: A four city tour

Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 12:44 by Wayne Beaton

I’m gearing up fo the Eclipse in Motion seminar series. I’m running the afternoon technical session with assistance from some very experienced Eclipse developers. The format of the technical session will be very loose. I’m not planning to deliver very much slideware, but rather will be soliciting input from the audience to determine what we’re going to cover. I’m bringing some slides to cover as many contingencies as possible, and we’ll use ’em as we need ’em.

Cool Open Source Java Proposals at OSCON

Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 03:43

Daniel Steingberg from onJava is looking for some cool open source Java projects to put in proposals at OSCON. Seems like the Harmony and Eclipse proposals are a tad boring; at least to Ruby and Perl folks. Hmmm, those sound like fighting words :-).

Eclipse User Interface Guidelines: Now in Chinese!

Monday, January 23, 2006 - 10:52 by Wayne Beaton

Bobbie Wang and Cliff Liang have translated the Eclipse User Interface Guidelines article into Chinese. I obviously don’t have my browser configured properly, because it appears as a bunch of characters that look very little like Chinese (lots and lots of umlats) with a occassional word that I can actually read. I’ve been told (and have to take on faith) that it appears quite well in properly-configured browsers.
