    Development Tools for Eclipse RCP

    Tuesday, April 18, 2006 - 16:12 by Anonymous (not verified)
    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...

    A Great Loss

    Tuesday, April 18, 2006 - 10:35 by Mike Milinkovich
    The Eclipse community suffered a great loss this weekend with the passing of Kim Clohessy. Within Eclipse, Kim was one of the leaders of the Open Healthcare Framework project. But for many of us who have deep roots with OTI, Kim had been a friend, mentor and colleague for many...

    Java Browsing

    Earlier today, in a blog entry titled “ Show Source of Selected Element Only “, author R.J. Lorimer described the “Show source of selected element only” feature. Frankly, it’s a pretty cool feature and I think that R.J. did a bang up job of describing it. However, he missed one...

    Using the Selection Service

    Monday, April 17, 2006 - 21:54 by Wayne Beaton
    In this new Eclipse Corner article, “ Eclipse Workbench: Using the Selection Service “, author Marc R. Hoffmann describes (oddly enough) the selection service provided by the Eclipse workbench, how it is used by Eclipse and how you can use it in your own plug-ins and RCP applications. I used...

    Seeking a Balance

    Sunday, April 16, 2006 - 23:30 by Mike Milinkovich
    I just came across this post on John O’Shea’s blog . I think it raises a very interesting point: Unfortunately, Eclipse.org is also starting to exhibit similar cracks. A cursory look at the architectures of many of the top level projects (WTP, STP, TPTP, BIRT etc.) shows the lack of...

    Updating Eclipse Corner Articles…

    Tuesday, April 11, 2006 - 14:14 by Wayne Beaton
    One of the big problems with maintaining any repository of information is that the information can get out of date. You can help. All Eclipse Corner articles are in a CVS repository (dev.eclipse.org/cvsroot/org.eclipse). You can hook up to this repository to gain access to the articles (www/articles). Changes to articles...

    Targetting a different version of RCP

    Monday, April 10, 2006 - 15:33 by Wayne Beaton
    It is possible (and recommended, in fact) that you develop your RCP application from a target that’s separate from your development environment. By default, when you build plug-ins using Eclipse, you develop against the set of plug-ins that are installed in your development environment. However, using the PDE preferences page...

    Calling all Callisto writers

    Monday, April 10, 2006 - 12:56 by Anonymous (not verified)
    I am putting together the marketing and press plan for Callisto. An important component of the press plan is to have articles written about the different projects. If you or someone you know, would like to write about the cool new features in WTP, VE, JDT, RCP, etc. let me...
