I’m on my way to Boston to participate in Linux World. I’ve never been to Linux World, so I’m not quite sure what to expect. I’m hoping that at least a few folks show up for my session, titled “ Building Applications for Multiple Platforms Using the Eclipse Rich Client...

Great to see the cover story of the March 31 edition of the 01 Informatique magazine is on Eclipse RCP. Interesting perspective they have taken on Eclipse and Windows. I can only find an on-line summary of the actual story. Ralph Mueller sent me a scan of the cover page...

It seems that the good folks over at Novell have been working hard on Eclipse content. The Linux University for Developers page contains a bunch of Eclipse tutorials/demos that take you through the process of getting started with Eclipse on OpenSUSE Linux. I went through the first tutorial, titled “...

I’ve created my first screen cam demonstration of Eclipse. It’s all so very exciting for me. Can you feel the excitement? This demo shows how you can use Eclipse together with JUnit to do top down development of Java code using a test first philosophy. Along the way, I make...

Last night, I posted Cliff Schmidt’s “ Open Source Licensing Explained” talk on the Eclipse Evangelism web site. This is the talk that Cliff delivered during the Eclipse in Motion Seminar series in San Diego, Dallas, Raleigh, and Atlanta. I imagine that this talk shares material with the tutorial Cliff...

Last week at EclipseCon we presented the ‘Pillars of Eclipse’ at the members meeting and to the press. The goal was to provide a high level categorization and explanation of the different areas that the Eclipse community is currently engaged. I also wrote a Guest Column in SD Times that...

I’m gearing myself up for a lot of time on the road. I’ll be carrying the Eclipse banner to Linux World (Boston) next week where I’ll be talking about Eclipse RCP. I’ll be getting some help staffing the booth in the Expo from Eric Clayberg (Instantiations), John Graham (Sybase), and...

I recently came across two blog postings about Eclipse and Microsoft. The first talking about Eclipse3.1 running on the IKVM. The second being a bit more contraversial, by Keith Harrison-Broninski titled ‘ Eclipse and the end of the Microsoft monopoly‘. Of course it is always nice to see people recognize...

I presented a few slides during my short talk. I’ve uploaded them to the conference site and expect them to appear somewhere there. I’ve also posted them on the evangelism site. Due to obvious time constraints, there’s not a lot of material there. The slides are mostly scavenged from other...
