I’ve added social bookmarking to some of the Eclipse Corner Articles. Specifically, it’s been added to the articles that leverage our “new” format. For example: Creating Database Web Applications with Eclipse Integrating EMF and GMF Generated Editors Defining Generics with UML Templates You’ll (hopefully) notice a small bar in the...

Radoslav has taken it upon himself to get EBERT running on Sprint Titan (based on eRCP). How cool is that? Let me answer that for you: very cool. See some screenshots here. I’m looking forward to Radoslav’s contributions to the project.

I blogged last week about an example application that I’ve been building. Building good examples is pretty hard: you want an example to be simple enough to understand. At the same time, it has to be real enough to useful and expose real issues. I think that this application strikes...

The Eclipse booth at JavaOne is being hosted this year (as it is normally hosted) by a broad cast of Eclipse committers, representatives from member companies, and other generally-knowledgeable people.

Stephen Schaub has updated his article titled, “ Creating Database Web Applications with Eclipse“. The article’s abstract reads: The Eclipse Web Tools and Data Tools Projects deliver a feature-rich environment for developing Java EE database-driven web applications. This tutorial walks you through the process of creating a simple database web...

The new Eclipse Examples Project has been created, provisioned, and set to an incubation-conforming state. In short, we’re good to go. I have some code that’s ready to move into the project (pending PMC approval and IP review). But before that, we need to finalize a proper plan for the...
