As Chris pointed out a few days ago, the Eclipse Foundation is participating in Google’s Summer of Code. Philippe Ombredanne is helping me with the administration of the programme and has, quite frankly, been handling the bulk of the heavy lifting (thanks Philippe). We’ve also assembled an impressive list of...

Next week, I’m off to Eclipse Forum Europe in Wiesbaden, Germany. I’m really looking forward to the trip. We’re presenting an “ Eclipse Nite” which will be a combination of a reception and a seminar. That is, we’ll be presenting a few talks, but there will be refreshments. We’re also...

The WebTools team has put together some tutorials on building web services and web services clients with WebTools 1.5. Check ’em out. In a fit of stupidity, I pasted the wrong link above. It should be http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/jst/components /ws/1.5M6/tutorials/index.html. It’s correct now.

Based on feedback from Ed and Erich, I decided to rerecord my screen cam demonstration. In the process, I’ve also changed the title. You can find Test First Develoment using Eclipse on the Evangelism site. This is a recording of a demonstration that I’ve been doing a lot lately; especially...

Cliff Liang has translated the Eclipse Corner Article “ A Shape Diagram Editor” into Chinese. We need somebody to review the translation. If you’re interested, please add your comments to bug # 138106.

I’ve added an RSS feed for articles to the Eclipse Corner website. You can access the feed here. It contains the title, description, and a link to articles changed in the last six months. Add your comments to Bug#: 137751 if you’d like to change anything about it. For example...

Cleaning up your code gets easier with Eclipse 3.2. Select a Java element. Any element. It works on classes, packages, and projects (intuitively, the element selected determines the scope of the clean up). Select “Source > Clean Up…” from the context menu. Here’s what you’ll see. You’re presented with a...

I’m surprised by the number of folks who don’t realize that you can use Eclipse to build Swing-based applications. There’s no rule that says that you can only use Eclipse to build Eclipse plug-ins or RCP applications. There’s no rules governing the kinds of applications you can build with Eclipse...

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 important...
