Cloud computing is one of the hottest topics currently discussed in the IT sector. Although there are many different definitions of the term 'Cloud', providing remote services is at the center of Cloud computing. This webinar will demonstrate how "goodies" from different Eclipse projects can be combined to build applications on Cloud infrastructures.

Together, Equinox and OSGi provide a fundamental infrastructure for defining modules, managing lifecycles and facilitating collaboration between modules. Both are addressing the programming challenges in dynamic, modular and extensible systems.

The webinar will start with a short introduction to Cloud computing. Using the g-Eclipse framework, a distributed, virtual infrastructure will be set-up. Leveraging OSGi and ECF frameworks, a manageable distributed runtime will be started in order to deploy an application dynamically. The front end for the application will be provided with the support of the RAP application. The live demonstration will show how "goodies" from the Eclipse ecosystem can be combined to build a future SaaS platform.

Total running time will be approximately 1 hour

The Google Plugin for Eclipse is the fast-lane to developing with the Google Web Toolkit and App Engine for Java. But just because it makes it easy for newbies doesn't mean that it ignores power users. Miguel will discuss how the plugin satisfies these two groups while sharing the lessons learned during its creation.

The Eclipse Foundation, with help from EclipseSource, held an Eclipse DemoCamp in Ottawa, Canada to celebrate the Galileo release. Four demos were recorded:

• Fleet Management with Eclipse RT Technology - Jeff McAffer, EclipseSource
• Crank Storyboard - Something Cool with Embedded Graphics in Eclipse - Jason Clarke, Crank Software
• Something Cool with Eclipse CDT and Android - Doug Schaefer, Wind River
• EclipseLink and Dali integration in Eclipse Galileo - Tom Ware, Oracle

SAP hosted an Eclipse DemoCamp in Walldorf, Germany to celebrate the Galileo release. There were 200 attendees and the demos were recorded in 2 parts. This is part 1.

Video 1 - Welcome (running time 03:52 minutes)
The Eclipse DemoCamp started with a short welcome speech by Hervé Couturier who is the EVP heading Technology Development at SAP. In his speech he underlines the importance of Eclipse and open source in the context of SAP's product strategy.

Video 2 - Welcome (running time 04:55 minutes)
Following Hervé Couturier from SAP, Ralph Müller the representative for Europe from the Eclipse Foundation also did a short welcome speech.

Video 3 - Memory Analyzer & Rap - Single Sourcing in Practice (running time 24:43 minutes)
The first live demo then was delivered by Benjamin Muskalla from EclipseSource and Krum Tsvetkov from SAP. First, Krum demonstrated the power of the Eclipse Memory Analyzer Tool (MAT) and then Benjamin showed a web version of the memory analyzer built using the Eclipse Rich Ajax Platform (RAP) technology.

With the release of RAP (Rich AJAX Platform) from Eclipse and GWT (Google Widget Toolkit) from Google, it’s easier than ever before to build AJAX applications using the strong typed Java language instead of the less-sophisticated JavaScript. Which technology is more suited to your needs? Dan Rubel and Mark Russell will review the same application implemented once using GWT and a second time using RAP to compare and contrast the two technologies, so that architects and developers can make informed decisions about which Java-based AJAX technology best suits their situation. Benefits, pitfalls, scalability and best practices of each will be covered. Come, compare and learn!

The Rich AJAX Platform (RAP) team is currently working on a project to make a RAP application more "webbish", in a web2.0 manner. This video shows the current status. A new feature is changing layouts (StackPresentations) on the fly without reloading the application. Another nice feature is the personalized Action Toolbar. Like other Web2.0 Services, RAP is now personalizable by the user.

Building high-performance Ajax easily with Google Web Toolkit (GWT) in Eclipse has always been possible, but soon it will be downright easy. Bruce will present GWT's upcoming Eclipse plugin that helps novices get started and lets experts fly.

This presentation was recorded at Eclipse Day at the Googleplex on June 24, 2008.
