The legal issues of using and contributing to open source projects are often a source of confusion. In this session, we will focus on the key aspects of open source licensing. The session will also outline how the Eclipse Foundation provides the legal framework for industry collaboration through the use of Working Groups to facilitate the creation and growth of innovation networks. As part of this, the session will examine how the Eclipse Foundation manages contributions of intellectual property to Eclipse projects and undertakes due diligence to give our downstream consumers greater comfort as they use and distribute Eclipse technology.

Janet Campbell is Legal Counsel & Manager, Intellectual Property at the Eclipse Foundation and is responsible for the review of intellectual property proposed for inclusion in Eclipse open source projects. This review includes examining both the provenance of the intellectual property and license compatibility.

IS2T, thanks to Eclipse, has optimized a tool chain for agile development of embedded systems : MicroJvm™ Java virtual machine (footprint of roughly 50KB), and their associated embedded libraries (ESRs), allow a brand new system/device design process called Drag Emb 'Drop™ which focuses on cost reduction and better time-to-market.

For the customization of platforms (adding new peripherals for instance), IS2T now offers a platform design tool called MicroBSP. This tool, based on IS2T proprietary Java-like language Ice Tea, relies on IDT, a customization of existing JDT of Eclipse, and CDT for the reuse of existing C drivers.

IS2T tool chain for agile development of high-tech/low costs embedded systems was achieved by combining benefits of Eclipse and Jazz RTC.

Eclipse is the recommended way to develop applications for Android. The Android SDK comes with an official set of Eclipse plug-ins called the Android Development Tools (ADT). ADT provides features such as custom builders, advanced editors for Android XML files, debugging on emulators and devices, and on-device testing.

This talk will show how to use ADT alongside the Android SDK to create, debug, profile and publish Android applications.

In this short talk, the experiences made at Bosch Rexroth when using Eclipse CDT for software development are presented:

• Defining and contributing a own toolchain (Renesas SH4)
• Adding Build Tools, especially PC-Lint
• Adding a "New project" wizard
• Using Ant to run a automatic headless build
• Experiences in general

Java in general and more specifically J2ME, is the platform of choice for providing application models for various embedded devices such as residential gateways, telematics systems and mobile phones. The usage of profiling tools is a must for creating efficient and reliable Java applications. A rich set of profilers and other optimizations tools are available as stand alone applications or as plug-ins for the leading Java IDEs, but most of them are targeted only for desktop systems and are not applicable for embedded systems with restricted resources.

This presentation deals with an approach for profiling embedded Java applications, which takes into account the need to profile the Java applications directly on the embedded device without significantly influencing the system behavior. This is achieved by designing and installing a profiling agent on the target device which communicates actively with the developer PC and consumes minimal system resources.

This approach is applied for creating an Eclipse plug-in which will be presented during the session.

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 2.

The CDT celebrates its 7th anniversary in June 2009. It's been quite a journey and we've learned a lot on what to do and what not to do to build a community that can keep the project running for this long.

This talk takes a trip down memory lane presenting the history of the CDT, the decisions we faced, the choices we made and whether they worked or not, and what we would have done differently. The hope is that these open source life lessons are helpful for others who are embarking down this journey as well, or are stuck in the quagmire of a bad project environment and are looking for a way to get out.

This talk also gives some insight into the culture of the CDT project and, for those who have been lurking for years, to show that we're not bad people and it won't hurt to contribute.

The CDT (C/C++ Development Tools) Project provides a fully functional C and C++ Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the Eclipse platform. The features include: support for project creation and managed build for various toolchains; standard make build; source navigation; various source knowledge tools such as type hierarchy, call graph, include browser, macro definition browser, code editor with syntax highlighting, folding and hyperlink navigation; source code refactoring and code generation; and visual debugging tools including memory, registers and disassembly viewers.

This webinar will cover the topics:

• Overview of the CDT project
• Who's contributing
• What the CDT team is working on
• Upcoming plans of the CDT project
