The CDT Project provides professional strength tools for C/C++ developers. Doug Schaefer, lead of the Eclipse CDT project, will present an overview of the CDT and demo the latest work for the Indigo release, coming at the end of June. Topics will include support for Android native development, refactoring, CODAN static analsis, Visual C++ integration, support for desktop and embedded development and what's next for the project.

Total running time will be approximately 1 hour

It is a known fact that embedded system complexity doesn't stop increasing and model-driven software development turns more and more out to be an adequate approach to keeping this complexity under control. But it is still a major hassle to provide corresponding integrated tool environments which are sufficiently domain-oriented, scalable and robust. Eclipse as an open and extensible tool platform is a very good starting point but not a solution per se. The Eclipse Modeling Project provides many of the additionally required building blocks but is very fragmented and not up to the point where it could provide the level of tool support embedded system designers expect.

The recently created Sphinx project is meant to significantly improve this situation. It will be seeded with code from Artop – a platform for creating modeling tools supporting the AUTOSAR standard which has already been deployed at several larger automotive companies. Complementary building blocks will come from the Papyrus project. Sphinx will provide a modeling tool platform enabling IDE-like tool support for specific modeling languages to be developed at reasonable effort and cost. It will leverage and foster the industrial strength known from Artop and head towards a domain- and vendor-independent interoperability layer (backbone) for modeling tools of any kind.

The purpose of the Sequoyah project is to be focused on the needs of all mobile developers. Inheriting components from the TmL, MTJ and Pulsar projects, Sequoyah intends to remove the artificial barriers of Linux and Java in order to provide a home for all Eclipse mobile developers.

Join the Sequoyah team for an overview of the new features in the project for the Eclipse Helios release.

The Ambicomp research project develops hardware modules and a transparently distributed virtual machine for embedded systems. The current hardware portfolio contains Bluetooth, Ethernet and Power-over-Ethernet modules, as well as various IO modules. An 8bit microcontroller on each module executes a virtual machine instance. An Eclipse-Plugin and a module emulator provide easy access to the virtual machine and the hardware features.

Ambicomp's main goal is to provide a single system image across a potentially large, distributed set of hardware modules. To this end, it employs latest research results from distributed computing: scalable source routing, globally accessible objects, and software transactional memory. As a result, Ambicomp provides an easy means for rapid prototyping and thereby supports small and medium sized companies to achieve a quick time to market.

Ambicomp does not address a particular target market. Promising prototypes are building automation, process automation, and ambient assisted living. The Ambicomp project is funded by the BMBF. Ambicomp partners are always interested in collaborations that can establish further use cases for this technology.

The Eclipse IDE is arguably the most popular embedded integrated development environment on the planet and may already be part of your tool chain. If you’re not using it to its fullest potential, you’re not alone. So many features are packed into this IDE that cranking out high-quality C/C++ code using the fewest keystrokes can take years to master.

Take one hour out of your busy day and learn over two dozen shortcuts gathered from developers who bathe in the Eclipse IDE on a daily basis. Discover time-saving features like:

• auto code formatting
• code folding
• advanced search techniques
• automatic refactoring of code
• call hierarchy navigation
• helpful keyboard short cuts
• useful plug-ins
• at-a-glance file comparison

Who Should Attend? Embedded software developers, managers, architects, and engineers.

Duration: 1 hour, including Q & A.

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.
