The groundbreaking new Post Execution Logging functionality in Chronon allows you to add logging after the execution of your code!

You can see the results instantly inside our Time Travelling Debugger. Not only that, clicking on a line of log output takes you to the point in time when it was output and you can examine the full state of your program and step backward/forward in the execution of your code.

This means that you can get rid of all the logging statements cluttering up your code entirely!

This also mans that you can develop faster and have cleaner code which performs better (due to no overheard of logging statements).

The Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) has long provided a code generation facility capable of emitting everything needed to get started with building a complete application for EMF-based domain models. It includes a GUI from which options can be specified and code generators can be invoked, to produce a model API, edit support, unit tests and a sample editor.

With the Helios release of Eclipse, this facility moves beyond the boundaries of the Eclipse platform, and desktop applications in general, by adding support for the Rich Ajax Platform (RAP) and Google Web Toolkit (GWT). This session will demonstrate EMF's support for these application runtime platforms and highlight differences in the code generated for each.

The Eclipse Communication Framework (ECF) is a framework for supporting the development of distributed Eclipse-based tools and applications. It can be used to create other plugins, tools or full Eclipse RCP applications that require asynchronous point-to-point or publish-and-subscribe messaging. This demo shows what's new in ECF for Eclipse 3.6, the Helios release.

The Linux Tools project aims to bring a full-featured C and C++ IDE to Linux developers. It builds on the source editing and debugging features of the CDT and integrates popular native development tools such as the GNU Autotools, Valgrind, OProfile, RPM, SystemTap, GCov, GProf and LTTng. Current projects include Autotools build integration, a Valgrind heap usage analysis tool and an OProfile call profiling tool. It also has projects implementing LTTng trace viewers and analyzers.

Linux Tools also provides a place for Linux distributions to collaboratively overcome issues surrounding distribution packaging of Eclipse technology. The project produces both best practices and tools related to packaging. Since the 0.3.0 release, one of the features is a source archive of the Eclipse SDK that can be used by all Linux distributions building and distributing it.

This video shows how to automate functional GUI tests for Eclipse based user interfaces. froglogic's Reginald Stadlbauer shows how to set up an fully automated test using the Squish GUI testing tool version 4.0- which itself is Eclipse based and integrates into the Eclipse environment.

On June 23, the new Xtext version 1.0 will be released as part of Eclipse's annual release train. During the last year Xtext has grown from a tiny DSL editor generator, to a full-blown language development framework.

With Xtext 1.0 you can develop complex programming languages and you not only get an advanced editor, but a complete integrated development environment (IDE) based on Eclipse. The new workspace indexer and the builder infrastructure enable sophisticated IDE features, as we will demonstrate in this webinar. The new JVM-types allow you to link to and integrate with any Java element and Eclipse's JDT.

During the webinar we will give a short overview on Xtext and how it works behind the scenes. We will demo different aspects of the framework’s features and show how to implement an interpreter for arithmetic expressions. The 60 minutes will be a great opportunity for you to get in touch with the Xtext core committers, ask questions and learn about the new and noteworthy features in version 1.0.

Total running time will be approximately 56:41 minutes

Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) are becoming more and more popular, allowing developers to express their intent more precisely and with less syntactic noise. DSLs can be built on top of a host language (like Java or Ruby), which are referred to as "internal DSLs". External DSLs are far more flexible in terms of language design: you can define any desired grammar, you can define domain specific constraints and error messages, and you can process the DSL in a concise manner because it can either be interpreted or transformed into the code of any language by a generator.

TMF Xtext, which is a part of the Eclipse Galileo release, is a framework for developing textual domain-specific languages. Given an EBNF-style grammar, Xtext automatically generates an Ecore meta model and a rich-featured, fully configurable text-based DSL editor including features such as syntax highlighting, hyperlinked reference navigation, reference look-up, code completion, formatting, an outline and so on. The default implementation can easily be customized.

In this session Peter will explain what DSLs are and why you should care about using them. After a short introduction, he will show how to develop DSLs with TMF Xtext, which is a part of this year's Galileo release. You will learn how to define a grammar for a DSL and create a full-blown editor for this DSL, featuring code completion, syntax highlighting, hyperlinking, a semantic outline and more. Peter will also show how to write a code generator that allows you to transform your DSL scripts into running software.

The ACTF is a software framework for building a variety of utilities that help to evaluate and enhance the accessibility of applications and content for people with disabilities. The framework components such as compliance validation tools, assistive technology simulation applications, usability visualization tools, unit-testing utilities and alternative accessible interfaces for applications, function cooperatively with each other and with other Eclipse projects to provide a comprehensive development environment.
