FOSSLC and the University of Ottawa's Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Student Branch hosted an Eclipse Bootcamp on October 8, 2009. Wayne Beaton from the Eclipse Foundation presented an Introduction to Eclipse and Mylyn.

This talk gives a general overview of Eclipse followed by some demos of the Mylyn project. Mylyn provides features for keeping track of bugs and tasks. Mylyn is even capable of reconfiguring your workspace based on the bug/task you are working on.

Thanks to FOSSLC for recording the Bootcamp presentations.

The WireframeSketcher Spy plugin allows you to convert existing SWT UI to a mockup. Thus when you to revise some existing UI you don't need to start from zero.

How does it work? Open the dialog you want to mockup. Press Alt-Shift-F2 and the XML of the mockup is put into the clipboard. Open the “New Screen” wizard, and on the second page paste the XML. Hit Finish and you are done!

In order to be the next generation platform for pervasive, component-based applications and tools, Eclipse e4 needs to adapt to the many environments in which it will run. In this talk, we will highlight the limitations of Platform Resources today, and explain how e4 will address these:

• Physical project nesting
• Symbolic links and other kinds of aliases
• Scaling up
• Becoming more asynchronous
• Remote development

We will especially focus on the core concepts in resources and dive into proposed API changes. After the talk, attendees will understand the big picture of e4 resources, how to apply it to their environments and where it may be interesting for them to contribute.

At Eclipse Con 2008, we discussed the new e4 project - the future of Eclipse. Since then much has happened: the project has been created, groups have formed to tackle specific areas and working code and demos have been produced. We will outline the goals of the e4 project and provide a one stop status on progress made over the year. Finally, we will outline next steps in the evolution of e4.

How does a team of developers create commercial applications while managing application assets and processes on a PaaS (Platform as a Service) platform? Using Eclipse, salesforce.com is able to provide robust, industrial quality tools for team and life cycle development processes on Force.com. Platform as a Service has unique challenges for team and life cycle development. Discover how salesforce.com, using a combination of the Force.com web services API and the Eclipse platform, is enabling developer success. With the introduction of the APEX programming language, Visualforce and the client-side UI technologies supported on the platform, Eclipse provides the solution for managing Force.com projects that span multiple developers, multiple test environments, deployment and source code control, code synchronization and change detection/conflict resolution.
