The Eclipse Equinox project produces the core runtime used by Eclipse and the reference implementation for both the OSGi 4.1 framework and JSR 291 specifications. This webinar introduces attendees to OSGi and how developers can use Equinox to create component based applications. We highlight several new Equinox features in the Europa release, specifically improvements to the application model, server-side support and launching the runtime.

For code examples, see the File Link for this resource that is type "Other" (zip file). Most of the code for the full demo can be found in the CVS in the Equinox incubator:

• CVS Server: dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse
• Demo Directory: equinox-incubator/demos/app-model/

Coté talks with Ed Merks about the Eclipse Modeling Framework project, or EMF. Ed gives us a quick overview of the framework and new features and then walks us through designing a model in EMF, generating code, and then round-tripping back and forth. Watching the demo, you can see how EMF could be used to create data models at the begining of a project and then maintain them throughout.

This 4th Eclipse Europa screencast from Michael Coté is on the Data Tools Platform project, or DTP. As with all Eclipse projects, DTP provides quite a bit of platform plumbing, but in this screencast we see many of the more end-user facing tools that are available in the Europa bundle. Most interesting to Coté's unit testing memories of woes is the DbUnit integration. As he comments in the screencast, the SQL query tools look like they’d have been a good enough way to graphically browse various databases without having to pony up cash.
