EclipseCon 09: Mixing Eclipse Technologies to create Enterprise Ready Database-RCP-Frontends

This talk will introduce the audience to available Eclipse technologies for writing extensible datacentric applications using Eclipse-RCP/EMF/CDO/. The talk explains how to:

• Make use of Eclipse databinding to reduce the amount of code needed to keep the model and ui in sync, in conjunction with EMF-Features like EditingDomain and much more
• Keep your application instances in sync with CDO
• Easily create their own observables for UI-Widget when no binding exists yet
• Use new databinding features introduced with Eclipse 3.4
• Add custom extension points to RCP-Applications
• Use new JFace-Viewer features introduced in 3.3 and 3.4

The demo code this talk is built around is already available to some extent (see Demo-Code) and a lot of this code is presented and explained in the talk.
