Two years ago, when Git and EGit were gathering speed in the Eclipse world, I published a tutorial for beginners describing step-by-step the basic use cases for EGit. Since then there have been many visits and quite a few comments. Additionally, the development of EGit hasn’t stood still. Therefore I decided to update the tutorial [...]

There are several good reasons to use a Rebase Workflow with Git, such as the ability to keep a linear history. However, when I started using the Git Plugin for Eclipse I was unsure of how to follow this workflow.  To help others, I’ve put together a short Tutorial that demonstrates how to use the Rebase [...]

It’s an honor to announce that all these projects will be presented by top developers who play an important [...]

Two days ago was the Helios DemoCamp in Darmstadt at Deutsche Telekom.  I think it was a very successful evening with a whole bunch of good talks. Two of them are very noteworthy. The first one was presented by Marcel Bruch. He talked about the Eclipse Code Recommenders project which he’s working on at TU Darmstadt. [...]

Only 1 more day until Eclipse Helios is release and we are down to my Top 2 features. Over the life of Eclipse (Jeff McAffer tells me that he’s been working on Eclipse since 1999) a lot has changed. Eclipse started its life inside OTI/IBM. In November 2001 the Eclipse Consortium was announced and Eclipse [...]
