Today’s a great day. The Eclipse Foundation accepted the proposal for the RTP Project. RTP stands for Runtime Packaging.  And here’s what it’s all about. Marcus Baker wrote an article called “Install Me“, which was published in the book “97 things a programmer should know“. On two pages he shows the reader exactly how important [...]

Here are three recent developments from Eclipse Riena, that you may otherwise have missed: • Version 3.0 announced – we have updated the development plan, skipping the 2.1 release and shooting straight for a 3.0 release next June (Eclipse Indigo). While we strive to keep the bulk of the APIs unchanged, this move will grant us [...]

Here’s a nice addition to Riena’s TableRidget: you can now mark a table-row as incorrect. This is done with an RowErrorMessageMarker. When hovering over the marked row, the corresponding error message will be shown in a tooltip. IMarker marker = new RowErrorMessageMarker("An error message...", zorro); tableRidget.addMarker(marker); // to remove: tableRidget.removeMarker(marker); Full snippet here. This is [...]

I’ve spend the last few days adjusting the Ridget layer in Riena, to make it work with Eclipse RAP and Eclipse RCP. We call this process “single-sourcing” (EclipseCon tutorial). Ridgets wrap around standard SWT / RWT controls to provide additional functionality and a better API. One example that you can see below: Ridgets have “markers”, which [...]

We recently had a workshop on redView with the developers of the project, probably many of you know ekke. We wanted to evaluate it and gain a better understanding if we could use it in the context of a project in the insurance space. redView looks pretty promising, and although personally I am not a [...]

Read on for my five favorite new things: 1. Pluggable Marker Decorations The new BorderMarkerSupport draws red-borders around a widget and replaces [...]

For the curious, here is the schedule leading towards the December release: 12/04 – 1.2.0 RC1 12/11 – 1.2.0 RC2 12/15 – 1.2.0 After that the work will start [...]

If you are at the Eclipse Summit Europe this week, here are some interesting talks about the work going on in and around Eclipse Riena: * Eclipse RunTime Tutorial, Tue 9:00-12:00, Seminarräume 2-4 – This tutorial connects the dots between different runtime technologies, such as Equinox, Riena, RAP and EclipseLink * Eclipse Riena Project – Overview [...]

The Riena committers have just done it again: Riena 1.2.0.M2 is now out the door (download). Here’s the New & Noteworthy and the issues fixed in this milestone. Read on for my personal favorites: New ridgets: ILinkRidget, IBrowserRidget, ITraverseRidget (for SWT’s Slider, Scale and Spinner widgets).
