Only two weeks left until EclipseCon! I’m sure everyone’s excited to see the new location, make new and meet old friends. This year we have plenty of talks ranging from runtime over mobile to modeling. Pick your choices!

  • Highly Interactive Mobile Apps with RAP (J. Böhme López, H. Staudacher): Smartphones and Tablets have become ubiquitous. The competitiveness of the market is a win for consumers but a nightmare for developers. To write an application targeted for multiple devices, developers will be faced with an array of platforms and programming languages. Reade more…

  • Deploy and Manage RAP Applications on Equinox, Jetty, Virgo, Apache Karaf, and Tomcat (M. Knauer): You’ve written a RAP-based application, but now you want to make it available to the public? Deploying and managing Eclipse RAP applications is challenging because there are so many options to choose from. Read more…

  • Eclipse/OSGi Puzzlers - Traps and Pitfalls (B. Muskalla from Tasktop, H. Staudacher): Every API has its quirks. Based on the popular ‘Java Puzzlers’ talks by Joshua Bloch we will present the first Eclipse/OSGi Puzzles talk. What to expect? Traps and Pitfalls from the Eclipse and OSGi universe for you to participate. Besides the common pitfalls we will dive into well known Eclipse APIs and their quirks. Together we will investigate the ramifications of using these APIs. Read more…

  • EMF Dos and Don’ts (M. Koegel, E. Mueller): EMF is very powerful and most of the time fairly simple to use, but of course there are rocks and shallows: Why are there so many Adapters on my EObjects? After overriding some generated code the XML serialization stopped working? My subpackages are not recognized by framework X? EcoreUtil.delete is dead slow? Read more…

  • What every Eclipse developer should know about EMF (M. Koegel, E. Mueller): Many talks about e4, modeling and other topics assume you have used the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) before. But what if you haven’t? What is all this modeling stuff about? What is EMF anyway? And who is this Ed guy? Read more…

  • Fuzzy Testing (M. Koegel, E. Mueller): Many of the test cases for an application involve data defined by the data model. To achieve good test coverage it is customary to run the test cases for a variety of different input data sets. This can be achieved by manually specifying different input data. However, this is a complex task and it is easy to miss important input data and thereby miss bugs. Read more…

  • Modeling Symposium (J. Helming, Ed Merks from Itemis): The modeling community is among the most active and diverse in Eclipse’s ecosystem. The modeling symposium aims to provide a forum for community members to present a brief overview of their work. We will encourage minutes lightning talks to facilitate a broad range of speakers. The primary goal is to introduce interesting, new technological features. Read more…

  • What every Eclipse developer should know about Eclipse 4 (e4) (J. Helming, E. Neufeld):  This tutorial will give you a jumpstart into the new concepts of the Eclipse 4 Application Platform. If you have previous experience developing with RCP 3.x, but limited or no experience with e4, this tutorial is designed for you. Based on a sample RCP application, we introduce the most important features of the new platform, such as the Application Model, Dependency Injection and the new Programming Model. Read more…

Quite a few of my EclipseSource colleagues are busy right now preparing talks and demos and we hope to meet you there. If you can’t make it to a talk don’t be shy and meet us at the bar (after the talks) ;).
