Read MoreAt Eclipse we are running many, many build jobs on our Hudson servers. Most projects are managing multiple jobs, one for each version that they are supporting, sometimes multiplied by the number of sub-components. Within our company it is not that different on our internal Jenkins server: Multiple project teams want to deliver software consisting of components on different platforms...
Read MoreMany thanks to the maintainers of the 12 EPP packages, many thanks to the projects participating in the Juno release, many thanks to David who did an excellent job this year again: The Eclipse Juno packages are available for download. Now! ...
Read MoreToday I spent some time on the RAP Tools build which is based on Tycho. The problem that I tried to solve had to do with our recent ID renaming of the RAP Tools feature to a more appropriate name,org.eclipse.rap.tooling is now called org.eclipse.rap.tools. Usually p2 is able to update seamlessly from one installable unit to another installable unit with a higher version number, but in...

Read MoreDoing live presentations is always challenging, isn't it? Especially here, at EclipseCon, I like to integrate some demo elements in my talks, but in case you are relying on external resources, such as a network, there is always the chance that it is not going to work during your presentation. And that's exactly what happened when we did our talk on Monday. For those who couldn't...
Read MoreThe new EPP packages for Helios M6 are uploaded to the download area and just need some more hours to be distributed to the Eclipse download mirrors until we can make them available for the public from eclipse.org/downloads. The mirroring is important, because otherwise the eclipse.org uplink would be entirely saturated and no one could get the Helios M6 bits in time before EclipseCon. In the...
Read MoreIf you haven't seen it in the Eclipse announcements: Galileo SR2 is available for download from eclipse.org. From this page you can download the new EPP packages that are based on Galileo SR2 (Service Release) and Eclipse 3.5.2. Or, if you don't want to download the full packages, you can start an upgrade - that's what I did just a few minutes ago. I started with...
