Gather together, learn what others in the Eclipse space do, which tools they use and how they use them. Come join us on the Eclipse Day in Delft on 27th of September. I myself will share a success story of an in-house development project we have had now for a couple of years. My talk lines out the tools we use during development, for Continuous Integration, how...
Read MoreI had a great Eclipse Summit this year - and I heard similar things from other people. I had a chance to meet and talk with friends, colleagues and new acquaintances, and to see a lot of really good presentations. Of the presentations I saw, these were my personal top three. Number 3 on my list was Chris Frost's talk about using Snaps with Virgo....
Read MoreHere 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).

Read MoreDuring the last weeks, Kenn and I worked together to support EMF generated editors running on RAP. I'm always mesmerized by how effective such synergies can be used when people from different teams work together for a bigger goal. Kudos to Kenn for his great work in EMF by refactoring the EMF UI bundles (namely o.e.emf.ui.common and o.e.emf.ui.edit) in order to single-source them. But what...
