Jobs was good for improving the perceived performance of Eclipse, as well as helping out everyone who builds on it. NewLook was probably the most controversial, but most folks seem to like it now. UI/Platform Improvements: Jobs, Activities, NewLook. This probably has helped more plug-ins become more available that build on top of the JDT.Ħ. Note that most Eclipse projects still use a plugin.xml only.ĥ. In practice, it doesn’t seem to have made that much effect yet, but the transition seems to have been seamless. It was a little strange at first, since during the demo, they showed a command line prompt of OSGi. This was nice in that it used another open source project as the plug-in loading mechanism. Thanks again to Ed Burnette for championing this.Ĥ. It has definitely become a focal point in Eclipse 3.1. I expect this to continue to be a big topic in EclipseCon 2005. The RCP BOF was packed and I had to write my name sideways to fit it on the signup sheet. There was a huge demand at the conference for RCP information. I think this was underestimated by the Eclipse Team. In retrospect, I don’t know how big of an impact this really was, but psychologically it was big.ģ.

Swing/SWT live in harmony at least on Windows and Linux. Concrete -> Abstract (Innovations in the JDT donated back to the base Eclipse platform.) This was great because it makes those innovations more widely usable.Ģ. The only exception was EMF and GEF, which I personally found to be quite interesting. The keynote by Erich Gamma and John Weigand seemed to hit all the big themes of the conference. Just some notes from EclipseCon 2004, to get my head cleared for EclipseCon 2005: Last year I went to the SWT tutorial and tomorrow I’m going to the Web Tools and GEF tutorials. Gotta get some sleep so I’m ready for the tutorials tomorrow.

All tech conferences should have free wireless. Apparently Burlingame is a little too far for most of them.ĮclipseCon is giving out free wireless access via a T-Mobile HotSpot to attendees. So I had to call around to three different shuttle companies until I found one that was reasonably priced. I was thinking about taking the BART from Oakland to SFO and getting the shuttle from there, but since I landed right around midnight, there wasn’t enough time to get to SFO before the BART closed. The hotel has a free shuttle from San Francisco Airport, but none from Oakland. Getting to the hotel from Oakland Airport was more difficult than I imagined. It was one of those movies that I missed, but I’m glad I finally saw it. I enjoyed the usual DirectTV fare on JetBlue until breaking out the 17″ PowerBook and popping in Titan A.E.
It was a pretty decent flight, although there were at least two folks who got really air sick due to some turbulence. Just got to the Hyatt Regency, site of EclipseCon 2005.
