e4 self-hosting first steps
On the e4 call today (open to all!) Eric and Boris demo’d the budding e4 self-hosting workbench. This shows both e4 technology in action (modelled UI, services, CSS styling) while using legacy views etc.
They showed:
- Import from CVS
- Adding a progress bar on the fly to the model to display the feedback for subsequent imports from CVS (quite cool!)
- Drill down in project, opening Java and PDE editors
- Modify/save in Java, create error, error shows up in margin and problems view.
In fact, the only part of the essential development cycle not working yet was commit back to CVS. Yes yes there’s still lots to do but this is incredible progress considering we’re, oh, also shipping 3.5!
It’s looking more and more real!

from one who’s been on the call - it was amazing to see that we can run so much with so less legacy API implemented (I think Eric said 4%)! I think this is really a big step forward and makes people start believing in E4, our backward story, … .
