Think of the children. Get Eclipse.
I’ve been sitting on this idea for a while…
I finally found a picture that I can legally use while browsing around last night. The idea is a homage to an old Bloom County cartoon by Berke Breathed. For fans of the original, Opus is back.

No conspiracy "Steve"? Are you sure?
I don’t know if anybody else noticed this, but there is a black line in this now-famous picture of Steve Northover embracing the NetBeans girls at this year’s EclipseCon.
I have to admit, that I initially found the line curious, but didn’t put too much thought into it. More recently, I’ve come to understand this line [...]

Eclipse application architecture
In response to my Friday entry, Jeroen asked about Eclipse application design; how do you architect an Eclipse application? It’s a good question.
I tend to fall back on classic patterns. As a start, I separate my application into multiple layers, employing the well known model-view-controller pattern. Typically, I’ll separate the layers into separate plug-ins. The [...]

I decided that, given that the audience expects heavy technical discussion at a Server Side conference, I’d [...]

I’ve got another one for you… Installing and Using the Eclipse Web Tools.
Again, there’s no sound. I’ve started playing with the format (I’ve leveraged Camtasia’s multiple [...]

Installing and using the Visual Editor
I was on a bit of a screen demo’ing roll and built this little demonstration of how you go about installing and using the Eclipse Visual Editor. Again, there’s no sound, so don’t bother increasing your volume or yelling at the kids to quiet down.
The demonstration starts from a running Eclipse Workbench (The Eclipse SDK [...]

Installing and using the CDT
I made this little demo a few weeks back. It goes through the process of installing the CDT feature and then how you use it to build your first C programme. It starts from an already-installed Eclipse workbench–either the SDK or the Platform Runtime Binaries–and uses the Callisto Discovery Site to load the necessary [...]
