Yoxos Plug-in Partner Programme
I’ve written about Yoxos before. Yoxos, brought to us by the good people at Innoopract, is one of a handful of Eclipse distributions. They have a pretty cool Ajax-infected website that lets you specify the Eclipse components that you need (which they refer to as a scenario) and then builds an Eclipse image containing all [...]

There’s still time for BoFs
I’m officially declaring my attempts at keeping Wednesday night EclipseCon 2007 BoF slots open as an abysmal failure; it seems that an awful lot of folks wanted their BoF sessions on the last night. I had originally intended to keep Wednesday night as open as possible so that we could schedule some last minute sessions, [...]

Five Reasons to Love Mylar
For my money, there just hasn’t been enough talk about Mylar lately. And I think I understand why. At least for me, Mylar has become such an integrated part of my workday, that I don’t really think all that much about it.

Jiglooin’ a GroupLayout
I’ve been playing with Jigloo this evening. I noticed earlier today that the entry on EPIC for Jigloo claimed support for GroupLayout, so I decided to take a closer look.
The current release version, 3.9.5, supports the org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout that you can find as part of the Swing Layout project. As I understand it, this is essentially [...]

We won him over?
You may recall a post a while back about a new and exciting blog titled “Eclipse Sucks”, hosted by a German post-graduate student Hobel. If you followed his blog, you’d have noticed that it started out very negative of Eclipse, but appeared to get warmer over time. Now the blog has totally disappeared.
