Building Eclipse Plugins with Maven 2
A new Eclipse Corner article has been published that discusses the use of Maven 2 to build Eclipse Plug-ins.
The abstract reads:
In a mature and agile development environment, it is vital that the developers are kept productive and that builds are done continuously and dependably. Eclipse is a great environment for developers and Maven 2 (in [...]

Importing existing web applications into Eclipse
I’ve been focusing a lot of my attention on Eclipse Web Tools over the past few days. I’ve been looking mostly at how one builds servlets, JSPs, and EJBs using Eclipse Web Tools. I’ve been using Web Tools 2.0M4 (along with its specified prerequisites).

Jiggling the BoF schedule
Scheduling is hard.
I have developed an incredibly deep respect for Richard Gronback. I guess I already had a lot of respect for him anyway, what with the Modeling Project and the GMF thing and all… Scheduling 33 BoFs is hard work. Scheduling 200 sessions must drive you to the brink of insantity.

Anyway… this year, we’re scheduling them in advance. At least we’re going to schedule [...]

Podcasting
You may have noticed that my last couple of posts introduced some podcasts. We’ve gotten feedback from parts of the community that podcasts are a useful medium for disseminating information, so it’s a natural thing for me to start doing.
I thought that I’d get my feet wet by doing a couple of podcasts on EclipseCon, [...]
