Open Financial Market Platform Workshop: Services for a Banking Platform
After carefully editing out the “Oprah Incident“, I’ve posted a new podcast of my recent discussion with Stephan Wilzcek about the Open Financial Market Platform Workshop: Services for a Banking Platform workshop that he is co-hosting at Eclipse Summit Europe.
The podcast should show up on EclipseLive (and the RSS feed) sometime tomorrow. In the meantime, [...]

What are you doing on the line, Oprah?
Oprah Winfrey joined a call I was on today. It was very exciting. You should be excited too!
I was recording a podcast today with Stephan Wilczek, discussing his upcoming workshop at Eclipse Summit Europe when my microphone cut out and Stephan was regaled with the soothing sound of Oprah and her guests (sadly, there were [...]

Eclipse Summit Europe Workshops and Symposia
Eclipse Summit Europe is almost here and I’ve been thinking a lot about the symposia and workshops running on Tuesday, October 9th. More specifically, I’ve been thining about the results. These symposia and workshops offer a great opportunity for like-minded folks to get together and discuss what’s good, what’s bad, and what we as a [...]

Diversity Rocks
I’m not sure if this is diversity at work or not, but have you been watching the Visual Editor Project’s (VEP) Project’s ve-dev list lately?
The project-that-could seems to be gathering steam. There’s not what I would call a huge amount of activity, but there seems to be a steadily growing amount of activity. And, while [...]

Migrating Podcasts from Resources
You’ll notice a change if you subscribe to the podcasts feed off the Eclipse Resources page. I’ve set up a redirect that will point you instead to the podcasts feed on Eclipse Live (which, I hope you will agree is a better place for podcasts anyway). Over the next few days, I’m going to remove [...]

RCP Experiences Workshop at ESE
I hear a lot of good stuff about Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP). I also hear some criticism. Perhaps the most popular criticisms that I’ve heard has to do with the scope of RCP. Some members of the community have the opinion that RCP doesn’t go far enough. It’s concerned, they say, exclusively with issues [...]

Jigloo SWT/Swing GUI Builder 4.01
I noticed today, while browsing through Eclipse Plug-in Central (EPIC), that CloudGarden has released a new version of their Jigloo SWT/Swing GUI Builder. Jigloo, which can be easily added to your Eclipse-based IDE via update site, provides support for building user interfaces in SWT or Swing. It supports the construction of Eclipse views and editors, [...]

Eclipse Packaging Project
I’ve been working on a tutorial titled “Europa World Tour” that I’m delivering at EclipseWorld in November. This, frankly, is a huge challenge: nobody wants to sit and listen to me drone on about 21 different projects for an entire day. I believe that doing so would constitute cruel and unusual punishment.
I do plan to [...]
