We’re mixing things up a little for Eclipse Nite at JAX 2008 tonight. I turns out that the original room is just a little too close to a live band, so we’re moving across the building to room 6A.

We’ll only be in room 6A for a few minutes; we’re going to do a couple of demos and then move over to the lounge area at the back of the exhibit hall. There, things will get a lot less formal. My vision has folks arriving with laptops in tow with problems that need solving. I have a bunch of Eclipse experts planning to be there. You should be too!

I have “Eclipse Installed” stickers…

Stephen Schaub has updated his article titled, “Creating Database Web Applications with Eclipse“. The article’s abstract reads:

The Eclipse Web Tools and Data Tools Projects deliver a feature-rich environment for developing Java EE database-driven web applications. This tutorial walks you through the process of creating a simple database web application using Eclipse WTP/DTP, Tomcat, and the Derby database engine.

Enjoy

The new Eclipse Examples Project has been created, provisioned, and set to an incubation-conforming state. In short, we’re good to go. I have some code that’s ready to move into the project (pending PMC approval and IP review). But before that, we need to finalize a proper plan for the project. If you’re interested in participating in this project, add you name to the mailing list.

The GSoC timeline shows April 7, 5:00 PM PDT (00:00 UTC April 8, 2008) as the application deadline. Students, make sure you get your applications in!

FWIW, we currently have 120 submissions from students
