Jetty at Eclipse
The EMO just posted the Jetty Project Proposal. Jetty is a Java-based web server and implementation of the Servlet Specification and is currently hosted at The Codehaus under the Apache 2.0 license.
The new project, which will fall under the Eclipse RT top-level project, has the following objectives:
Maintain an embeddable release of a HTTP server [...]

Jeff McAffer discusses the EclipseCon 2009 Runtime Track
Jeff McAffer dropped by the Eclipse Foundation’s Ottawa office on Monday to chat with me about the Runtime Track at EclipseCon 2009. You can listen to the recorded podcast on Eclipse Live.
In the podcast, we chat about the agonizing selection process through which the programme committee managed to whittle down a huge assortment of great [...]

EBERT: It’s alive!
Well… mostly.
The code for the Eclipse Business Expense Reporting Tool (you may have noticed that I’ve changed what the ‘T’ stands for) has been checked into CVS per the approval of CQ 2310 and subject to the constraints of the parallel IP process.
I don’t consider this a complete example yet. The initial code contribution is [...]

EBERT on Sprint Titan
Radoslav has taken it upon himself to get EBERT running on Sprint Titan (based on eRCP). How cool is that? Let me answer that for you: very cool.
See some screenshots here. I’m looking forward to Radoslav’s contributions to the project.

Introducing EBERT
I blogged last week about an example application that I’ve been building. Building good examples is pretty hard: you want an example to be simple enough to understand. At the same time, it has to be real enough to useful and expose real issues. I think that this application strikes a reasonable balance. The Eclipse [...]

Three Runtimes
I’ve been spending a great deal of time working with Eclipse runtime technology recently. Specifically, I’ve been building an example application that deploys using Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP), Rich Ajax Platform (RAP), and embedded Rich Client Platform (eRCP). The application itself is simple enough: I like examples to be as simple as possible, but [...]

The Interesting Part
The Eclipse Examples project has been provisioned! I’ll spend some time later this week setting up the landing page and get to work moving some of my examples into the new project. Frankly, it’s exciting as heck for me.
Over the last few days, I’ve been dreaming a bit about some of the code that I’d [...]

Equinox Services and User Interface
I’ve been trying to decide how to work with Equinox services in the user interface.
I’ve started modifying the Organizer application that will soon be part of the Eclipse Examples Project (once it’s provisioned) to use Equinox services. I’ve got a view that updates its appearance based on available services. The implementation is straightforward enough. The [...]

Eclipse Riena Project
This morning, after the throught-provoking keynote by Cory Doctorow, I sat in on the Eclipse Riena Project session, presented by Christian Campo (compeople AG, Frankfurt/Main, Germany)
Fundamentally, Riena is about distributing services across tiers. It’s born from a need to have applications that are lighter than rich clients, but more functional and performant than light [...]

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 [...]
