[eclipse.org-members-committers] Eclipse Converge is 5 weeks away

[Mikaël Barbero <mikael@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings Eclipse Foundation Members and Committers,

The Eclipse Converge conference is just 5 weeks away from now and we would like to be sure you won't miss this opportunity to meet together and learn, explore, share, and collaborate on the latest ideas and information about Eclipse. Despite being a one day event, the program is packed with a lot of high-quality contents, e.g.:

• Thomas Watson will talk about how the upcoming Java Module System (JPMS) - in Java 9 - will interact with OSGi and what will be the impacts for application like Eclipse. https://www.eclipseconverge.org/na2017/session/osgi-java-modules-jpms-all-way-down
• Eclipse Che biggest feature is the revamping of the workspace concept. Thanks to the Docker technology and the new "Chefile" feature, Stevan Le Meur and Florent Benoit will show how to create Eclipse Che workspaces that are both portable and shareable with other developers. https://www.eclipseconverge.org/na2017/session/how-provide-portable-developer-workspace-eclipse-che
• Good news everyone, the developer-friendly and next-generation JUnit, aka JUnit 5 (http://junit.org/junit5/) is already supported by the Eclipse Java Development Tools. Noopur Gupta, the JDT-UI co-lead, will show you some of the new features from JUnit 5 and the goodies provided by Eclipse as part of its support. https://www.eclipseconverge.org/na2017/session/embracing-junit-5-eclipse
• Martin Lippert will show how the language server protocol helps Pivotal to re-implement the Spring Boot tooling for Eclipse, but also for other editors like Visual Studio Code.  https://www.eclipseconverge.org/na2017/session/sneak-peek-spring-boot-language-server

And this is just for Eclipse Converge. The 3 days program of DevoxxUS  happening right after EclipseConverge is amazing (http://cfp.devoxx.us/2017/talks). From Microservices to machine learning, going through Java 9 and Angular 2 or Docker, the program is diverse and of very high quality. 

You can register now at https://www.eclipseconverge.org/na2017/registration. You can either register for EclipseConverge only, or for the EclipseConverge + DevoxxUS combo (recommended ;)).

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Cheers,

Mikael Barbero
