[news.eclipse.commercial] Got Bugs? We've got a Goanna.

James.Campbell@xxxxxxx (James Campbell) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 02:10:33 GMT

Red Lizard Software announces the availability of innovative de-bugging software that can slash development time and radically improve software quality.

Goanna? software is a fast, scalable and precise static code analysis solution that detects bugs and other software vulnerabilities automatically at development time, saving money and helping keep product launch timetables on track.

Goanna debugging and code-testing software is an Eclipse plug-in and is now available online for a 30-day FREE trial from Red Lizard Software www.redlizards.com .

A sophisticated spell-checker for software, Goanna detects issues that can lead to crashes, memory leaks or security vulnerabilities that are hard to find using traditional testing methods.

Goanna is the implementation of four years? scientific research at NICTA (National ICT Australia www.nicta.com.au ) and is the first static code analysis solution based on model checking technology to detect bugs during software development.

It is well-suited to C/C++ software developers, particularly in embedded systems industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace, telecoms/networks and defense.

Goanna is currently available for C/C++ and is provided as a plug-in for the Eclipse IDE (Integrated Development Environment) version 3.4. It supports gcc or gcc-based compilers up to version 4.4. A Microsoft Visual Studio plug-in is scheduled for release in July 2009.

Why Goanna? Because it blends in with its environment and eats bugs.

[news.eclipse.commercial] Ecllipse Communication plugin

rlargo@xxxxxxx (Ralph Largo) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:33:34 GMT

I have developed a group of plugins that allow Eclipse IDE users/developers to communicate from IDE to IDE. The plugin group is unique in that no third party web sites are required for chats, or registrations. Load the plugins and you are up and ready to communicate. They automatically get through firewalls.

Currently, you can keyboard chat, voice chat (similar to Skype), file transfers of any kind including executables, send and play mp3 and audio files, send and play video files, conference keyboard chat, and link browsers so one party can navigate. All communications are done from PC to PC directly.

These plugins are built with the JXTA peer to peer architecture. The web site for more information is: http://www.clique5.net. Please look at the screen shots. There is also a standalone plugin using RCP for those who do not already have an Eclipse IDE.

I need some sophisticated testers whom I will give free copies of Clique5 to. I also need some feedback on how I might turn in some of the software to the open source community, and still be able to commercially exploit the product. I'm not sure how to go about this, so suggestions are welcome. Please contact me directly for information or possible strategic partnerships.

If this is the wrong forum, I apologize in advance.

Thank you,
Ralph Largo

[news.eclipse.commercial] Eclipse Maintenance from EclipseSource

zx@xxxxxxx (Chris Aniszczyk) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 14:41:53 GMT

Your software was designed and implemented to run on a specific version of the Eclipse runtimes, but after a year that release is no longer actively supported by the Eclipse community. Migrating to the latest supported version of Eclipse can be time consuming, costly or even risky, depending on your application.

Eclipse Maintenance from EclipseSource offers dependable ongoing support for the platform you are using, and makes it possible to remain on an older version of Eclipse and continue to maintain your software.

http://eclipsesource.com/en/services/maintenance/

Eclipse Maintenance Features

* We provide support, including patches and minor enhancements, for the three most recent Eclipse releases. At the time of writing, this includes Galileo, Ganymede and Europa.

* Customers receive a subscription to the EclipseSource maintenance repository for their specific release and can also commission patches or enhancements they require.

* Eclipse Maintenance includes coverage for the key runtime technologies as well as other projects. You can purchase maintenance for the full stack - including RCP, Equinox, RAP, ECF, p2, Zest and g-Eclipse - or for individual projects.

Eclipse Maintenance gives you control of migration path by allowing you to remain supported on your current version of Eclipse long after community support for that release has expired.

Extending Support for Your Customers

If your customers are using software that you developed based on an Eclipse platform, they are even more likely to require deployment on versions of Eclipse that are no longer supported. Eclipse Maintenance can help you address the support and maintenance requirements of these customers.

Preserving the Path Forward

Just because you are using an older version of Eclipse now doesn’t mean you won't eventually want to migrate. You need to ensure that the changes you make to your current Eclipse release won't cut off migration paths for the future. Because EclipseSource team members are directly involved in ongoing Eclipse development, we can provide informed maintenance decisions to ensure that your future migration path remains open. We will help to manage the delta between how your code interacts with legacy Eclipse releases and how it will need to interact with future versions.

Contact us for more information on how Eclipse Maintenance can help you to extend your platform's life and maximize your current software investment.

[news.eclipse.commercial] Excelsior JET 6.5 Protects Eclipse RCP Applications From Reverse Engineering and Tampering

dleskov@xxxxxxx (Dmitry Leskov) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 12:13:42 GMT

Takeaway: The new release of Excelsior's Java SE implementation prevents decompilation and unauthorized modification of commercial Eclipse RCP applications

For details, video tutorial, and fully functional trial downloads, point your browser to:

http://www.excelsior-usa.com/protect-eclipse-rcp-applications.html

or read the official press-release below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOVOSIBIRSK, Russia, June 23, 2009 -- IP theft, code tampering and data security breaches may become less of a concern to vendors of commercial Java applications based on the Eclipse Rich Client Platform since today. Excelsior LLC has just announced the general availability of Excelsior JET 6.5, a compliant Java SE 6 implementation enhanced with an ahead-of-time compiler. The Enterprise Edition of Excelsior JET enables developers to fully precompile their Eclipse RCP applications to native code and distribute them without the original class files, keeping the Java decompilers at bay.

"Excelsior JET represents the best, and possibly the only available, solution capable to protect not only Eclipse RCP and OSGi based applications, but also those that rely on the modeling technologies available in the Eclipse platform," said Victor Roldan Betancort, software developer and researcher for Open Canarias S.L.

The key innovation of Excelsior's technology is that it supports the core of the Eclipse Runtime (Equinox OSGi) at the JVM level. As a result, the code and data protection mechanisms previously implemented in the Excelsior JVM are now enabled for Eclipse RCP applications as well.

"We have been testing Excelsior JET 6.5 from its first beta versions and it has revealed to be perfectly working with such a complex RCP application as EasyMonitoring," said Baptiste Gendron, President of Global Vision Systems. "We highly recommend to use the product for deploying RCP application in a secure and easy way."

Excelsior JET not only creates native code executables resistant to reverse engineering, but also provides the most secure environment for running Eclipse RCP applications. The environment blocks tampering with OSGi bundles and injecting unauthorized code via Java classloading hooks by protecting the Eclipse Runtime itself.

"Congratulations to Excelsior on the new release of their JET 6.5," said Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation. "Their support for Eclipse RCP and Equinox is a great example of a commercial ecosystem developing around the Eclipse runtime technologies."

Compatibility and System Requirements

Excelsior JET 6.5 supports Java SE 6 and J2SE 5.0 on Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems running on 32-bit Intel x86 and compatible hardware.

Equinox OSGi runtime versions 3.1 through 3.4 are supported. Support for version 3.5 (Galileo) is in the works and will be included in a maintenance update.

Full pricing and licensing information is available online at http://www.excelsior-usa.com/store/jet.html.

Excelsior LLC provides advanced Java-compatible solutions and software development services with particular focus on optimizing compilers, high-performance runtime environments and the Java technology. Excelsior is a Java Authorized Licensee and a Solutions Member of the Eclipse Foundation. To learn more about Excelsior, visit http://www.excelsior-usa.com.

Visual Disassembler for the NEC © uPD78K0 is an interactive multi-pass symbolic disassembler for the uPD78K0 microprocessor family. The user simply opens an Intel hex file and the file is disassembled and placed in a text view. The user does not edit the text directly. Comments and program labels are added by address through dialog boxes. Each entry shows an immediate result in the text view. Program labels are resolved throughout the entire file. Intermediate work can be saved and resumed later. Upon completion of the disassembly the file can be saved as an assembly listing text file. The assembly listing can be easily edited to create an assembler source file. The assembler source is tailored to the IAR Embedded Workbench 78K tool set. The assembler source file may require editing due to the requirements of the assembler.

Features
* Multi-pass disassembly
* Part selection
    resolves memory space, registers, and ISR vectors
* Memory space control
    Allows definition of data and code areas in the memory space
    Data space can be refined into byte (8 bit) and word (16 bit)

The program is a plug-in for the Eclipse IDE and can be sold as an individual component or bundled with the Eclipse CDT.

This can be bundled with the Visual Disassembler:
ECLIPSE CDT 3.4
