OSGi and Equinox Jumpstart

zx@eclipsesource.com — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 10:15:20 -0400

Chris Aniszczyk (EclipseSource), Jeff McAffer (EclipseSource)

Abstract:

OSGi has been in the press a lot lately. Everywhere you turn there is some new product or project adopting the technology. From Eclipse to Apache to Spring. From servers to desktops to embedded. OSGi enables the creation of highly modular, dynamic Java-based systems.

Wondering what it's all about? Join book author and Equinox OSGi project co-lead Jeff McAffer and PDE OSGi tooling lead Chris Aniszczyk from EclipseSource for an introduction to Equinox and OSGi concepts and a look at the breadth and depth of technology available in this space.

This mini-course is designed to give you a clear understanding of the essential concepts, facilities and advantages of this key technology. This session will be of use to anyone interested in building flexible systems in Java. It is particularly useful for technical managers and decision makers to help them better understand the overall runtime technology.

Converting SWT UI to a mockup using WireframeSketcher Spy

peter@wireframesketcher.com — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 06:35:46 -0400

Peter Severin

Abstract:

The WireframeSketcher Spy plugin allows you to convert existing SWT UI to a mockup. Thus when you to revise some existing UI you don't need to start from zero.

How does it work? Open the dialog you want to mockup. Press Alt-Shift-F2 and the XML of the mockup is put into the clipboard. Open the “New Screen” wizard, and on the second page paste the XML. Hit Finish and you are done!

EclipseCon 09: Jetty @ Eclipse

lynn.gayowski@eclipse.org — Fri, 29 May 2009 14:20:54 -0400

Greg Wilkins (Webtide)

Abstract:

The Jetty HTTP server and servlet container project has been a successful open source project since 1995. The core Jetty project has now moved to the Eclipse Foundation and is improving its already good relationship with OSGi projects. This talk will be a short introduction to the Jetty project, followed by an overview of the move: what's changing, what staying the same and what's new in the Servlet 3.0 release. A significant proportion of the time will be allocated to Q & A, as we would like to receive feedback and suggestions from the eclipse community.

This video was recorded at EclipseCon 2009.

EclipseCon 09: Eclipse on Rails and Rockets

lynn.gayowski@eclipse.org — Fri, 29 May 2009 14:15:43 -0400

Marc Hoffmann, Gilles J. Iachelini (CSC), Mark Powell (NASA)

Abstract:

The Swiss Federal Railway and NASA team up to present how Eclipse RCP has made an impact on technical solutions for operations of railroads and robots.

SBB Infrastruktur operates the railway network with the highest utilization in the world: every day 9,000 trains travel on routes with an overall length of 3,000 km. From the beginning, the Eclipse IDE was used as the development platform - Eclipse RCP is the foundation of the RCS user interfaces. The first part of this talk is an Eclipse consumer story with a strong technical focus on railroad networks as well as some Eclipse RCP aspects of the project.

Since Eclipse 3.0, NASA has used the Rich Client Platform to build software tools to operate the Mars Exploration Rovers. The second part of this talk will give an overview of the many new projects that are enabled by the Eclipse platform and related technologies. We will discuss how NASA has used many Eclipse projects in its software tools including RCP, EMF, GEF, GMF, CDO, OSGi-ReST and the SWT-OpenGL binding. See how Eclipse is helping us explore worlds beyond our home planet.

This video was recorded at EclipseCon 2009.

Total running time 43:08 minutes
