Eclipse DemoCamp Hamburg – Galileo Edition

Simon — Wed, 27 May 2009 02:00:19 +0000

I had a chance to speak about Eclipse Common Navigator Framework on Eclipse DemoCamp Hamburg – Galileo Edition. The event was a full success. Five speakers and fourty visitors were attending. After the formal part, there was an opportunity to relax at the bar of East Hotel Hamburg, thanks to Peter and Martin.

My talk was focussed on the basics of CNF. After some slides on Why, What and How, I moved on to a live coding demo and coded a small CNF view inside of an trivial RCP. Everithng worked fine, until the launch – I misspelled one id in the plugin.xml, and had to resign and showed the prepaired result instead of the hacked one. If you want to read more, check out the TechJava report.

Eclipse Common Navigator Framework

Simon — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 04:45:21 +0000

Just finished to correct mistakes (thanks to Francis) in the article I posted about the usage of the Common Navigator Framework (CNF). In doing so the article incorporates the information already covered in different blogs, but also focuses on the specific use case of providing a view of data structure completely unrelated to the Eclipse platform resources. So the aim is not to add some content to the “Project Explorer” which is an example of resource-oriented CNF usage, but to provide a view on a completely own data model. This post fostered some communication with Francis regarding the CNF documentation provided in Eclipse, so I’m happy if my contributions can be valuable. As usual, this kind of content goes to TechJava….

RCP Help System

Eclipse Platform provides a help system that can be used during creation of the help content for your application. It is very convenient while used inside of the IDE, but needs a special approach if used in the RCP. This article tries to gather the information which may be useful.

You can find more on that in post just published by me on TechJava…

Innovation Networks

Simon — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 08:11:53 +0000

Yesterday, the second Eclipse Stammtisch Hamburg took place. It was nice to see the Hamburger community again. I had the opportunity to speak with Ralph about the activities in consortium and about the innovation netoworks, about German education system and other subjects. It was a very interesting discussion, even it was a non-technical one. Later, we discussed the xText development with Peter.

As usually the rest of pictures can be found in my flickr gallery.

Upcoming Eclipse Stammtisch Hamburg, v.2008.09

Simon — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 13:20:11 +0000

The vacation time of most people is over, so it is time to meet and discuss a little. A good opportunity to do this will be given on September 1st in Roxie, Hamburg during the Eclipse Stammtisch. The event name translates into regular’s table and indicates a regularity of the happening. Even if the upcoming event is only the second in series I expect to meet many people after the great feedback after the last one.

Details:

When: Monday, September 1st, 19:00 CET
Where: Roxie, Hamburg, Germany
Directions: http://www.roxie-hamburg.com/roxieway.htm
Who’s comming: Doodle Poll

See you next Monday.

Eclipse Stammtisch Hamburg, v.2008.05

Simon — Wed, 07 May 2008 20:36:31 +0000

The first “Eclipse Stammtisch Hamburg” took place in Bolero in Ottensen. It was a full success, about 50 people were there. Peter and Stefan seemed to like it too. I was glad to see people I met on Eclipse Democamp again. I liked the location, having a separated room, big enough for another 50 people. I spoke with Ralph on the intended frequency of the event – it could be good to have it once in a quater. Some pictures can be seen in my FlickR gallery.

Speaking on Eclipse DemoCamp 2007

Simon — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 19:19:40 +0000

During the ongoing work on development of a language for enterprise modeling it seems reasonable to develop a prototype modeling tool. Especially in case of enterprise models, which tend to become huge very quickly, it is important to have a possibility to define views on the models, and store them persistently. Eclipse ecosystem offers a bunch of frameworks for creation of DSLs, but these only support certain types of mapping between model elements and notations.

Helge concentrated during the work on his Master Thesis on development of that prototype tooling.

Our talk concentrated on building a repository for GMF-based diagram editor models. Due to the limitation in resources, the goal was to minimize the adoptions and changes of GMF/EMF generators and create a prototype model repository.

Thanks to Marco Kuznik from Loroma for providing the video of the talk. It is pretty dark, but you can hear our voices and it is in German.
