2154  The Eclipse Rich Client Platform  
Richard Gronback — Borland

Type: Regular Session. Level: Beginning.
The Eclipse platform has gained tremendous popularity not only for tooling, but for general desktop application development. This presentation focuses on the features of the Eclipse Rich Client Platform as the basis from which to create extensible, high-quality applications in Java. We introduce the OSGi runtime, packaging, and core Eclipse components most commonly used in RCP-based applications.
Prerequisites: None.
Room: Continental Parlor 1-2

9104  J2EE Development Using Eclipse and WTP  
Ravi Kumar and Helen Bershadskaya — Borland

Type: Birds-of-a-Feather. Level: Beginning.
This session describes how to build and run basic J2EE and Web Services applications using Eclipse and WTP. We discuss the WTP project structure, server configuration, creation of modules, build system, etc. In the process, we cover application development using Servlet/JSP, EJB and Web Services using wizards, views and annotations. Along the way, we point out the differences and similarities of working with J2EE applications in JBuilder and Eclipse/WTP. We also provide a status and roadmap of WTP.
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of J2EE applications.
Room: Continental Parlor 7

9106  An Introduction to the Eclipse Graphical Modeling Framework  
Richard Gronback — Borland

Type: Birds-of-a-Feather. Level: Beginning.
The Eclipse Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) project provides a generative bridge between the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) and Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) projects. Using GMF, one is able to design a set of diagram elements that relate to a domain model and generate a diagramming surface capable of visually working with that model. This presentation explores the GMF project and illustrate its effectiveness in rapidly providing a visual aspect to nearly any domain.
Prerequisites: Knowledge of modeling, Eclipse, and the UML helpful.
Room: Continental Parlor 7

2120  Overview of the Eclipse Community, Platform, and Framework  
David Hauck — Borland

Type: Regular Session. Level: Beginning.
This session covers the nature of Eclipse as a platform for tools development and includes discussion of how the Eclipse community is organized and how it makes decisions to help attendees understand what they can expect. Discussion of major Eclipse components also helps attendees understand what they can leverage in their own development efforts. The presentation leverages the Borland experience in developing the platform and explains why Borland has made such a major commitment to Eclipse.
Prerequisites: None.
Room: Continental Parlor 3

2122  Build Your Own Eclipse Plug-ins Effectively
Vishy Kasar — Borland

Type: Regular Session. Level: Beginning.
This session teaches how to build your own plug-in using step-by-step instruction and demonstration. No prior knowledge of Eclipse is assumed. If you have been developing in Java and wondering about what these Eclipse plug-ins are all about, this is the session for you.
Prerequisites: Experience with Java and some Eclipse background.
Room: Continental Parlor 3

1134  How to Make your Java Projects Coexist in JBuilder and Eclipse  
Charles Overbeck and Helen Bershadskaya — Borland

Type: Regular Session. Level: All.
This session discusses how to set up your Java projects so that you can use both the JBuilder and Eclipse IDEs to work on the projects.
Prerequisites: None.
Room: Continental Parlor 3

3136  Refactoring and Synchronization with the StarTeam Plug-in for Eclipse
James Wogulis — Borland

Type: Regular Session. Level: Intermediate.
This session explains how to use the StarTeam plugin for Eclipse in order to support synchronizing local file system changes with the StarTeam repository. The plugin is especially helpful when large amounts of code refactoring have been performed where files are moved, renamed, created, and deleted both locally and remotely.
Prerequisites: Familiarity with StarTeam or other SCM tools, as well as experience using the Eclipse IDE.
Room: Continental Parlor 9
