Abstracts

  • JavaFX at Eclipse
Many people still equalize Eclipse with SWT. While this has been true in the beginnings of Eclipse, it changed at the latest with the work on Eclipse 4.
This talk shows the development tools provided by Eclipse when it comes to JavaFX applications and how it is possible to create Eclipse 4 JavaFX based applications.
  • Persist and modify model instances with CDO
An introduction how we integrated the HL7 model into a Eclipse RCP application using CDO and EMF. Why use CDO? What needs to be done to the model? How can we persist changes using EMF edit. It works nicely but ...
  • Are you still manually coding UIs? EMF Forms
Manual development of user interfaces for business application has several drawbacks. Visible components such as forms or reports are typically subject to constant change in response to user feedback. Additionally, many forms are often developed in parallel while each form must still comply with a uniform look and feel. Typical UI layout technologies are powerful but also complex to use since they have to support any kind of possible layout. Maintenance and testing of manually coded forms is costly, time-consuming and error-prone. All these shortcomings are in turn typical advantages of Model-Driven-Development.
In this talk, we present a framework called EMF Forms wherein the user interface is expressed with a simple model instead of code.
  • Predicting the next Eclipse
An eclipse is an uncommon event and the achievements of the Eclipse Project have also been uncommon. As a free, community supported development and debugging environment, it has incrementally raised efficiency and usability standards for developers. Its runtime component model has provided the basis for countless extensions from both commercial and academic developers. Eclipse has been the soil in which advances in software engineering such as model-driven development have grown. The contributions produced by the larger Eclipse community have been truly multitudinous.
One could argue, however, Eclipse represents the fruition of its era. A new era has erupted in an explosion of databases, programming languages, processor cores, cloud racks, wearable computers, analytics and sophisticated learning algorithms. In this talk, we identify the technological and social factors, with a focus on data-driven analytics, which may fundamentally change the traditional Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
  • Maven Tycho in practice
Bachmann electronic develops Eclipse based tools for configuring and programming its logic controllers. The build environment for these tools is based on Jenkins and Maven Tycho. We will present the build process from the plugin to the installable product including our solution for working with multiple branches.
  • Who writes the user manual?
Writing an applications user manual is an obnoxious task for developers and yet it is crucial as a port of call for your appliactions users. Generation and up-to-date keeping of this manual requires a considerable amount of time. Solutions to generated documentation lack the required comprehensive information about the application. But wait! Eclipse 4 has an application model, no? Let's see what the future may bring :)
This talk presents the current state on the Écrit research project, where given the Eclipse application model and the ISO 26514 reference document on application documentation generation we try to find the possibilities and limitations of an automated generation approach.
