What's new in Eclipse IDE and the ecosystem around it
In this talk we will look at what is brewing lately in the Eclipse IDE ecosystem. By ‘ecosystem’ here we mean the projects closely related to Eclipse as an IDE and platform - Java Development Tools (JDT), JavaScript Development Tools (JSDT), Eclipse Packaging Project (EPP) and similar projects around the platform, including the platform itself.
Briefly we will touch also other deviant initiatives in exploiting the platform-level projects (GTK on Win, GTK on the web, the surge of docker tooling etc.) and what they mean for the future of Eclipse.
Demos will be shown about the UI features, workflows and anything of visual interest.
We plan to color these noteworthy news with our opinion on the direction of the Eclipse ‘kernel’ of projects.
