Martin Aeschlimann

The Java development tools (JDT) contribute a set of plug-ins for Java development. Like the Eclipse Platform it provides APIs and extension points inviting developers to extend and customize the Java tooling. The tutorial introduces the core infrastructure (Java model, AST, search engine, type hierarchy), discuses the design decisions behind it and shows examples of extensions using the Eclipse JDT API and extension points.

Martin Aeschlimann is a software engineer for IBM Zurich Labs and is the lead of the JDT UI team and responsible for the Search component. He has been working on the Eclipse project since the beginning, focusing on quick fix and assist, code generation wizards, type hierarchy view and Javadoc support. He obtained his MCS from ETH Zurich in 1999.
