The Linux Distros/Tools project has recently been picking up steam. We have begun a number of new initiatives and are continuing to progress well on our goal of getting Eclipse technology into Linux distributions. An update on how we are working towards making it as seamless a transition as possible to move from Eclipse plugin to Linux distribution package will be given. Also come to get an update on the progress of our tools for Linux developers including:

an editor for Systemtap scripts
profiling CDT binaries with valgrind tools
profiling CDT binaries with OProfile
an editor for RPM specfiles

With many Linux distributions making Eclipse technology available and with tools like these being created, it's a great time for Eclipse on Linux!

Andrew Overholt works for Red Hat as a part of their Tools group. He is the project lead for the Linux Tools project which is a part of the eclipse.org Technology top-level project.
