With close to 20 years of releases, numerous plug-ins & extensions and a huge developer base, Eclipse IDE is one of the most popular IDEs for developers working across multiple domains and languages. It’s particularly popular in the Java ecosystem where it provides a robust environment for developing, running and debugging applications.
One of Java's most important contributions when it was first released, over twenty years ago, was the easy access to threads and synchronization primitives.
The Java threads are currently implemented as OS kernel threads which is insufficient for meeting modern demands, and wasteful in computing resources that are particularly valuable in the cloud. Project Loom will introduce fibers (virtual threads) as lightweight, efficient threads managed by the Java Virtual Machine, that let developers use the same simple abstraction but with better performance and lower footprint.
This session takes a look back on the past year and 4 releases of the Eclipse Platform. I will give some insights on the work being done on the platform projects. Besides demonstrating some added features I will take a look behind the scenes:
- Who is currently involved in the development of the Platform?
- How active is the user and contributor community involved?
- Which improvements have been made in regards to performance and usability?
The Eclipse IDE is one of the most popular IDEs releasing successfully every quarter. It comes packed with a lot of powerful features and capabilities that enable the users to be more productive in their day to day work. With the faster release cadence and active community contributions many new features are added in every release. But, we often come across bugs and posts from users asking for features that exist in the Eclipse IDE already for many releases or have been added recently.
Have you ever stumbled upon one of the following issues while developing RCP or RAP Applications:
Getting a clean Targetplatform.
Including Bundles that are not contained in a p2 Repository.
Assembling a Application that contain only the bundles it really requires.
Developers are a queer bunch when it comes to marketing. They have developed an amazing smell for 'corporatey' marketing techniques and guess what - they don't like it.
In this presentation we'll turn things upside down - you'll see what a developer can do when he decides to do marketing.
You'll be surprised.
GraalVM is a new high-performance polyglot VM from Oracle that will probably replace the HotSpot JVM sometime in the future. Reason enough to take a look at the first releases of the GraalVM and explore what that means for Eclipse. This talks gives an intro to GraalVM, explains the different pieces, and explores possible ways to use GraalVM together with the Eclipse IDE. Among the topics we will talk about:
Once experienced you don’t want to live without it anymore: the simple but powerful quick text search extension for Eclipse. This little extension provides you full text search-as-you-type in Eclipse, and combines outstanding performance with simplicity. While being contributed to the Eclipse platform (at the moment), this session will provide a deep look under the hood - and unveil and explain all the details of this feature:
We all know that security is important and you probably care about it a lot. However, we find that handling security issues often means following the analysis offered by a report located in an external system, or reading a PDF.
How can we actually shift security left and make it really easy for developers to avoid using libraries with vulnerabilities? With Snyk’s security tools, you don’t need to leave your favorite IDE to check for vulnerable dependencies during development.
Containers and Container Platforms are getting into every enterprise. Whether the applications are Cloud Native or existing monoliths containers are being used for all kinds of apps.
But how about using containers as developer workstation. Think about :
- Containerized runtime for your applications while being developed
- Workspace containerized
- IDE containerized
- Application development, building and debugging all within a container
- Integration with a source control repository
