In 2020 not far from the filming locations, Italy became one of the worst affected places by the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
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.
Cloud solutions is an interest for every software company or software owner in the world.
But what if you have already an old and good software and a community uses it.
The migration of any software is always a huge work and needs a good plan.
On the other side, Eclipse Community has share over years a lot of technologies and libraries which enable us if we have in a good design to run an Eclipse OSGI plugins on any cloud native provider.
While microservice architecture has become extremely common, its use in the UI layer is still somewhat rare and difficult. Building microservices in the UI layer (sometimes called Micro Frontends) requires well-thought-out support frameworks that allow for collaboration between loosely coupled and independently deployable components. Well it turns out that the Eclipse Platform developers have been innovating and fine-tuning such frameworks for the last 20 years, and in this session we'll explore what they have to teach us.
Software developers create software. That’s somewhat natural. But what most software developers don't think about, is how this software is run in the end.
We (SSI Schaefer) have been facing challenges with deployment for years. SSI Schaefer is building large scale business applications based on the Eclipse RCP platform. These applications are installed on thousands of customer servers, and the client applications on even more customer client PCs. We absolutely need an easy, straight forward way to be able to package, transfer, install, configure, run and update these applications.
Eclipse Theia is a new platform for building cloud and desktop tools for engineers and developers. It's a truely open-source, vendor neutral IDE framework based on modern technology and is already adopted by Google, SAP, arm, Alibaba, RedHat, IBM, Ericsson, TypeFox and many others.
In this session I want to walk you through the history of the project, take a deep dive into its current state and explain how we managed to grow a very active and diverse community.
Akuiteo is a french company that publishes Akuiteo ERP, a software management platform for services companies.
Our main front-end product is an Eclipse RCP-based application. This product was launched in 2007, and our last technical migration (from RCP 3.5 to RCP 3.7) occured in 2012.
After 5 years, it was time to enter in a new era by changing the engine and migrating to e4 !
I'll present the different steps, the doubts, the pitfalls and eventually the success !
Most of us, developers, use databases quite regularly.
SQL, NoSQL, flat-files, spreadsheets - it does not matter. We change our databases frequently. But we don't like to change our tools, we prefer to have one solid interface. Best option if our tools are integrated into our favorite IDE.
