With the increasing complexity of projects, many users and teams rely on various kinds of analyses to check if their work (code, models, requirements, etc.) is correct. While various analyses are often performed as part of the CI/CD pipelines, many users would prefer to perform them before submitting (publishing) their work. Yet many analysis tools needs to be installed, configured, and started externally, which can be difficult for many users, especially when they are not proficient with the tools.

Linus’s law states “Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.” This is very true, however, if a problem is obscured, the more eyes won’t help until they can see through the blocker. This talk addresses tracing, how and when to use it, and how it can see through these issues. It is re-enforced with a real-world example of how tracing solved a performance issue in Trace Compass. We will discuss tracing, and how it plays in a world where profiling and debugging already exist.

This talk will show how a monolithic application is being migrated to a distributed application leveraging Eclipse Theia. We will review the migration steps and how to preserve investments made by maximizing the reuse of domain specific logic.

Theia is a platform for building IDEs and tools. Initially and quite naturally, it best supported textual editing for coding. However, now that Theia has matured and adoption is quickly growing, other use cases are gaining traction for Theia. One very important use case that was and is well supported with Eclipse RCP and EMF is building domain-specific modeling tools. These tools often show and edit structured data in trees, forms and diagrams and rely on model validation, analysis and simulation, model comparison and merging, code generation.

Safety standards like ISO 26262 requires "Confidence in the use of SW tools". But how this could be applied to your daily use of Tools and IDEs?
Within the talk we present the requirements from safety standards and explain what this means for Tool developers and Tool users. Tools need to be classified and if they are critical they need to be qualified in order to use them with confidence to avoid safety critical incidents caused by Tool failures.

Do you have diagrams in your Eclipse application? We have.
In DBeaver we show Entity-Relationship Diagrams for database schemas. It was one of the first big DBeaver features. We implemented it about 10 years ago. Our diagrams are based on Legacy GEF library. This year we have decided to upgrade our diagrams and... no, it is not easy.
We will talk about difficulties related to the diagrams visualisation in the modern Eclipse RCP:

Eclipse based applications use SWT as widget toolkit. SWT has built-in support for high resolution displays that also includes high resolution graphics.
This session explains
I will give tips and tricks I have collected during my endeavour to make the icons of the Eclipse project look nice on high resolution displays.

What is wrong with existing solutions?
Eclipse Passage offers open source OSGi-based alternative for license management solution that is "native" for Eclipse products and can be integrated with other ecosystems

Rust is “A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software“. Even on a microcontroller! Using tools like “cargo embed” and “probe-rs”, setting up a toolchain on your local machine, for developing and flashing firmware, is a matter of a few simple commands.
Can you take that to the cloud? Sure you can, Eclipse Che has you covered and supports Rust too. But, who attaches your STM32 developer board to the USB port of the AWS node you are running this on?
