Workshop description

The Eclipse platform (http://www.eclipse.org) is designed for building integrated development environments (IDEs) for object-oriented application development. The eclipse Technology eXchange workshop presents original papers that describe the use of the Eclipse code base for teaching or research projects, or for projects that actively promote the growth of Eclipse user communities. The workshop itself is held on March 30. Prior to the workshop there is a poster session (see below for information on presenting a poster). There is a reception for informal discussion of Eclipse on April 1, 2004 at the Museu Maritim, starting at 8:00pm. Click here for further details

Keynote speaker: Erich Gamma

Erich Gamma is the site lead of the IBM OTI Labs in Zurich. He leads the Eclipse Java Development tools project and is a member of the Eclipse and the Eclipse Tools project management committees. He is also a member of the Gang of Four, which is known for their book: Design Patterns - Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software. Erich has paired with Kent Beck to develop JUnit. Erich also paired with Kent Beck to write the book Contributing to Eclipse: Principles, Patterns, and Plug-ins.

At the workshop, Erich Gamma will speak about Eclipse and its Corona - Inside a Large Scale Open Source Project: Eclipse is now well known as an open source project dedicated to providing a platform for developing integrated tools. But, how is Eclipse itself developed? How agile is it? What are our proven practices to achieve quality and just-in-time delivery? What about the Eclipse community? This talk attempts to answer these questions and sheds light inside the Eclipse development process.

Poster session

All interested parties are invited to present and participate in a 1 hour pre-workshop poster session at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 30. We hope this session will encourage further interaction and discussion during the workshop which starts at 10:00 a.m. Please check conference information for workshop room location.

Proceedings

Proceedings will be published in ENTCS.
