Why the Eclipse Way Works So Well
,----[ Quote ]
| Many enterprise development teams often
| struggle with releasing software projects
| on time. That doesn't seem to be the case
| with the multi-vendor open source Eclipse
| Foundation, which for the last seven years
| has consistently shipped releases from
| multiple projects on time.
|
| This week, Eclipse Helios shipped with 39
| projects in what is known as the Eclipse
| release train. How does Eclipse manage to
| organize so many projects and year-after-
| year hit their release targets? What's the
| secret?

Application Development: 25 Best and Brightest Eclipse Development Projects
,----[ Quote ]
| With the recent release (June 23) of the
| Eclipse Foundation's 39-project Helios
| release train, eWEEK has decided to take a
| look at what many in the Eclipse community
| view as some of the top projects coming
| out of the organization. Eclipse is an
| open-source community, whose projects are
| focused on building an open development
| platform comprised of extensible
| frameworks, tools and runtimes for
| building, deploying and managing software
| across the lifecycle. Eclipse started as a
| Java IDE, but has since grown to be much,
| much more.

Does the world need another programming language?

| What were the motivations for creating Go?
|
| Rob Pike
|
| Rob Pike: A couple of years ago,
| several of us at Google became a little
| frustrated with the software
| development process, and particularly
| using C++ to write large server
| software. We found that the binaries
| tended to be much too big. They took
| too long to compile. And the language
| itself, which is pretty much the main
| system software language in the world
| right now, is a very old language. A
| lot of the ideas and changes in
| hardware that have come about in the
| last couple of decades haven't had a
| chance to influence C++. So we sat down
| with a clean sheet of paper and tried
| to design a language that would solve
| the problems that we have: we need to
| build software quickly, have it run
| well on modern multi-core hardware and
| in a network environment, and be a
| pleasure to use.

Take more note when Eclipse code drops on schedule
,----[ Quote ]
| Five years into my tenure on this beat and
| I still read, in comments, snark about open
| source programmers being amateurs, coding
| in their parentsâ basements, in their
| pajamas.
|
| This was always a false image. Not that I
| have anything against a good parentâs
| basement, or a nice comfortable pair of
| jammies. And when open source was being
| born, at the bottom of the dot-bomb, there
| was high unemployment in the code-o-sphere.
|
| But the coders and the coding were always
| professional. There have always been a lot
| of people in open source who knew how to
| make the coding train run on time.

| committer community", noting that,"Besides
| the feat of coordinating such a large
| development effort, Helios introduces
| important innovations".

Eclipse Community Survey: Good News, Bad News
,----[ Quote ]
| That's really significant, because for many free
| software applications, historically people have
| tended to develop on Windows, and then deploy on
| GNU/Linux. If the developers are moving to
| GNU/Linux on the desktop â as this survey suggests
| - maybe the tide is beginning to turn there, at
| least among that particular community (well, it's a
| start...).

Eclipse users developing on Linux, considering cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| The primary takeaway from the results is the shift
| in how engineers are choosing to develop and
| deploy. Linux, especially Ubuntu, has taken market
| share from Windows on an ongoing basis, and is now
| used by just shy of one third of respondents as
| their developer desktop, up from 20 percent in
| 2007.
