Hallo ihr Lieben, da wir ein kleines bisschen schreibfaul sind, wenn es um Postkarten geht, haben wir beschlossen Blogposts für unseren Urlaub einzurichten. Da schreiben wir dann hin und wieder wie es uns so geht und was wir erleben und stellen dazu noch ein paar Bilder ins Netz, um all die armen arbeitenden Menschen etwas [...]
In case you want to make sure your code is interoperable between different OSGi frameworks, you will be interested in bug #319089. It is about enhancing the JUnit Plug-in Launch config to support more than just Equinox as an OSGi framework. Unfortunately the PDE team has deemed non-Equinox frameworks not important enough to justify the [...]
In a recent blog post by Wim, he asked how the Eclipse Foundation (EF) can help solve the tragedy of the commons problem and bug #313479 follows up on this direction by requesting the EF to support individual projects do fund-raising (think Friends of Eclipse at the project level). The committer representatives have shown their [...]
When upgrading a JDK, install custom CAs by running “keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias OSU -file /path/to/ca.crt -keystore ${jre.home}/lib/security/cacerts”. Default password is “changeit”
Monday, 30 Nov 2009 16:22:43 +0100 For a number of reasons, I’ve recently set up a new OpenPGP key, and will be transitioning away from my old one. The old key will continue to be valid for some time, but i prefer all future correspondence to come to the new one. I would also like [...]
Following up on our presentations given at EclipseCon earlier this year [1][2], I will do a talk on ECF’s implementation of distributed OSGi/RFC119 later today at the local Galileo DemoCamp here in Hamburg. Make sure to show up in case you are in the area. Not just to hear about RFC119, but also to attend [...]
Git appears to gain a lot momentum as the DVCS for Eclipse recently. Even our benevolent dictator Mike M. deemed it important enough to comment on _the_ Git bug. ;-) While I am a strong supporter of Git myself (mostly because I lack experience with Mercurial, bzr, Darcs), we should take a second before we [...]
Many of us have probably written their PDE build around the famous build automation article. With Galiloe’s must do to provide p2 metadata, many projects are forced to update their build now. We at ECF want to stick to our classic update site and keep build changes minimal though. So here’s how we’ve done our [...]
Yesterday the GSoC team gave the green light to Google summer of code 2009. Yay :-) In case you don’t know what GSoC is all about, you should read the program faq or join us in #eclipse-soc at irc.freenode.net. To the rest of us, lets not waste time but start to collect ideas and approach [...]
With a bunch of breaking API changes ahead of me and no intention to get into CVS merge hell (using my own branch for the changes), I decided to give git a test spin. Others have blogged about it already and it appears as if the foundation is looking into the issue already but have [...]
