Hendy Irawan's List: Eclipse Platform

"Libra is an open source project under the Eclipse Web Tools Platform Container Project. It provides standard tools for OSGi Enterprise application development and in particular tools that integrate the existing WTP and PDE tooling so that OSGi Enterprise applications can be developed with both tooling at the same time. Libra also will enable users to work with tools for better experience in the Server-Side Equinox scenario.

The goals of the project are:

Providing tools for creation of deployable artifacts for application servers implementing the OSGi Enterprise specification, e.g. wizard for creating new Web Application Bundle projects.
Providing tools for converting existing Java EE deployable artifacts to OSGi Enterprise deployable artifacts, e.g. wizard for converting Dynamic Web projects to a Web Application Bundle projects.
Contributing tools for editing and validation of the metadata of OSGi Enterprise artifacts, e.g. extension of the PDE Manifest Editor for editing manifest headers that are specific to Web Application Bundles.
Developing OSGi server adapter, providing basic implementation of configuring an OSGi-based application server, starting it and deploying OSGi enterprise artifacts. This server adapter should be customizable and extensible by adopters.
Delivering tools that improve the experience of developing Server-Side Equinox applications.
Extending the tools in scope, so adopters can apply them depending on their own application model."

"This tutorial gives an overview about the Eclipse 4 application platform.

This tutorial describes the creation of Eclipse 4 based applications, e.g. Eclipse RCP applications. It describes the modeled application concept and the new programming model which is based on annotations and dependency injection. "

"Eclipse Plug-in for tailing log files and eclipse consoles (e.g. SVN, Java Stack Trace, CDT), including syntax coloring with either a regular expression or a word match. It allows you to have multiple logs open concurrently. "

The Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) provides technology to create rich graphical editors and views for the Eclipse Workbench UI. It bundles three components:

Draw2d (org.eclipse.draw2d) - A layout and rendering toolkit for displaying graphics on an SWT Canvas.
GEF (MVC) (org.eclipse.gef) - An interactive model-view-controler (MVC) framework, which fosters the implementation of SWT-based tree and Draw2d-based graphical editors for the Eclipse Workbench UI.
Zest (org.eclipse.zest) - A visualization toolkit based on Draw2d, which enables implementation of graphical views for the Eclipse Workbench UI.

Draw2d is a layout and rendering toolkit building on top of SWT. It may be used standalone (outside of Eclipse) or in combination with the GEF or Zest component.

An Eclipse plug-in that provides a Java API for Graphviz and allows easily visualizing the graphical output.

Graphiti is an Eclipse-based graphics framework that enables rapid development of state-of-the-art diagram editors for domain models. Graphiti can use EMF-based domain models very easily but can deal with any Java-based objects on the domain side as well.

Eclipse plugin for the Apache SVG framework 'Batik'. The plugin adds editors, views and wizards to deal with scaleable vector graphics.

SVG Salamander is an SVG engine for Java that's designed to be small, fast, and allow programmers to use it with a minimum of fuss. It's in particular targeted for making it easy to integrate SVG into Java games and making it much easier for artists to design 2D game content - from rich interactive menus to charts and graphcs to complex animations.

One of the major tasks of adding a new language to an Eclipse-based IDE is debugging support. A debugger needs to start and stop the program being debugged, suspend and resume, single-step, manage breakpoints and watch points, and so on. This article explains the Eclipse Platform debug framework and steps through a simple, yet illustrative, example of adding debug support for a new language. "

"Eclipse Lyo project focuses on providing an SDK to help the Eclipse community to adopt OSLC (Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration) specifications and build OSLC-compliant tools."
