3 Lars Vogel Eclipse PMC member Platform UI and e4 Project Lead vogella GmbH CEO, which supports customer Eclipse RCP and Android implementations and trainings

4 I hope Eclipse gets even better in 4.6 so that I do not have to use another IDE

5 What is the Eclipse (top-level) project? Everything else in the IDE Eclipse (platform) project

6 s Hi y r to

7 Eclipse 4.2 Once upon a time

8 New committers and contributors Committers Alexander Kurtakov Redhat Mickael Istria Redhat Sergey Prigogin Google Stefan Xenos Google Simon Scholz vogella GmbH Tony McCrary independent Jonas Helmig EclipseSource Dirk Fauth Bosch Andrey Loskutov independent Contributors git shortlog -s --pretty=format:"%an" --since "1 year ago" wc -l 87 contributors in the last year

9 Eclipse Platform UI

10 Total platform work including release enginering

11 Microsoft joined Eclipse yesterday

12 Java 8 support Improve default styling (colors) QuickAccess can be hidden Less whitespace usage Major improvements in CSS New icon set DnD color Eclipse 4.4 Removed annoying splash screen message Dark theme Line numbers Toolbar can be hidden PerspectiveSwitcher can be hidden New Splashscreen and logo UI Installation performance much better Performance

13 Better GTK3 support Customize perspective dialogs works again Closing projects removes the "dead" editors More new icons Hierarchical project view in Project Explorer Eclipse 4.5 Closes tabs to the right / left IDE supports e4 views New Splashscreen and logo Even better dark theme Faster code completion in JDT Better performance with parallel jobs and interactive UI freeze monitor

14 A big code clean Simplified API Remove dead internal code Remove Eclipse 2.0 compatibility layer Use annotations in code Update of all plug-ins to relevant Java Versions (Java 7 or Java 8) Usage of Java 8 lambdas Update of the tests (partial to Junit 4)

15 How does a code cleanup help?

16 Java Versions for Neon SWT Platform Java 7 Java 8

17 Stuff we do in Eclipse 4.6 (Neon)

18 Faster Eclipse Remove unnecessary activators ImageDescriptors avoid to hit the file system Solving memory leaks Avoiding object creation New split() method on Submonitor class Less deadlock possiblities

19

20 Faster Eclipse without Styling

21 Faster Eclipse Asynchronize layout calls like in Android

22 User feature

23 Shortcuts for text editor font size Available for Mars via the saneclipse plug-in: saneclipse.vogella.com

24 Word-Wrap in text editors supported Most voted feature request these days

25 Saving some time Usability is Important!

26 Full screen mode and ability to hide the toolbar Available for Mars via the saneclipse plug-in: saneclipse.vogella.com

27 Platform API Enhancements Varargs usage Simpler API for simple things Data binding enhancements New Example Code

28 Unknown text files handling

29 PDE support for OSGi declarative services 1.2

30 Subwords completion and code highlighting in JDT Google summer of code project from Gábor Kövesdán coached by Noopur Gupta and Lars Vogel

31 Templates Default values for ${word_selection} New E4 Templates Custom Date format

32 Better DnD feedback for views and editors

33 Provide a smart import wizard

34 SWT Make GTK3 as good as GTK2 Better styling support (for the dark theme) HDPI support

35 Running the Eclipse IDE / RCP in the browser via Linux Wayland

36 More stuff in the pipeline Filtered ProjectExplorer and Outline More usage of plain e4 API in the IDE Postfix completion in JDT Outline that shows Annotations

37 Cool things out side platform Redhat is working on great JavaScript support for Eclipse Gradleware is working on great Eclipse Gradle support Redhat provides kickass Eclipse Docker support Eclipse Git tooling is faster than ever Google is reworking the Java Tooling for maximized performance

38 But feature X is still missing in Eclipse

39 Image an IDE which you can enhance yourself

40 I want to help and contribute!

41 Delete outdated examples Deprecated outdated API Remove deprected API usage Removed unused internal methods Fresh Java 8 API Delete unnecessary whitespace Simplified API Convert platform tests to Junit 4 Making our tests run in the Gerrit build validation I want to help and contribute!

42 Contribution process is sooo easy Create Eclipse user and sign CLA Clone Repo via Gerrit (Disable or configure API baseline) Write a fix and push it

43 Contributing to the Eclipse IDE, Second Edition Available as free download and paper book
