My Talks at Eclipse Forum Europe 2009

Eclipse Forum Europe 2009

At the Eclipse Forum Europe 2009 next week in Mainz, I will give three presentations. On the conferece site I'm the third guy from the left :-) Here are the presentations:

Eclipse Testing: Best Practices with SWTBot

Frank Gerhardt, Zeljko Markovic
Dienstag 15:15 - 16:15

SWTBot is a functional test tool for applications based on SWT and Eclipse RCP. It became an Eclipse project recently (eclipse.org/swtbot). In this session we show several demos and highlight tips and tricks for GUI tests that (1) emphasize intent rather than mechanics, (2) are well-structured (patterns) and (3) extend SWTBot to support custom widgets.

RCP Mail 2.0: Commands, Common Navigator, and Data Binding

Frank Gerhardt, Michael Scharf, Kai Tödter
Dienstag 16:45-17:45

The RCP Mail example shows its age. Many new and useful features have been added to the Eclipse Platform since the example was written, and it is time to take the example to new levels. We will show (1) how to use the new Commands API to contribute to menus, toolbars, and context menus and (2) how to use the Common Navigator to show tree-shaped data structures. (3) Finally we show you how to use the data binding framework.

Developing Dynamic Web Applications Using Equinox

Gunnar Wagenknecht, Jochen Hiller, Frank Gerhardt
Donnerstag 8:30-9:45 (Teil 1) und 10:15-11:15 (Teil 2)

Server-side Equinox is the latest effort to use the Eclipse architecture and the OSGi platform to develop modular web applications. This first part of the two sessions introduces the technology, concepts and tools needed to develop Eclipse-based web applications. These sessions target developers and architects who want to develop a better understanding of what’s required to build Eclipse-based web applications. They should be familiar with OSGi bundles and services, the extension registry as well as standard JavaEE web applications.
