Over the last few years, Eclipse has grown from a simple little IDE into a platform for developing software that can be used at many levels of complexity.
At OOPSLA 2002, IBM announced the first round of Eclipse Innovation Grants, which funded 49 academics and researchers to do explore the uses of Eclipse in their work. These projects expanded the base of the software platform, but it also created something just as valuable: personal experiences growing and using Eclipse for teaching and research.
Then, at OOPSLA 2003, the grant recipients presented their results in the first Eclipse Technology Exchange (ETX) workshop. This year, the organizers return to ooPSLA for the fifth workshop in the series. It will be held on Sunday, October 21, the first day of workshops and tutorials.
This year's workshop will focus on the use Eclipse as a platform in teaching and research. It provides academics and researchers an opportunity to share their results and to help others to build on these experiences.
In addition to experience reports, the fifth ETX offers an opening keynote address by Jeff McAffer, IBM Rational, titled "Equinox -- Trends in Eclipse as a Runtime". Jeff leads the Eclipse Equinox OSGi team in "forging new ground for Eclipse as a runtime", seeking to do for the server what Eclipse has already done to client-side tool development.
In this podcast, Martin Lippert of Software Engineering Radio chats with the organizers of the 2007 ETX organizers at ooPSLA -- Cheryl Morris (IBM Toronto), Alex Orso (Georgia Tech), Li-Te Chang (IBM Cambridge), and Martin Robillard (McGill University) -- to talk first about the history of the ETX workshops and poster sessions and then about some of the exciting elements of this year's workshop program.
