I attended first eclipse demo camp in downtown Vancouver. Great experience, friendly and open people including presenters and organizators. Everything went smoothly and in well organized manner. There are some highlights that actualy woke me up (in order of my personal interest): - TasktopTasktop - Bright example of how much power Mylyn brought to eclipse. Very ambitious project that could be one day my personal manager. Integration of web browser and file manager and lots of stuff around made good impression on me. I personaly still can't imagine to give up firefox and Krusader file manager, but who knows :>. Make sure you don't miss that one. - Embedded CALEmbedded CAL - Embedded functional language inside java source code? That's not bad idea at all. Check out their web site and you will be surprised how far did they push it! - FishtaiFishtaill - Sure, guys from UBC are not sleeping at all. Eclipse plugin that is expert in finding "how-to" type of information about source code stuff. Nice - Nomad PIMNomad PIM - Eclipse RCP based personal information manager. From website of author: "It allows you to keep track of your personal data and currently provides modules for notes, schedule, contacts, money, diary and timetracking." Seems very promising too. I like it. Here you can find official page of this demo camp with details: wiki.eclipse.org/Vancouver_DemoCampwiki.eclipse.org/Vancouver_DemoCamp There was also a social event after presentation which was very nice and there was a lot of room for discussion about anything between people from various industries and professions. Any comments about my spelling are welcome :>
