Eclipse Evangelism

Welcome to the Eclipse Evangelism Page. Here you should find useful resources for all your evangelism needs. If there is something that you need but can't find, or if you need a speaker for one of your events, please contact evangelism@eclipse.org.

Eclipse Samples

These Samples are in the process of being moved to the Eclipse Examples Project.

Eclipse Sudoku

This sample demonstrates how you can use Eclipse RCP to build a Sudoku Game. The sample can be used as either a standalone RCP application, or can be added to an Eclipse workbench where it manifests as a view.

Image Viewer

This Eclipse feature adds a view to the workbench that displays an image (if possible) for the current workbench selection. The current implementation works for file selections, but can be extended (through an extension point) to display images for other types of selections.

Test First Development using Eclipse

Sep 11, 2008

This presentation talks about using the Eclipse JDT for test-first development. A screenCam demo accompanies the talk. The demo, variants of which are normally included as part of the presentation, steps through the construction of a simple Java class using a test-first development process. JUnit tests are built first and then used to drive the actual implementation of the code using Eclipse's code completion and quick fix features. This ScreenCam also demonstrates Eclipse's ability to compile and run code that contains compile errors.

What is Eclipse?

May 28, 2008

This short presentation steps the audience through an incremental discovery of Eclipse. Eclipse is probably best known as a Java IDE, but it is more: it is an IDE framework, a tools framework, an open source project, a community, an eco-system, and a foundation.
