Join this talk to learn about the current status of the Eclipse IDE Open Source projects. We'll talk about new developments, our improvements in the development process, performance improvements, and new features in the Eclipse IDE.

In this talk, we'll demo the new features of the Eclipse IDE and show the improvements of the latest, best, and fastest Eclipse IDE ever.

A quick introduction to the room, the sessions, and the team that put everything together. :-)

The Eclipse Photon simultaneous release was the last “big” annual release, and with Eclipse 2018-09 the first rolling release has been shipped to the public. Its heart, the Eclipse Platform, has come with a plethora of new features and improvements for Eclipse Photon and afterwards that will continue the Eclipse IDE keeping the #1 flexible, scalable and most performing IDE!

Come and see the incredible achievements the platform team and its growing number of contributors made to bring you the best Eclipse IDE ever!

This session will give a guided tour through the new features and changes in Eclipse Photon and Eclipse IDE 2018-09. Although especially JDT has been moved on quite much with support of new Java versions, this talk will focus on the other features of the Eclipse Platform and leaving JDT details to a separate talk at ECE. You will see usability improvements, code mining for enhancing the text editor information, useful new API for platform developers and neat features for users. Besides visible changes, the platform project team has paid special attention on stability, performance and resource consumption tuning. In this talk, we will give some insights how the team has worked on that.

Welcome to the Free Tools and Editors devroom!

This talk will cover the latest development and organizational news of the free and Open Source Eclipse IDE. You will learn for example what we are doing to improve Java tool performance by a factor by 1000 and why we think developing support for a new programming will be much easier with the new release.

I also cover how people can contribute to the project.

The Eclipse IDE a open project developed by a divers group of developers. In this talk the Eclipse IDE project is presented. Which tools are we using? Which developments are we doing, etc? How are we executing our texts and how can you hack on Eclipse and contribute it back to the project.

The audience will learn about the project, what we are doing and how to contribute.
