Eclipse Evangelism

Good day, and welcome to the Eclipse Evangelism Page. Here you should find useful resources for all your evangelism needs.

Eclipse RCP

Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) is a major focus of our evangelism efforts. We believe that it's a great platform for building applications of all kinds and we want to make sure that everybody knows about it.

While the Eclipse platform is designed to serve as an open tools platform, it is architected so that its components could be used to build just about any client application. The minimal set of plug-ins needed to build a rich client application is collectively known as the Rich Client Platform.

Eclipse Samples

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.

Got Mylyn?

Mylyn is a task-focused UI for Eclipse that reduces information overload and makes multi-tasking easy. It does this by making tasks a first class part of Eclipse, and integrating rich and offline editing for repositories such as Bugzilla, Trac, and JIRA.
