How software lifecycle tools are changing

Eclipse and open source in general has changed the way organizations select their software lifecycle tools. Projects like Mylyn make it easier to integrate lifecycle tools from different sources. In this version of the newsletter we highlight some of these trends and look at how Mylyn can be used with tools like Git, Gerrit and Hudson.

Join us for EclipseCon Europe next month, October 29-31 in Ludwigsburg, Germany. There is a great agenda of talks covering all aspects of Eclipse.

Last month, we conducted a survey to find out what you think about the Eclipse Newsletter and what you'd like to read about in the upcoming issues. We discovered that 93.5% of you are somewhat satisfied or satisfied with the newsletter and received great theme suggestions that we will use for upcoming issues. Thank you to everyone who responded and congratulations to the five participants that won an Eclipse Hoodie!

Doug Schaefer

BlackBerry/QNX


What do you do?
I am one of the architects on the Eclipse-based Momentics IDE for the BlackBerry 10 Native Development Kit. I am also the long serving lead of the C/C++ Development Tooling (CDT) project, am on the Eclipse Tools Project Management Committee and a member of both the Eclipse Architecture and Planning Councils. I've always loved making tools that help software developers build great software and Eclipse is such a great platform with which to do that.

How long have you been using Eclipse?
I've been using Eclipse since it was a young pup back in 2001. Shortly after that I started working on the CDT.

Name five plugins you use and recommend:

What's your favorite thing to do when you're not working?
As you can see from my picture, I love playing guitar, and not just campfire songs, but not much more than just hacking around. I'm slowly learning how to play drums, and am getting into creating electronic music. Check me out on SoundCloud: where I go by the handle dasSonic.
