[eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Developer Track PC - suggeste

[Lawrence Mandel <lmandel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

(This post is meant for the developer
track program committee.)

Developer track program committee,

As it's very late and we need to have
12 selections made by Wednesday, I'd like to propose the following 12 long
talks. I tried to select talks that I thought many people would think are
interesting. Please reply with any comments/concerns. (I'm not set on this
list but thought we needed a starting point for this week's action of selecting
12 talks.)

Sri - If you're on board with Tim's
suggestion for dividing up the developer track I suggest we speak this
week about how to break up the work and the committee and put the process
into place next week.

Eclipse vs. Visual Studio - http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50
Unlike last year's VS talk, this one is not being given
by a presenter who does not work for MS or Eclipse. I think this looks
like a very interesting talk and the proposal has some solid comments on
it.

59
Testing Eclipse - http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59
This talk details how to test Eclipse plug-ins using JUnit,
Abbot, PDE macros, and TPTP. Testing is essential during development of
Eclipse plug-ins. I think this talk will be of interest to Eclipse committers
and those developing their own Eclipse plug-ins.

71
A Gentle Introduction to GEF - http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=71
This talk has been proposed by Koen Aers. We declined
Koen's tutorial on GEF in favour of Randy's and agreed to give his talk
precedence as we really should have him at the conference. Koen did a great
job of introducing GEF at EclipseWorld.

74
Build JavaServer Faces applications with the JSF Tools Pr... - http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=74
We declined a JSF tutorial because we weren't sure of
interest. The JSF talk at EclipseWorld was very well attended. (Extra chairs
had to be brought to the room because so many people were standing.) I
didn't object to the decision to decline the tutorial but I do think that
this talk will be very well attended.

84
Time Travel made possible with Eclipse (temporal debugging) - http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=84
This tutorial explains how to create a custom debugger
and focuses on debuggers for embedded applications. The debug framework
was refactored to support the requirements for embedded debugging and I
think this should be showcased at EclipseCon.

93
Your Action is My Command - http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=93
We declined a tutorial on the same topic
because we didn't feel there was enough content to fill 4 hours. I think
this topic is of interest to the Eclipse developer community and should
be represented in the program.

Managing APIs with Eclipse API Scanner - http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=148
APIs are essential to the success of the Eclipse platform
and to the success of Eclipse sub projects. Jeff implemented an API scanner
that both checks your project's API usage and API definitions. The scanner
is in use in WTP's build and will be very useful to other Eclipse projects
and Eclipse based projects.

173
XML Binding with the Eclipse Modeling Framework - http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=173
This tutorial will cover the frequently required XML ->
Java binding showing how to accomplish the talk with EMF. Ed Merks, a great
presenter, will lead this talk.

195
NASA Mission Operations with the Rich Client Platform - http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195
Read the abstract and the comments on the submission.
This talk sounds to me like it will be great.

234
Extending Eclipse WTP to Build Commercial Development Pro... - http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=234
I think this talk is just right for the developer track.
This talk showcases building a commercial product on top of Eclipse and
WTP.

260
Common Navigator Framework for Platform/UI in 3.2 - http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=260
This talk covers the common navigator framework, a powerful
new framework that will be part of the Eclipse platform in 3.2.

279
10 Tough Decisions You Must Make When Developing An Eclip... - http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=279
This talk covers the decisions to be made when building
an embedded IDE on Eclipse. Embedded is a hot topic with Eclipse these
days and the abstract of this talk looks very interesting.
