Tamar,
Thank you for the gentle nudge and the ideas for the bootcamp. I think as a starting point we need to agree on a target audience. My worry is that a bootcamp that included android, _javascript_ and python development might be too diverse.
My suggestion is that we target someone new to Eclipse who is doing Java development. The focus is on making them productive with the tools. I would imagine potential topics might include (in no specific order):
- Debugging
- Building with Maven
- Plugin development
- Tips and tricks for using JDT
- Git integration
- ????
Hopefully other people have some ideas??
For the RCP app development, I would suggest that is a tutorial proposal and not make it part of the boot camp.
I hope this helps.
Ian

Hey all --
I noticed nobody has added to my tab in the spreadsheet -- below is what I have scribbled.
Can we discuss on the email thread or can people take a moment to contribute feedback / ideas to the tab in the google doc?
Office Hours | a room with tables (labeled) of experts in various areas. This could be towards the end of the boot camp day, or it could be separate. Tables could include: RCP, Java, Python, _javascript_, Android, IoT, EMF; tables could mirror lunch tables? |
| |
RCP development | a boot camp to start from scratch and end with an RCP app? Maybe make a new example one and contribute it to public wiki / tutorials? |
Java debugging | Audience should already know how to code in Java, focus could be on best practices with debugging. |
Python development | Show how to configure Pydev, how to debug local python scripts / applications and how to connect to remote environments for debugging. |
_javascript_ development | |
Android development | |
Continuous integration / infrastructure | discussion of CI and tools to support it |
