Re: [science-iwg] Eclipse as a platform for scientific applications
|
Hi Torkild,
the main reasons why I chose Eclipse as a platform for my scientific
application are:
* Its modularity - it enables to make a clear cut between different
concerns. Moreover, it enforces to think about a well designed
architecture of the software previously.
* Its extensibility - if I need a e.g. a GIT plug-in for my RCP, I just
can install from the marketplace and don't have to write it by my own.
Great!
* Its platform independence - it's marvelous that it runs under
different operating systems.
* Its native look - frankly, who really likes Swing? The first time I
saw a RCP/SWT app I didn't believed that it was Java :-) ... and people
like to have a native look, me too.
* It's Java - previously I've done a lot of VB6 and I seriously thought
about C#, but there are so many fantastic Java libraries for scientific
approaches (Apache Math, SWT-XY-Graph, SWT Chart, ...). Hence, it was
clear to take Java.
Cheers,
Philip

Hei all,
I've been asked to do a presentation for SINTEF about Eclipse as a platform for scientific applications. And while I'm quite familiar with the platform itself I'm curious about your reasons for choosing Eclipse for your projects. It would be great if you could help me out by giving me a short summary.
Best regards,
Torkild
