We’ve had it with sluggish software development – time for a boost
Mar 24th
We love Eclipse – both as a IDE and as a platform to base software products upon. This project is based upon the RCP platform, to build applications upon.
What we like in particular:
- SWT gives a responsive UI, and JFace leverages it even further.
- No need to provide boiler-plate code for handling selections, help content, menus etc.
- Eclipse is open source.
What we dislike:
- No lightweight event system, to leverage your POJO-based Java model.
- No transaction system to provide lightweight transaction support for simple method interaction with POJO-based Java models.
- No lightweight approach to handling Undo/Redo operations.
- No super-high-level abstractions for creating simple UI constructs.
Where do we fit in:
Basicly…. we provide (or at least attempt to provide) the bits we consider missing in the Eclipse RCP Platform. Oh, and we provide it free of charge – giving you an opportunity to lend us a hand if you’re up to it.
Who are you guys?
We’re Java software developers working in the field of Eclipse RCP developing, with 6+ years of experience in the Eclipse/RCP fields and 10+ years of experience in Java development.
Catch you around the web.
Best regards, Mikkel & Anders
