Equinox - Trends in Eclipse as a Runtime

Jeff McAffer, IBM Rational
Abstract:
Eclipse started as a tooling platform. A few years ago Eclipse as a "Rich Client Platform" broke Eclipse out of the tooling box. Today, the Equinox project is forging new ground for Eclipse as a runtime. What's driving the revolution? Equinox's robust, modular, OSGi-based runtime? The realization that Eclipse can do for the server what it did for the client? The sophisticated module tooling provided by the Plug-in Development Environment? The promise of sophisiticated provisioning in the form of p2? A synergistic mix of all the above? This talk explores where we are today with Equinox, where we are going, how we are going to get there and who is coming with us.
Bio:
Jeff McAffer leads the Eclipse Equinox OSGi, RCP and Orbit teams and is a Senior Technical Staff Member with IBM Rational. He is one of the architects of the Eclipse Platform and a co-author of The Eclipse Rich Client Platform (Addison-Wesley). He is a member of the Eclipse Project PMC, the Tools project PMC, the Eclipse Architecture Council and the Eclipse Foundation Board of Directors. Jeff is currently interested all aspects of Eclipse componentry from developing and building bundles to deploying, installing and ultimately running them. Previous lives included work in distributed/parallel OO computing (Server Smalltalk, massively parallel Smalltalk, etc) as well as expert systems, meta-level architectures and a PhD at the University of Tokyo.
