Description

You may already think about developing Java application using Eclipse as an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), but Eclipse is far beyond an IDE now. It can be used as a set of tool for enterprise development, embedded and device development, application frameworks, as well as a multi-language IDE. The Eclipse community is constantly working on high level projects that extend Eclipse's functionality.

This technical briefing will take a deep dive into some of the most important and feature rich projects that the Eclipse community is developing. Starting with multi-language support to plug-in development, from testing tools to team collaborative development, learn about the latest projects and what you can do with them.

Virtual briefings

Virtual briefings are presented online using Saba Centra. These sessions replicate a typical classroom with a complete set of features for highly interactive, effective group learning - bringing together voice, video, data and graphics in a structured online learning environment. Sessions are instructor-led and provide an opportunity for you to ask questions. Each event is divided into two separate sessions lasting approximately 2 hours in length. All you need is a Web browser to attend.

You can replay these 2 sessions after 31 March.

• Session 1
• Session 2
