With Kepler M6, we've added egit and Marketplace Client to the Eclipse Classic package, which is still the most popular of all Eclipse packages. The request adding git to all packages has been open for long, and after driving it with the Eclipse PMC Markus Knauer has helped me make it happen.
You'll get the "New Classic" from the Development Packages Download location, since we're using the Eclipse Packaging Project infrastructure for adding the new components without dependency headaches.
The branding of the new package is not quite like the original Eclipse Classic SDK yet (in fact. the customizations from the org.eclipse.sdk bundle, particularly the Capabilities Preference Page, are missing). If you need those, get the original SDK from the Eclipse project download pages instead.
File a bug against epp/classic if you find any issues with the new package. The history of the new package is on bug 397896 .

EclipseCon 2013: TCF, ARM Debugging and Raspberry Pi
The TCF Agent is Running on Raspberry Pi ! Having ARM Debug support available under EDL / BSD License in Open Source is a great move forward for our TCF project; especially as the Pi is such a cool and neat device!
Mark your EclipseCon calendars if you want to see it:
The initial ARM debug contribution came particularly timely, since it allows us to join the Raspberry Pi Hackathon Monday night at EclipseCon with the Eclipse TCF Project :) Come join us as at the Hackathon, as we try getting single-stepping to work and test the debugger against various use-cases! I'll be particularly keen to look at M2M scenarios, Lua integration for scripting, and getting the out-of-box experience really nice... I've written up quick 15-minute instructions if you want to get TCF on your Pi as well.
Right now the TCF Debugger supports auto-discovery of the Pi (very
nice for headless devices!), attaching processes, basic run-control and
breakpoints; sufficient for basic debugging, but we'll want a rock solid, excellent debugger for C and C++.
The initial ARM patch was provided by individual contributor Stanislav Yakovlev, who said:
With ARM debug support available in Open Source, I expect a lot uptake of TCF this year. In fact, Wind River and Xilinx are shipping first products that strongly build on Open Source TCF; right now I'm updating the TCF Homepage to talk more about these announcements. Check back in a couple days, or if you're at EclipseCon join us for the TCF BoF session on Wednesday at 7, and I'll be happy to give some demos and talk about where TCF is going.
Mark your EclipseCon calendars if you want to see it:
- Monay at 7pm at the Raspbery Pi and Eclipse Hackathon
- Wednesday at 7pm at the TCF BoF session

I was interested in working on a GCC toolchain, but due to complicated legal rules of GNU Foundation, it was almost impossible to get any patches in. I started working on the ARM TCF debug after ELC Europe in Barcelona last year.

Scripting Eclipse
As many of you may know, I've started a new initiative to get scripting support back home to Eclipse.org and unify the fragmented landscape a bit.
Our BoF session at EclipseCon 2012 was pretty well attended. Have a look at our new homepage and eclipse-scripting-dev mailing list if you are interested !

Eclipse Scripting BoF
Interested in making it easy to customize Eclipse, adding simple menus or buttons for repetitive tasks without having to code any Java ?
Ever wondered what happened to Scripting initiatives such as Eclipse Monkey, Groovy Monkey, Eclipse Command Shell and others ?
Wondering why Eclipse just doesn't provide editor macros?
Join us for a BoF on Eclipse Scripting here at EclipseCon 2012 - Wed 7.30pm at Regency Ballroom B.
We'll want to collect what approaches to scripting currently exist, why none of them didn't really gain traction so far and what we could possibly do to align and unify.

Graphical Skills for BugDay requested
I just marked bug 238574 for BugDay (July 25 this month) -- but it's a kind of untypical bug: It's asking for a cool Photoshopped screenshot of RSE to make our website look more sexy.
The bug has been open for a while now, and it looks like we don't have any committers with sufficient skills in image processing software to address it. So, any help from the Community is appreciated! We can offer a prominent place on the TM Website for your works.
All details, examples of what we'd like to see as well as some source material (existing screenshot) are on the bug. First come, first serve -- although we can also make a contest in case multiple proposals are attached...

BugDay is today
Once again it's the last Friday of the month, so it's Eclipse BugDay time! Come take a little time helping us committers bring down our vast backlogs of small but annoying, supposedly easy-to-fix issues.
Developers like us from the Target Management project have marked such bugs with a "bugday" keyword, prepared FAQ and Contributor Reference, and will be hanging out on IRC channel #eclipse-bugs to get in touch with you personally in case any questions come up. For more info, see the BugDay FAQ.
We still take contributions for Ganymede, want to join the Hall of Fame? See you on IRC!

PDE Goodies: Fix configuration problems
Ever thought you had some plugin installed, but couldn't find it working in Eclipse? - Here is a really nice solution that I found today:

I'm not sure since when this functionality is available (I was running 3.4RC2), but a big THANKS goes to the PDE team for this (and I assume that Chris Recoskie will be especially happy about this).

- Window > Show View > PDE Runtime > Plug-in Registry
- Filter to show the Plug-in(s) in question
- Right-click > Show Advanced Operations
- Choose "Diagnose"

Calling All Users!
We've got a request on the DSDP PMC to help a university grad student with an open source adoption study. We need to conduct a quick survey of DSDP projects used in commercial products. Are you adopting any of the DSDP projects commercially? Please let us know with a quick E-Mail to dsdp.survey@gmail.com . Your answer will be kept confidential, only statistics will be published. Please include your commercial product's name and version, and the DSDP project(s) you are adopting.
The goal of this is to identify those defects that are important to YOU early enough for our 3.0 release. Of course we can prioritize defects only right if YOU find and file them in time, in YOUR specific environment! Just investing 2 hours of your precious time will be well-invested in a TM release that works right for YOU.
The trick of making this testing "coordinated" is to avoid duplication. Since everybody can see what areas others are testing, you can focus on those areas that are specific for you or that matter to you! Please go ahead, and sign up on the TM 3.0RC2 coordinated testing Wiki by editing the page. Or, to make the signup even simpler for you, just send an E-Mail to martin.oberhuber (at) windriver (dot) com to let us know what host OS, JVM version and TM/RSE components you think you could test.
As a reminder, there are several projects in DSDP. Here is the full list:
- Device Debugging (DD)
- Embedded Rich Client Platform (eRCP)
- Mobile Tools for Java (MTJ)
- Native Application Builder (NAB)
- Real Time Software Components (RTSC)
- Target Management (TM)
- Tools for Mobile Linux (TmL)

HyacGsocpi:
HyacGsocpi = Here's Yet another cool Google summer of code project idea - looking at the very end of the Eclipse Google Summer of Code Ideas page:
Comparing, Merging and Synchronizing directory trees of remote servers between each other or with a local replica, all over standard Eclipse APIs with replacable connection schemes. The Remote System Explorer (RSE) provides the UI framework for transparent remote system access, and while it supports comparing individual remote and local files, it does not yet have support for comparing or synchronizing whole folder hierarchies.
Eclipse Platform Team/Synchronization provides the relevant APIs, and in fact these APIs have already been used for remote synchronization in the past (for the Platform Team/Extras feature that has been retired with Eclipse 3.3). RSE is the logical successor of this much wanted feature.
It's an interesting project, bringing you in touch with Eclipse, networking as well as potentially some interesting algorithms for comparing stuff with minimal data transfer. And solving the task will make you good friend with several people just waiting for Eclipse bug 185925 getting resolved by a smart guy like you!
If you're shooting for a GSoc Project and haven't got one yet, this one might be right for you! The deadline for GSOC applications is April 7, 5:00 PM PDT /00:00 UTC April 8, 2008. The FAQ for GSOC can be found here.

Target Communication Framework (TCF)
And now it's here - and much more! The Target Communication Framework (TCF) is not only an extendable agent, it's a whole protocol framework that has the potential to make target communications a lot easier. TCF is a new incubating component of the Eclipse Target Management Project, and its unique benefits include
- Transport-independent multiplexing of multiple services over a single protocol
- Ability to transparently add 3rd party value-adding services in the communication chain
- Auto-discovery and single setup of all target services.

As you can see, all communication links can share the same protocol, simplifying connection setup and allowing transparent tunnelling without unnecessary protocol conversions. In fact, any 3rd party vendor can contribute a value-add server to do transport conversion from a standard TCP/IP channel into custom channels such as JTAG or even proprietary hardware connections: all services can immediately route through the new transport and take immediate benefit of the value-add.
Besides Wind River and Eclipse, the Power.org association is also actively working on TCF as a potential emerging standard. If you work in the embedded space, consider joining the effort now to discuss your unique needs!
If you want to know more, join me at EclipseCon for the TM Tutorial on Monday at 1:30, the TM Short Talk on Thursday at 11:10 or the DSDP BOF on tuesday at 7:30pm - or simply drop us an E-mail or browse the TCF online documentation.

Just one more word about E4
There's been some hot discussions around the recent announcement of "E4", a new component as part of the Eclipse Platform Project to host code and infrastructure for prototyping ideas towards planning Eclipse 4.0.
I've been both excited and surprised - like others - about this announcement. Excited because some great people finally get together doing some real work for the future of the best Open Source Platform I know. Surprised because I had expected more visibility of those efforts in earlier stages. And despite an excellent background post by Ed Merks and a plead by zx to just have things coming and contribute, there's three "Why"s that I just can't push aside:
If you think that the Wind River guys are the bad guys just nagging, forgive our passion and probably misformed words. Give us a chance to get together - there's a lot of ideas and patches just waiting to get applied, and a strategy that just wants to drive innovation.

- Why all this secrecy? Why wasn't there more ideas and discussions on the corresponding bugzilla plan item? A lot of people made suggestions there or were listening to what ideas others might have.
- Why wasn't there a call for a workshop like the provisioning workshop last year? The P2 effort seems to run excellent, why not make a similar announcement again?
- Why is it mostly Wind River people challenging the process? Don't the other strategic Eclipse members care about innovation and the future of Eclipse as we do, or are we just too young and passionate?

TM 2.0.1: the Terminal can be too fast
In spite of all our testing, two critical regressions have been found in the TM 2.0.1 Terminal widget: Bug 205393 can cause a StackOverflowError (causing all of Eclipse to shut down), bug 205186 makes the terminal paint incorrectly on Mac OSX.
We're working on fixes with high urgency. For more info, see the Known Issues and Workarounds page on the Wiki. Enable "Watch" on it or the bugzilla's related to get informed about latest news.
For now, we need to recommend terminal users to NOT YET UPGRADE to 2.0.1 but stick with the 2.0 implementation.

TM 2.0.1: Can a Terminal be too fast?
The Eclipse DSDP Target Management project just released its 2.0.1 service release with Europa SR1.
This release includes more than 150 bug fixes for seamless editing of remote files over SSH, FTP or other protocols, which many users have learned to like particularly for editing remote web servers.
What's new is that non-ASCII Encodings for file and path names in foreign languages now work properly; the Eclipse Filesystem (EFS) provider got a lot more stable, especially over FTP; and, in my opinion the pearl of this release, the Terminal got lightning fast (up to 1000 times faster on Windows, thanks to Michael Scharf's new implementation).
Can a Terminal be too fast? - When working remotely on build.eclipse.org and I'm browsing a remote file, it now scrolls so fast that I'm almost not sure whether it scrolled or not. That's a little bit strange at first, but thanks to the big buffer I can still view everything that got displayed. Awesome, Michael!
For more information, read the build notes. To grab it, just use the Download Page or get it with Update Manager from the Europa Discovery Site.
For things beyond plain remote file editing, and particularly more embedded things, the TM project made plans at its recent Face-to-face meeting in Toronto. The vision is to be the Eclipse "Explorer of the Network Neighborhood", with pluggable information providers under a single, consistent UI and a lot auto-discovery going on. Want to learn more about what's coming up? - If you happen to be at Eclipse Summit Europe just 10 days from now, drop in at my talk: The DSDP Target Management Project, Wednesday at 2:30 pm; or, join Doug Gaff's Systems Engineering for Device Software Development Symposium on Tuesday (requires registration by E-Mail with Doug).

DSDP-TM / RSE 2.0.0.1 critical patch release
The Eclipse DSDP Target Management Project submitted a critical patch release of its Remote System Explorer (RSE) on Friday Jul 6. TM 2.0.0.1 fixes the following issues by changing 6 lines of Java code compared to TM 2.0 released with Eclipse Europa:
- bug 192741 - RSE: Moving a folder from within a ZIP Archive doesn't work if > 1 level deep: This bug is relevant when using the RSE archive handlers in order to manipulate ZIP archives on the Local or DStore hosts. The bug could lead to loss of data because moving files out of an archive would delete the files in the archive although they were not extracted properly before. This bug has been fixed.
- bug 194204 - RSE FTP: Renaming Files/Folders moves them sometimes: This bug is relevant when using RSE FTP in order to rename files on a remote FTP host. Because the current directory was not considered properly, renaming a file could move it to a different location, without checking what files are at the other location. If a file with the same name as the one being renamed already existed at the incorrect target location, that file could be overwritten without notice, leading to loss of data. This bug has been fixed.

Target Management: M6, EFS and a Webinar
The Eclipse Target Management Project just released its M6 Milestone (downloads | update site). Given that you have Eclipse 3.3M6 installed, it will also be available from the Europa Discovery Site shortly.
Top news besides lots of refactoring and API cleanup is that the RSE Eclipse Filesystem (EFS) integration has been promoted from "experimental" to "stable". It allows taking any remote file system available through RSE (like the ssh, ftp and dstore connections) and making it available as resources in the Eclipse Workspace. By sitting at the heart of the Eclipse Resource System, the full power of Eclipse - including source parsers, outline views, content assist and the like - comes to remote files as well.
Although quite a few EFS implementations have been around so far, Target Management / RSE is the first one that solves the problem of logging in to remote systems and keeping credentials in a usable UI. We'll continue working on the integration as described on plan item 170916 in order to iron out final issues and further improve performance.
EFS is a great concept of making the Eclipse Workspace more flexible, but components and plugins need to be aware that the resources they work on can now be remote as well. Work is going on through Platform Plan Item 154126, similar work items in CDT and other tools to improve their EFS integration. Up to now, however, this work has been hard tue to a lack of good EFS implementations. We hope that the new Target Management / RSE EFS implementation will help foster the adoption of EFS in the committer and plugin provider communities.
If you want to learn more about the Eclipse Target Management Project, your perfect choice of getting first-hand information about it is the upcoming Webinar hosted by the Eclipse Foundation on Thursday April 12 at 8am PDT / 11:00 am EDT / 3:00 pm UTC. In 45 minutes, you'll get an intro on the TM concepts and architecture, see an online demo, learn about upcoming plans, and get the chance to ask the TM project leads any questions you have.
Note added on 17-Apr-2007: The TM EFS Provider was fixed later in order to resolve issues running out of handles on SSH connections. These fixes were released as TM 2.0M6a. Users who already downloaded M6 can easily update out of Eclipse: Choose Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration, find the "Remote System Explorer" feature, choose Scan for Updates.

TM / RSE Usage Survey
Every product needs to know their users. Thus I'm conducting a survey of companies and products that plan to adopt Eclipse Target Management / RSE in the next year or use it already.
Both commercial products and in-house usage are interesting.
If I have not contacted you directly yet, and you do use or plan to use TM / RSE, please drop me a short E-Mail at
martin.oberhuber (at) windriver.com
I'd like to know your company name and a very rough outline of what you're doing (or planning to do) with TM / RSE. Knowing our users will certainly help our community, thus product quality and also help initiate the next release cycle's planning process, so it's also for your own benefit.
Thanks!
