Eclipse Plug-In Development 101: The Fundamentals
presented by
Wassim Melhem
Program Manager for Embarcadero Technologies and Eclipse committer


Abstract: Eclipse is a platform that has been designed from the ground up for building integrated, extensible applications. This presentation takes an in-depth look at the plug-in, the fundamental building block of Eclipse. You will learn how to use the Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) to create, develop, test, debug and deploy an Eclipse plug-in. Attendees are expected to leave the tutorial with a good understanding of the Eclipse plug-in component model and the plug-in development lifecycle.

Wassim Melhem is a program manager for Embarcadero Technologies and an Eclipse committer. Prior to this, Wassim spent seven years at IBM where he led the Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) for four years (2003-2007). He spent the early part of his career sequencing DNA and implementing XML and Java code-generating tools for the MQSeries family of runtimes. Wassim holds a bachelor's degree in Mathematics with honors in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo. His Eclipse-related blog can be found at http://wassim-melhem.blogspot.com/.

Eclipse is an open source community, whose projects are focused on building an open development platform comprised of extensible frameworks, tools and runtimes for building, deploying and managing software across the lifecycle. A large and vibrant ecosystem of major technology vendors, innovative start-ups, universities, research institutions and individuals extend, complement and support the Eclipse platform.
