WWDC session on Eclipse

This page describes what you should have to join in the Hands-on Demos Friday June 10, 2005 in the WWDC session on Eclipse.

Download Eclipse

The demos will require Eclipse. You should have a recent build installed. RC1 or later is recommended. M7 is fine. You can download this from:

http://eclipse.org/downloads/index.php

The Mac RC1 tar is at http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.1RC1-200505271300/download.php?dropFile=eclipse-SDK-3.1RC1-macosx-carbon.tar.gz

Xcode Swing template

The code we will be using for the hands-on part is the Swing template for Xcode. This was chosen so that everyone at this conference would have access to some existing code that could be used for refactoring.

Start up Xcode 2 choose File -> New Project. Select "Java Swing Application". Give it a name like "WWDC" and save it someplace that you can navigate to during the demo to import this code into eclipse

Working code

I'll also use a snippet of code from a demo I did of Conway's Game of Life. You don't really need anything for this. I've taken the example from a tutorial I wrote for "Extreme Software Engineering - a hands-on approach". If I were less scrupulous I would recommend you buy several copies to get through this session.
