At this time, Eclipse is not an independent entity and therefore cannot join any community organization. When Eclipse becomes an independent entity, it can then evaluate the option to join the JTC. Worth noting is that many of the same companies that are members of Eclipse are also members of the JTC. The JTC will welcome Eclipse as a member if it one day chooses to do so.

The Java Tools Community (JTC) is an open, jointly led community where tool vendors, customers and developers can come together to share information and provide input when creating and extending Java standards around toolability and tool interoperability via the Java Community Process (JCP).

The JTC was formed to address the lack of focus on the toolability and tool interoperability of Java Specification Requests (JSRs) submitted to the JCP. JSRs have traditionally focused on extending run-time characteristics of Java technology while concentrating less on design-time issues.

The quick answer is "everyone". The tool vendors benefit from an organization where they can work together to advance the Java Community standards around toolability and interoperability. Tool consumers will benefit from unified representation around ideas, use cases, thoughts and comments made to those JCP members who help build the standards and to tool vendors who build tools around those standards. Overall, the Java IDE ecosystem will benefit from this Forum-style organization.

Anyone. There are three types of Participation. The first is Advisors. Anyone can be an Advisor and contribute thoughts, ideas and comments on Java tools. The second type is a Member. Members must also members of the JCP. Finally, there are Core Members. Core Members are participants who help steer the JTC and contribute to its organizational infrastructure.

The JTC is made up of members from tool vendor companies as well as general consumers who are interested in promoting toolability and interoperability in the Java standards area. Vendors include BEA Systems, Compuware, Embarcadero Technologies, Iopsis Software, JetBrains, Oracle Corp., Quest, SAP, SAS and Sun Microsystems. Customers include US Sprint, Verizon and others.

The JTC is a complementary organization to the JCP where members and participants can work together to advance the Java Community standards in the areas of toolability and interoperability. The results of the JTC will be ne w Java Specification Requests (JSRs) submitted to the JCP in the area of toolability and interoperability. JTC members will also participate in non-tool related JSR expert groups in an effort to promote better access to the different technologies through development tools.

No. Consider it a "group of concerned citizens" committed to working together with the JCP, which is the recognized standards body.

Nobody knows. But everyone seems to have heard it at one time... If you listen to the very very end of "Eclipse," and turn your volume up very very high, you will very very faintly hear some music. This has been pointed out several times, but nobody has ever been able to pinpoint exactly what the song is. Some think it's a Beatles song, others, classical music. And why is it there? A studio trick? Or just sound bleeding through from another studio? Truth is, we'll probably never know.

The Eclipse Platform is an open extensible IDE for anything and yet nothing in particular. The Eclipse Platform provides building blocks and a foundation for constructing and running integrated software-development tools. The Eclipse Platform allows tool builders to independently develop tools that integrate with other people's tools so seamlessly you can't tell where one tool ends and another starts.

The Eclipse SDK (software developer kit) is the consolidation of the components produced by the three Eclipse Project subprojects (Platform, JDT - Java development tools, and PDE - Plug-in development environment) into a single download. Together these pieces provide a feature-rich development environment that allows the developer to efficiently create tools that integrate seamlessly into the Eclipse Platform.

Not at present. tkeclipse provides some of the features of an IDE, but a separate programming editor is recommended; for instance, emacs.

You can find commercial and open source plugins available at http://www.eclipse.org/community/plugins.html.

Download the latest release version of the SDK from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. Be sure to have at least JDK/JRE 1.4 on your desktop. If you want...

See the Eclipse Technical articles at the Eclipse site. Also, take a look at the source. See the Eclipse downloads page.

Membership is very easy. Simply click the Create New Account button on the Home page, fill out the required information, and you're a member.

Please go to Lofty Profits Wealth Package for a look at all the enormously valuable products, services and benefits you're getting as a lifetime member.

No and yes. The JTC is about both toolability and interoperability. JSR 198 is just one example of a JSR that helps interoperability among Java development tools. The JTC is about much more than one JSR. We hope to create and shape dozens of JSRs in the areas of toolability and interoperability, and not just focus on one of them.

All customers are encouraged to make their monthly payments to JTC by Interbank GIRO due to the many that? benefits it offers. (Refer to Q4.4)

Anytime there are three bodies (the sun, the moon, or planet) lined up so that one blocks the light from another, we call that an eclipse. During a solar eclipse, our moon moves between us (on Earth) and the sun and blocks the sunlight. During a lunar eclipse, Earth blocks the sun's light that normally lights up the moon. Since we are standing on Earth, what we see is that the moon gets dark. Other kinds of eclipses happen too.

If you want to work with the current version of the eclipse code, you will need to connect to the Eclipse Project CVS repository. To connect to the Eclipse Project CVS repository, open the CVS repositories view (Perspective->Show View->Other...->CVS->CVS Repositories) and create a new CVS repository location (right click->New->CVS Repository Location. Enter the following information into the "Add CVS Repository" dialog.

lt;plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <outputEncoding>UTF-8</outputEncoding> </configuration> </plugin> MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx512m -Xms512m -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1" (mx/ms not mandatory for m2 but for m1). LANG=en_US.ISO8859-15

The entire eclipse will be about two and a half hours from the beginning to the end of the partial phases (at Wuwei, the final end of the post-totality partial eclipse will be virtually at sunset). Totality, when all the excitement happens, will be 1 minute 45 seconds at our chosen site. This is not long, and it will seem shorter in all the excitement. [top]

No. The AspectJ tools download is completely self-contained and does not require that you work in Eclipse. For information on IDE support, see Q: How well does AspectJ integrate with existing Java development tools?.

Answer: Solar eclipse always occurs when the moon is "New Moon" or "Invisible Moon". It occurs when the sun, the moon and Earth come in the same line. At that moment moon comes in front of the sun as seen from earth. This moon is totally invisible, because the moon does not have any light. It only reflects sun's light when it is not in line with the sun. This moon is not "hilal" and cannot be seen from any where in the world.

No, that's the ECLiPSe CLP system, originally developed at ECRC, then at IC-Parc; there is no link between the two.
