RCP is far - more than just a windowing toolkit; it is rich client "middleware" - that provides a comprehensive framework for building and deploying - applications that are modular, extensible, and updatable. The kinds - of applications you can build with Eclipse RCP are limited only by - your imagination. During this talk, we will discuss how the Eclipse - RCP can be used in conjunction with the Eclipse Eco-system and - GCJ/GIJ to build high quality applications. - </p> - </p> - -<p> -</boxitem> - -<boxitem> - <h3>Sunday from 09:00 to 13:00 - "Developer talks"</h3> - - <p> - Presentations of (core) libraries and runtimes that are in progress, - made a lot of progress in the last year and are in active development. - </p> - - <p> - <b>Free Swing, past, present and future</b> - <i>Roman Kennke</i> - <p> - An overview of that state of Free Swing one year ago, what has been - done in the meantime, what still must be done and which applications - work now. - </p> - </p> - - <p> - <b>The Free CORBA comes</b> - <i>Dr Audrius Meskauskas</i> - <p> - If the Free world does not want to step back in the battle, we need - a complete set of the Free tools for advanced communication over - the network. For our CORBA implementation we needed: - <p> - <ol> - <li> Free. No classes with restricted license. - <li> Fully workable, interoperable and pass tests, recognized by - the CORBA user community as serious (we needed to find a well - known Free testing suite). - <li> Properly commented, being ready for the long life in the Free - world. - <li> No pressure to use the outdated approaches. - CORBA 3.0.3 and jdk 1.5. - </ol> - <p> - To reach these goals, we have chosen for implementing a clean room - implementation, using the published standard specifications only. - During the recent year of the GNU Classpath development, this goal - is in large degree achieved. The important directions of future - development could be providing features that are outside the scope - of the both CORBA standard and Sun API, but included in the near all - proprietary implementations (SSH, HTTP and other bridges, get rid of - rmic code generator for RMI/IIOP, fault tolerant behavior, reduced - the footprint and others). - </p> - </p> - - <p> - <b>The JamVM runtime</b> - <i>Robert Lougher</i> - <p> - An overview of the JamVM virtual machine, with comparisons to other - GNU Classpath runtimes, and a section on the VM interface. - </p> - </p> - - <p> - <b>Integrating Vmgen-based interpreters</b> - <i>Christian Thalinger</i> - <p> - Vmgen is a tool for writing efficient interpreters.
