On The Shoulders Of Giants
0 likes594 views
This document discusses how the Eclipse platform provides tools and components that allow developers to build enterprise applications more efficiently. It highlights how Eclipse offers reusable components for persistence (EMF), UI building (JEM/VE), editing (GEF), and more. These components work together to enable building graphical editors and tools with less code. The Eclipse way emphasizes reuse, extensibility, asynchronous operations, and providing familiar experiences for users and developers.
On The Shoulders Of Giants
- 1. On the shoulders of giants Harnessing the Power of Eclipse Enterprise Ecosystem Kirill Grouchnikov
- 2. What is he going to talk about? To show you how Eclipse makes you more productive
- 3. Why should I care? Less code to write, test and support
- 4. And then you can retire
- 5. What is he going to talk about? Amdocs Smart Client Designer
- 7. Provides familiar experience
- 14. For your users Provides familiar experience
- 15. For your developers Less code to write, test and support
- 16. Especially for enterprise solutions
- 17. Eclipse – rich foundation

- 23. Our building blocks • EMF – persistence • JEM / VE – UI builder • GEF – editors • JDT – Java source trees
- 24. Putting the pixels on canvas XML EMF Java model JEM Swing frame GEF Canvas
- 25. EMF as the persistence layer
- 26. EMF as the persistence layer Starting with the schema definition
- 27. EMF as the persistence layer Generating the model classes
- 28. EMF as the persistence layer xml -> java model
- 29. xml ↔ java notifications validations
- 30. JEM proxies Java model Offscreen Swing JFrame Creation and updates via JEM proxies GEF graphical edit parts image changes
- 31. GEF - everything is an EditPart org.eclipse.gef.ui.parts TreeViewer org.eclipse.gef.editparts AbstractGraphicalEditPart
- 32. All together now XML EMF Java model JEM Swing frame GEF Canvas
- 33. Java-based warnings Java class change core Builder invocation JDT Java syntax trees Marker creation core UI update
- 34. Flagging API usage violations
- 35. All together now Java class change core Builder invocation JDT Java syntax trees Marker creation core UI update
- 36. And those are just the big pieces
- 37. markers builders actions monitors natures commands wizards help dialogs validations views editors jobs perspectives

- 40. big pieces + small pieces
- 41. =
- 42. the Eclipse way
- 43. The only rule of Eclipse way don’t fight it
- 44. =
- 45. provide familiar experience to your users
- 46. Our experience • Reuse as much plumbing as possible • Reuse as many UI parts as possible • Use very few synchronous UI operations • Reuse as many UI flows as possible • Decompose into plugins • Build for extensibility • Don’t depend on internal code
