Advanced Eclipse Workshop (IPC Spring Edition 2010)
Starting on 9.15hrs that early sunday morning Nils, Sven and I where faceing about 16 attendees to our 'Advanced Eclipse' workshop at the IPCse.
After a short introduction of ourselfs, Nils gave a short introduction about the eclipse workspace and it's not so often used or obvious features like working sets and the possibiility to run builds only in their scope, and so on. Impressingly most of the people in the audience had a well prepared laptop to follow the tutorials and workflows we showed in our presentation. Nevertheless the interest in a live DVD I prepared was very high and at the end there were only one DVD left.
As I wrote in the teaser to this event we put a lot of topics on the agenda for this workshop. Since we only had about 4 hours the decision what topics are the most interesting were found by a quick vote of the attendees at the begining of the workshop.
Surprisingly the debugging capabilities of eclipse in combination with Xdebug won the vote right before the Validators, Templates, and Shortcuts. The abstract about the External Tools Framework and the Subversion integration via Subversive were declined with about two votes.
Sven took over for a short introduction and founding a base of the terminology of PTI which was used for the validators to be integrated in Eclipse.So again Nils began to talk about the validators first. In his presentation he indroduction he showed how to configure them, and how to write your own validator in PHP using the PHP Tool Integration plugin as platform.
After lunch I started with the elected main topic of the workshop: Debugging inside of Eclipse. In my presentation I gave a short introduction about the different types of debugging and how to use them in Eclipse. I also showed the different ways to start a debugging session and how to navigate through it.
At the end of the workshop Nils and I wrapped up the other two topics (Templares and Shortcuts) by giving a handson how to define your own templates and shortcuts in eclipse. We also talked about their benefits and where it is useful to use them.
Last but not leased I want to thank all participants of the workshop and want to invite you to give us feedback. Only with your constructive feedbak we can evolve and make it more worthwhile for you attending our talks. Thank you in advance.
I had a great time and hopefully we could ease you daily work with the Eclipse IDE. Hope to see you in october at the IPC or WebTechCon.
