E4@Eclipse Application Developer Day

In my last post I published the demo applications I planned to show of at EADD in Karlsruhe and here are the PDF-slides. The talk was split into 4 areas:

• History and Reasons
• Design ideas (EMF-Model, IEclipseContext, Declarative Styling, DI)
• The implementation of the ideas + BackwardsCompat
• Demos:
  • Application development with EMF-XMI-Editor using the E4-PhotoDemo
  • Declarative-Themeing via E4-Contacts-Demo
  • Workbench-Renders: Using PShelf and Ribbon using the E4-Contacts-Demo
  • Backwards compat by launching our E4-Builds and writing a HelloWorld application
  • Abandoning of Static and Singleton by launching E4-Contacts-Demo as a RAP-Application with unmodified workbench code

The talk was quite well received and I showed how we try to create innovation in the core-platform. I'd like to thank EclipseSource who made my travel to Karlsruhe possible by funding the half of my travel costs.
