Building Eclipse plugins and RCP applications with Tycho, Nexus & Hudson
The schedule for EclipseCon 2011 has been announced, and the Sonatype team is excited to host talks and workshops throughout the week.
Sonatype’s Jason van Zyl, Pascal Rapicault, and Igor Fedorenko, along with Jan Sievers from SAP AG, are holding a three-hour workshop on building Eclipse plugins and RCP applications with Tycho, Nexus and Hudson.
Build automation and continuous integration are central to the production of quality enterprise software. Without automation it is often difficult to keep track of defects and communicate build status. One of the goals of the Maven project is to bring efficient build automation to enterprise development, and as more organizations start to develop Eclipse plugins and RCP applications, there is a greater need for Maven to interoperate with the Eclipse platform. This tutorial will provide first hand experience in how to use Tycho, Nexus & Hudson to build Eclipse plugins and RCP applications.

Hudson moves to Github! We're not forking around!
First, I’d like to address some misinformation. The use of Github itself was never an issue. It was how the original movement of the sources to Github was executed, and why, that created tension. Github is just a tool and it is a better choice for source control, at least in the short term, for several reasons:
- Rich REST API: Good for IDE and tooling integration and will allow some cool workflows which can empower contributors.
- Known quantity: Developers are very familiar with Github and its workflows. It’s easy for developers to interact with us by forking, making modifications, and submitting pull requests.
- Git repositories are available over HTTPS which makes collaboration at larger organizations easier.
- SVN interoperability: There are still many developers who are comfortable with their SVN tool chain and Github makes working with Git and SVN simultaneously a possibility
We proposed using Github on the Hudson list, and in short order agreement was reached and the move was initiated. Winston did the infrastructure work last night to push the sources for Hudson over to Github. It was really that Simple. It’s amazing how smoothly things go when you clearly communicate your intentions to all stakeholders. We hope to keep improving the infrastructure for Hudson so if you’re interested please join the Hudson Dev list!
