Abstract
Every year, the Eclipse simultaneous release brings together the hard work of dozens of open source projects into a single coordinated release. Most people think of Eclipse as a Java IDE; for the IDE crowd, this year’s Luna release introduces changes in the look and feel of Eclipse, Java 8 support, enhanced content assist, and more. This session walks through some of the new IDE features and surveys some of the other technology being developed by open source projects at Eclipse, including application frameworks, runtime technology, and modeling tools.

Introduction
What is Eclipse?
What is Luna?
Why a Simultaneous Release?
Help spur commercial adoption of Eclipse technology Consumers use many projects not just the Platform Inter-dependency between projects Eclipse project teams are independent BUT the project code is inter-dependent. Alignment of version compatibility Remove latency between project releases
Little Things (mean a lot)
- dark theme, split editors
- line numbers on by default
- reduced whitespace in default presentation
- hide the "quick access" bar
Java 8 Support
- Lambdas
- Content assist/refactoring
- Memory Analyzer now analyzes heap dumps from Java 8, including the Java 8 collection classes.
Recommenders
Demo
- Refactoring:
- Enable Intelligent Code Completion
Sirius
- Graphical Modeling Workbenches for the masses

ECF
- ECF's implementation of OSGi Remote Service/Remote Service Admin standard has been enhanced to use Java 8's CompleteableFuture for asynchronous remote services.
Paho
- open and standard messaging protocols that support current and emerging requirements of M2M integration with Web and Enterprise middleware and applications.
