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.
