The goal of the PDE Incubator is to do experimental, forward-looking work outside of the constraints of the
regular release cycles. While not necessarily targeting the next Eclipse release, our work in the
incubator is always focused on delivering new capabilities into the development stream.
In particular, the PDE Incubator will focus on tools and technologies to assist with
plug-in development, providing plug-in developers more cognitive
support for the tasks they perform every day.
In PDE we do tooling, but our business is people!
| Dependency Visualization Views designed to assist with plug-in dependency analysis tasks. |
|
| Declarative Services Tooling Tooling around the declarative services (DS) specification from OSGi |
|
| Product Customization Tooling Tooling built around the Equinox Transformations component |
| Plug-in Spy A way for a plug-in developer to introspect Eclipse to aid plug-in development. |
|
| API Tooling A collection of utilities that can be used in API maintenance and consistency checks. |
