Thanks Eric! Sounds good on the blog. We can get the Foundation to promote pretty much any open site and maybe even get them to copy content at Eclipse.org.
See you Wednesday,
Jay

Everyone,
Here's some test footage of Eclipse (Neon M4 + ICE plugins) running in
Firefox with Broadway that will form the basis of my blog video. There
is no audio.

Looks good! It's pretty cool to see Eclipse used in a scientific setting which is something I have never seen before.
Notable bugs in the video:
*Clicking on SWT-rendered pieces is offset by ~1cm.
*Long-running operations hang the UI (not shown because they hang...).
*Clicking to expand items in the project explorer kills Eclipse.
*Almost all edges are incorrectly drawn on dialogs.
*Some lists require resizing the view screen to refresh the content.
Some of these bugs are still being ironed out by GTK, some are on our end. The resize/offset bugs are most likely GTK. The crashing/hanging is definitely an SWT issue.
Eric said he would put together an article for the Red Hat blog. I'll
also put together a short article for my own blog that contains some
links and other things so that Eclipse folks can reproduce the work.
I looked into this: postings on the Red Hat developer blog are usually centered around things that can be done on RHEL. Unfortunately RHEL7.2 (latest) only supports GTK3.14, which doesn't allow for stable Wayland use. This pretty much excludes us from posting on the Red Hat developer blog since RHEL customers won't be able to use Eclipse on Wayland for awhile further.
Instead I can put together a blog post/article on my WordPress. There's also a Wayland section on the SWT/Eclipse Wiki which can benefit from this as well.
Talk to you on Wednesday,
Eric
