Turning Eclipse Against Itself: Improving the Quality of Eclipse Plugins

While many researchers have used Eclipse as a platform for developing software engineering and program analysis tools, Eclipse itself presents an excellent subject for analysis and study. Eclipse represents one of the biggest Java projects ever created. While surprisingly robust, Eclipse still suffers from serious bugs that lead to crashes and resource exhaustion. Eclipse is a collaborative dev...

The ECLIPSE User Interface

This paper describes the user interface facilities of the ECLIPSE integrated project support environment. This interface is based on a consistent metaphor called the'control panel'metaphor and includes standard help and message-handling systems. The paper describes these as well as some of the interface standards which have been developed. The interface has been implemented on top of the'applic...

Variations in the sky brightness during a lunar eclipse

A total lunar eclipse is conjectured to have influence on the physical conditions of an environmental area, particularly on the brightness of the sky. The phenomenon might also be relevant on weather parameters change on Earth, such as temperature, humidity and pressure, though a straightforward correlation is not easy to establish. This work mainly aims at measuring the brightness of the sky a...

Eclipse Guard: Relative Debugging in the Eclipse Framework

This paper describes an implementation of relative debugging under the Eclipse framework. The paper describes what relative debugging is and how it helps test and debug evolved applications. We give a brief overview of the architecture of Eclipse and show how our relative debugger, Guard, has been integrated into that environment.
