[OT] Pack200 at EclispeCon

[Alex Blewitt <al...@gmail.com>]

I'm going to be giving a short presentation (10 mins) at EclipseCon
this year on Pack200. Mostly it will be about how the Eclipse update
manager uses it, but I'm going to be talking a little bit about how
Pack200 works as well as the fact that it's being done as part of the
Harmony project; so I'll be plugging Harmony a bit as well.

Harmony's also starting to pop up on the radar on other Eclipse/OSGi
sites; Peter Kriens blogged about it recently, as well as Wayne Beaton
(Eclipse Evangelist)

There's also a feature in Eclipse that allows you to export RCP
applications along with a JRE, in order to have a full workable
solution out of the box -- and Harmony is pretty well placed for that
too!

It's certainly making a lot of good noises at the moment.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to demo Eclipse on Harmony (unless it
gets ported to Mac OS X before March :-) but I'll certainly plug it
during my short talk. And now that I'm back up to speed on the SVN
layout, I'll be able to start making a bigger dent in the remaining
coding, too :-)
