RCP is far + more than just a windowing toolkit; it is rich client "middleware" + that provides a comprehensive framework for building and deploying + applications that are modular, extensible, and updatable. The kinds + of applications you can build with Eclipse RCP are limited only by + your imagination. During this talk, we will discuss how the Eclipse + RCP can be used in conjunction with the Eclipse Eco-system and + GCJ/GIJ to build high quality applications. + </p> + </p> + +<p> +</boxitem> + +<boxitem> + <h3>Sunday from 09:00 to 13:00 - "Developer talks"</h3> + + <p> + Presentations of (core) libraries and runtimes that are in progress, + made a lot of progress in the last year and are in active development. + </p> + + <p> + <b>Free Swing, past, present and future</b> + <i>Roman Kennke</i> + <p> + An overview of that state of Free Swing one year ago, what has been + done in the meantime, what still must be done and which applications + work now. + </p> + </p> + + <p> + <b>The Free CORBA comes</b> + <i>Dr Audrius Meskauskas</i> + <p> + If the Free world does not want to step back in the battle, we need + a complete set of the Free tools for advanced communication over + the network. For our CORBA implementation we needed: + <p> + <ol> + <li> Free. No classes with restricted license. + <li> Fully workable, interoperable and pass tests, recognized by + the CORBA user community as serious (we needed to find a well + known Free testing suite). + <li> Properly commented, being ready for the long life in the Free + world. + <li> No pressure to use the outdated approaches. + CORBA 3.0.3 and jdk 1.5. + </ol> + <p> + To reach these goals, we have chosen for implementing a clean room + implementation, using the published standard specifications only. + During the recent year of the GNU Classpath development, this goal + is in large degree achieved. The important directions of future + development could be providing features that are outside the scope + of the both CORBA standard and Sun API, but included in the near all + proprietary implementations (SSH, HTTP and other bridges, get rid of + rmic code generator for RMI/IIOP, fault tolerant behavior, reduced + the footprint and others). + </p> + </p> + + <p> + <b>The JamVM runtime</b> + <i>Robert Lougher</i> + <p> + An overview of the JamVM virtual machine, with comparisons to other + GNU Classpath runtimes, and a section on the VM interface. + </p> + </p> + + <p> + <b>Integrating Vmgen-based interpreters</b> + <i>Christian Thalinger</i> + <p> + Vmgen is a tool for writing efficient interpreters.
