Eclipse Day at the Googleplex: Plug-in Development Tips

Video sections (part 7; final):
Some links (replace * with .):
9:40 Execution environments: wiki*eclipse*org/Execution_Env ironments
14:58 OSGi Console: ibm*com/developerworks/opensou rce/library/os-ecl-osgiconsole /
26:47 Graph Plug-in Dependencies: eclipse*org/pde/incubator/depe ndency-visualization/

Video sections (part 6):
44:41 API Tooling: In Javadoc, can use, for example, @noextend and @nooverride, and decorate the code, with customizable settings, with warnings or errors.
47:04 Topics not covered: Target Editor, Embedded Rich Client Platform, Rich Ajax Platform.

Video sections (part 5):
40:39 Plug-in Project From Existing Jars: Bundles existing JARs as new PDE projects, ready for reuse.
42:01 Plug-in Spy: Gives introspective information on the workbench, including the active view, the type of the current selection, as well as links to the source code used by that view. Alt+shift+F1.
43:50 Open plug-in artifact: Like Open Type, but in PDE. Can access plug-ins, extension points, extensions and packages. Ctrl+shift+A (I'm guessing, for Windows).

Video sections (part 4):
30:25 Organize Manifest Wizard: Performs certain checks and fixes automatically that keeps the manifest in sync with the project.
32:36 Product Editor: Customizes loading properties and feel of an RCP application, such as customizing splash screens, branding, etc.
37:25 Externalize Strings: Helps set up your PDE contribution to more easily work in multiple locales.
38:18 Adding .qualifier to a version.

Video sections (part 3):
22:11 Conditional breakpoints: attach a boolean expression to a breakpoint to determine if the debugger will stop at the breakpoint or not (in breakpoint properties). Great place for a conditional breakpoint is in BundleLoader.loadClass(String) . All classes OSGi loads call this method.
25:19 Plug-in Dependencies View: Navigate caller and callee plug-ins for a given plug-in.
26:47 Graph Plug-in Dependencies: Can help find indirect dependency path between two plugins.

Video sections (part 2):
14:58 OSGi Console: add -console to the program arguments of the launch configuration. Issue commands, such as ss for short status of bundles. Can specify port and telnet.
19:26 Display View: execute/inspect code while stopped at breakpoint (has code completion).

Video sections (part 1):
2:55 Target Management: can develop on older versions.
4:02 Plug-ins view: Plug-ins view > Add to Java Search: makes available for such dialogs as Open Type (ctrl+shift+t).
6:30 Error Log: Can sort by session or plug-in, as well as view error logs for launch configurations.
9:40 Execution environments: target a specific environment.
14:13 OSGi Launch Configurations: switch in 3.0.

lol !!! he's great ..... good job ! as i didn't knew :D
but anyway... nothing to be angry about, you know :p
