ABSTRACT

Eclipse Day at the Googleplex
Wiring Hacker Synapses: Collaborative Coding and Team Tooling in Eclipse
by Scott Lewis, Composent & Mustafa K. Isik

ECF is a communication framework and an increasing set of integrated tools. ECF provides APIs useful for the development of Equinox-based servers, RCP applications, and Eclipse-based development tools. The provider architecture supports the use of existing communications services, such as Google Talk and UI integration with web-based services, and other Eclipse-based tools. For example, for the upcoming Ganymede release, ECF is working on real-time shared editing of source code to support distributed team use cases like code reviews and collaborative debugging.

This is a talk about shared editing in Eclipse (using the Eclipse Communication Framework). The talk starts with a brief demo. Impressive, though I wonder how well such shared editing works without a "high-bandwidth" communication channel such as voice? The main part of the talk is an explanation of how basic editing conflicts are resolved. The talk wraps up with a brief mention of future directions for the project, and the last 12 min are questions and answers.

The syncing and concurrency control were working fine until recently, that is a few months ago. The current version of the code is the result of a refactoring effort of a different developer. It has a couple of bugs. The core syncing code is due to be revamped by the original author and probably others in April 2010.

I can say, for my tests on that tool:

* It is on develop stage.

* Not very good syncing.

* But the idea is terrific.

Keep developing.
