In my previous note about QuantumDB, I explained how to use an SQL database within Eclipse. But now, the question is how to automate the run of a SQL script using Ant...
Note: to illustrate this, we will use a MySQL datatbase but it's the same idea with another database.

This note explains how to perform HTML unit tests within eclipse using HtmlUnit. HtmlUnit is a java unit testing framework for testing web based applications. It is a member of the JUnit family. This method work for any kind of web development project, not only Java ones but also PHP projects for example, as we are testing the HTML as it appears on the client side.

In my previous note entitled Installing and using Subversion on Windows with Eclipse, I was concentrated on the installation of Subversion on my PC. The current note explains a better solution for collaborative development: using Subversion (aka SVN) from the Internet.

I want to move from CVS to Subversion. Both are version control systems, but Subversion is a better CVS as explained in this article. For us, the main reason to switch from CVS to Subversion is that files and directories can be renamed or moved and directories are versionned as files. So the first questions are: how to install Subversion on Windows? What about the Subversion integration with Eclipse. This blog note will try to answer these questions. In a next note, I will deal with CVS to Subversion repository conversion using cvs2svn tool. |

Until now, I was only a user of the Eclipse Platform. Today, I want to know how to create a new simple plug-in with Eclipse 3.1 using the Plug-in Development Environment (PDE). The first goal is really simple: use the PDE to create a kind of Hello World plug-in. What a nice surprise when I have discovered that the Eclipse guys have the idea to create a wizard to do that! This wizard really simplify the creation of a Hello World Eclipse plug-in... |

Eclipse and the world of Hello World -

One big strength of Eclipse compared to other IDE (ok, no name) is that Eclipse is language-agnostic so that you can use Eclipse in many programming languages or development frameworks. To prove that quality, I have written 4 Hello World! programs using Eclipse and using 4 different languages: Java, Ant (ok, it's tool rather than a language), PHP and Ruby on Rails. The level of integration with Eclipse is not the same for every languages, but the language-agnostic promise is respected. |

As in some other scientific domains, Eclipse is probably suffering of some acronym addiction. As deciphering acronyms is always a pain in particular for newcomers, I have created a list of Eclipse acronyms. We can name it EAL for Eclipse Acronym List, if you agree:-). Update (2005-09-02): |
