The document discusses enhancing Eclipse IDE to better manage real-life projects that involve various technologies such as Java, JavaScript, and multiple frameworks. It highlights the importance of modularity, automation, and the need for an extensible framework to streamline project configurations. The presentation also includes references to ongoing development efforts and a hackathon aimed at improving IDE functionalities.

3. Real-life projects: examples

http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/tree
https://github.com/hypery2k/angular_cordova_app

4. Real-life projects: generalization
N-tiers: data, services, client...
Multi-targets: Cloud, RCP, Web, Mobile Hybrid, Mobile
Native...
Dev/Ops: Code, deployment, Vms/Containers...
Polyglot: Java, JavaScript, SQL, .dockerfiles,...
Multi-frameworks: Java EE, AngularJS, Android,
Cordova...
Multi build/dependency tools: Maven, NPM, Bower,
Grunt...
Replaceable/Moveable components: Android/Native
↔ Cordova, Spring ↔ Java EE, Java EE ↔ Node.js...
TL;DR: Modularity and multiple technologies

projects with multiple technologies

6. Eclipse IDE and multiple
technologies
...Eclipse IDE is already GREAT when it comes to
mixing mutliple technologies in the same project...
When those projects are configured correctly!!!
Assuming that your IDE has the right tools installed
(discussion out of the scope of this presentation)...
