Robert Munteanu presented on the Apache Sling IDE Tooling. The presentation covered the context and major features of the IDE tooling, including bundle deployment, content synchronization, and a content navigator. It also demonstrated the tooling through an example blog application, showing how to work with bundles, scripts, and content. The tooling integrates FileVault and provides APIs and utilities to enable features like content synchronization and transport between the IDE and runtime.

4. My personal view on why we need IDE tooling
 5+ years of Java development outside the
Sling stack
 3 years of Java development with the Sling
stack
 Typically, non-Sling world has better
tooling with worse runtimes (servers, DBs)
