Eclipse e4 - Google Eclipse Day
3 likes1,065 views
The Eclipse 4.x project aims to make development for Eclipse easier by providing a consistent way to define the user interface, easier styling of applications, and an easy way to use OSGi services. It models the Eclipse workbench and application framework in a way that supports dependency injection, styling with CSS, and a programming model focused on services. While Eclipse 4.x improves the architecture and capabilities, it does not change how developers build applications with Eclipse itself. The presentation provided an overview of the Eclipse 4.x framework and demonstrated features like dependency injection, styling, and compatibility layers.
