EclipseCon Europe 2011
Abstract
From the 2nd to 4th november 2011 the Eclipse-Community celebrates its 10th existence in Ludwigsburg! As a strategic member of the Eclipse-Foundation, the itemis AG also presents its newest products and projects on the EclipseCon Europe 2011.
We are looking forward to present you our newest developments and services.
EclipseCon Europe is the Eclipse Foundation’s premier event designed to create opportunities for the European Eclipse community to learn, explore, share and collaborate on the latest ideas and information about Eclipse and its member companies. EclipseCon is all about community. Contributors, adopters, extenders, service providers, consumers and business and research organizations gather to share their expertise and learn from each other. EclipseCon delivers networking opportunities that lead to synergies in the community, as well as opportunities to give and receive help on specific technical issues or generate business opportunities. Sponsors of EclipseCon Europe have a unique opportunity to be an integral part of the entire event.
This year the EclipseCon Europe, formerly Eclipse Summit Europe, expands the space to host more attendees and extend the program. EclipseCon Europe is now a full three-day conference with great keynotes, talks, and
activities! Again, the program committee led by Bernd Kolb has done an amazing job in selecting a very interesting program for you. The categories for this year are:
- Eclipse technology
- Building industry solutions
- Community and collaboration
- Java 7
