Eclipse links -- quick note

It takes some time to find Eclipse source and instructions at Eclipse website.

And here is a short description of what is Eclipse Project. In short words it's a platform written primarily in Java that allows to write, manage and build software projects. It's open source, released under Eclipse License.

I'm going to try building it from overnight build source (if it's not terribly buggy, it can be checked at the source code page) at my XP Windows machine

A few weeks ago (well, about two) people who take DPS909 were offered a new way to have their DPS903 assignments done.

For assignment #1 we have to complete it as usual, except we have to do/build it using Eclipse platform.

• At this point it's time to upgrade my PC, I think. I have at least two courses now (DPS909 and DPS903) which would require not only build my little "Hello world"s, but also build Mozilla Bugzilla and Eclipse, respectively.

For assignment #2 and #3 we have to find a bug in Eclipse, fix it and blog about it. I'm not sure that we have to have it accepted officially in the tree, but it will be good for us.

So my nearest todo list for this project is the following:

• Upgrade my PC
  
• Reinstall everything (!)
• Install and build Eclipse platform
• Start the assignment #1
