EclipseSource

2. *
*A day dedicated to growing your project
*Contributors are encouraged to help add
new features & fix bugs
*Eclipse project teams are encouraged to
make it as easy as possible for others to
contribute

3. *
*Contributors must setup their environments properly
*Finding, fetching and configuring software artifacts is a pain
point for many
*Previous versions are often needed, but rarely easy to find
*Setup includes more than just tools and source code
*Contributors can easily spend the entire bugday configuring their
environment

4. *
*EclipseSource provides a free service for Open Source projects to
help them share their development environments:
1. Craft and share tool-chain configurations
2. Manage the tool-chain upgrade path for your project
3. Share workspace settings such as SCM information and work item
queries
4. With one-click, contributors can setup their entire development
environment
5. With the Yoxos Repository, you have access to over 1500 Eclipse
components

5. *
*Select only what you need
*The Yoxos Repository guarantees that all dependencies are
available and installed

6. *
*Profiles can be saved locally or shared and managed in a central
database

7. *
*Tools and dependencies will be automatically provisioned
*All instances are ‘bundle-pooled’ to avoid duplication and save
bandwidth
*‘Fast-track’ launching ensures that launching completes in
seconds when no update is needed
*Supports both on-line and off-line situations

8. *
*Update strategies give you complete control over how your tools
will be upgraded

9. *
*Software development environments are more than just tools
*Workspace provisioning allows you to share:
*SCM settings and ‘project set’ information
*Workspace preferences
*Mylyn, Checkstyle, Findbugs configurations

10. *
*The Yoxos Repository contains over 1500 Eclipse components
*Each component has been validated to ensure that all the
dependencies are present

11. *
*Create a profile for the GEF project
*Share settings like CVS location and Mylyn queries
*Save the profile to the ‘cloud’
*Launch the profile, and begin working

12. *
*The tools needed to launch a profile are freely available
*Access to the Yoxos Repository, and ability to save a profile ‘in
the cloud’ is freely available to any Open Source project
*Not just useful for bugday, but can be used by project teams for
their own development too
*The entire service is built using Eclipse and Equinox/p2
