Thanks, Trace Chris, I read something on Lars Vogella’s site that said Eclipse 3.8 will be the last of the Eclispe 3.x series.  Does this mean that Kepler will be Eclipse 4.2?

Thanks,

]]> Comment on Git Fetch Factory for PDE Build by Christian Campo http://aniszczyk.org/2010/10/26/git-fetch-factory-for-pde-build/comment-page-1/#comment-3485 Christian Campo Tue, 13 Dec 2011 10:28:00 +0000 http://aniszczyk.org/?p=2764#comment-3485 I found an nice pitfall this morning when using the Git FetchFactory. If you PDE Build happens to run on Java 1.5. the Git FetchFactory will not work and PDE build will return strange error messages where the CVS fetch factory is trying to checkout git tags. You dont get a clear error message because the Git Fetchfactory bundle simply doesnt start. Upgrading to Java 1.6. helps instantly.

However, in the future age of services running mostly on the server-side, there's a very small percentage of software out there that is released under the AGPL which would keep the spirit of the GPL alive for server-based applications. I guess we will see what the future will hold :) It’s slightly concerning because at least the old method of mitigating control via licenses like GPL, works pretty well.

It is easier than ever before to make functionality available on the web, including tools, and I have yet to see a walled garden that does not include a web browser. Web pages now can access things like sensors, the camera, etc. - pretty much the only thing that a web page cannot access currently is data stored on the device, such as files on a desktop computer, or contacts/photos/... on a mobile device. Doesn't seem like a problematic restriction to me since most of these live "in the cloud" anyway. Now your point about using web-based tools as control points is a good one. I am optimistic and think of this as a good thing, but perhaps that's just because I work in the tools business, and see this as a chance for tool makers to earn money, which historically has been very hard.

I renewed my mortgage with a different bank because of their bogus warning (and I told them this).  I pointed out the terrible App Store Policies to almost all my Friends / Family members.  But at the end-of-the-day, while I'm trying to figure out why the birthday video of my daughter won't play on my machine (turns out I was missing some MPlayer Codec), the rest of my family is enjoying themselves watching the movie on my sisters computer.But yes, things are much better.
