Business Track presented by Adam Gunther, Program Director, Cloud Offerings for IBM WebSphere Product Management at IBM. Are you a developer who uses Eclipse? Do you want to get involved in a project with the goal to provide a first-class Cloud Foundry development environment for Eclipse? If so, then come learn about the Cloud Foundry Integration for Eclipse project. The Cloud Foundry eclipse plug-in allows developers to perform such tasks as deploy applications to Cloud Foundry, view and manage deployed applications and services, and perform direct debugging when using a Micro Cloud Foundry. Come learn more about the current tools and community, what is planned for the future, and ways you can contribute.

Why Eclipse?
• The premier open source IDE
– Free & open
– Neutral governance
– Already strong affinity with cloud (Orion/Flux)
• Large ecosystem. Strong community.
– 2001: IBM and 7 other companies announce the Eclipse consortium
– 2004: Eclipse Foundation Formed
– 2014: Vibrant foundation with companies from around the globe, over 100
projects and sub-projects, 1700+ plugins in the Eclipse Marketplace and
counting!

How can I develop my own extension?
• Start by taking a look at the Pivotal CF branding plugin as an
example:
org.cloudfoundry.ide.eclipse.server.branding
• Create your own branding plugin by cloning that branding plugin as
your starting point
• Try adding a new extension of
org.cloudfoundry.ide.eclipse.server.core.application and
org.cloudfoundry.ide.eclipse.server.ui.applicationWizard to define
support for deploying a new type of module.
