Quality of Service - what would we do without it!


Eclipse 3.2.1was just released to the Grand Public, and our bandwidth is now maxed out - as usual. Luckily our network infrastructure is configured with elaborate Quality of Service (QoS) rules, meaning CVS, Bugzilla and our websites get priority access to outgoing bandwidth. Downloads get stuck at the end of the queue with whatever's left.

To test this in action, I use my 5 Mbps cable connection at home and wget(also availablefor that other OS). I'm usually good for 550 KB/s downloads from eclipse.org when we're not saturated, so let's see what happens.

Test 1: download an SDK from from download.eclipse.org using wget (no QoS):
bash-3.00$ wget http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3...etc
[snip ] 66.12K/s

Test 2: download a large file from https://dev.eclipse.org (with QoS):
bash-3.00$ wget https://dev.eclipse.org/access_log.2.gz
[snip] 476.67K/s

Same servers, same Internet connection, different packet priority == fast website, CVS and Bugzilla (as fast as Bugzilla can be) even when we're overloaded with download requests. How neat is that?

Wayne's Lunch and Learn


Once a week for the past two weeks Waynehas been hosting a small Lunch and Learn activity at the Foundation'soffice. The goal here is to help bring Eclipse Foundation Staff up to speed on the various Eclipse technologies. Last week Wayne introduced us to bottom-up design by coding jUnit tests first. This week we learned that Plugins are First Class citizens, and he showed us how to build a plugin. Very interesting stuff.

At any rate, it's impressive (and entertaining) to watch him produce hundreds of lines of code in mere minutes by simply pressing a few keystrokes. Eclipse rocks, but he definitely knows his stuff - most likely because he's a semi-Old Dude who knows Smalltalk.

Eclipse "winamp" Skin!



I recently discarded Windows XP from my laptop and installed Linux (I was using Linux in VMWare before). You know how it is when you reinstall your OS - you need to reconfigure everything. After using the same XMMS (Linux' WinAMP) skin for decades, I sought out a new one. Lo and behold, I found the 'Eclipse' skin. It's pretty slick. It might also work on WinAMP.


I feel like a real Eclipse guru now.
