Doug Schaefer: Time for a SAFARI?
I was pretty impressed by the SAFARI presentationby Bob Fuhrer from IBM Research. They have a lot of tooling that generates most of the cool features you get with an Eclipse language IDE, for any language that you specify. There are lots of wizards that generate Java plug-in code and most of it finds information based on a grammar you provide. A lot of it is pretty simplistic, but enough to get you going. At the very least, the generated code can serve as a great head start.
The good news is that they are close to bringing it to Eclipse for others to use. Of course we're building a multi-language framework with the CDT. So we'll have to figure out where we can leverage some of the cool things they have and where they can leverage some of the cool things we have. But this will be a great tool to help those poor souls who ask us how to build an IDElike the CDT for their own language.
Is Java a "Ball and Chain"?
These are curious times just now for Java. In one and the same month, Steve Jobs stands up, and declares - referring to language support on the new Apple iPhone - 'Java's not worth building in. Nobody uses Java anymore. It's this big heavyweight ball and chain.' And in the same month a company like Backbase, whose AJAX JSF Edition is aimed at 'Java developers who want to leverage the JSF standard by creating a next generation rich component-based AJAX presentation tier,' wins a 'Technology of the Year Award 2007' in the category 'AJAX Toolkits.'

So, is Java toast, history, finished, a sucked orange - or does it have plenty of 'legs' yet, and Jobs' remark was just a temporary techno-backlash such as all languages must resist from time to time?
