Eclipse Banking Day (Frankfurt Messeturm, Sept. 11, 2008)

Posted in Eclipse, Events, Jörn Weigle, News | Thursday, August 14th, 2008 | No Comments »

The Open Financial Markets Platform (OFMP), WeigleWilczek’s Eclipse project for the banking industry, now provides first modules which can be found in the project cvs. There are several other companies from the Eclipse eco system providing interesting technologies for banks, e.g. compeople, Actuate and Innovations. We thought this is worth an exclusive information day and came up with the Eclipse Banking Day.

The Eclipse Banking Day connects the financial community to the Eclipse eco system. Banking practitioners and Eclipse committers introduce ways to leverage the Eclipse technology within modern banking and provide you with an accessible insight into applications, tools, frameworks and modules specifically designed for banks. All of the solutions presented on the Eclipse Banking Day were exclusively built on Eclipse technolgy backed by one of the world’s largest and most professional open source initiatives.

There will be talks about

  • the Eclipse Foundation by Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation
  • a GUI framework for rich clients by Rudolf Oppliger, Head of GUI Framework at Schweizer PostFinance
  • order management in retail banking by Martin Reichenbach, Head of Customer Service at Degussa Bank and Dr. Marc Gille, SunGard
  • process management for mortgage insurance by Robert Emsbach, SunGard
  • Eclipse Riena by Jürgen Wiesmaier and Christian Glanz, Directors of compeople
  • a credit risk rating platform by Christopher Hansert, Innovations
  • the Rich Ajax Platform by Jochen Krause, Director of Innoopract
  • benefits of OSGi for enterprise systems by Heiko Seeberger
  • and I will talk about the Open Financial Markets Platform.

Posted in Eclipse, Heiko Seeberger, aspectj, osgi | Friday, August 8th, 2008 | No Comments »

I am very happy to announce that we made it: Equinox Aspects 1.0 Milestone 1 is there. AspectJ and OSGi are coming closer to each other.

There are some important changes and new features. Please visit the New and Noteworthy page for detailed information.

Most notably the bundle names have changed to "org.eclipse.equinox.weaving.*". And now OSGi dynamics are supported much better than before.

Martin and me will appreciate your feedback a lot: Please use the equinox-dev mailing list or bugzilla.
