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!



Opportunity for Partnership

• Pivotal Cloud Foundry Integration hosted on Spring

• IBM WebSphere Developer Tools for Eclipse

• Why are we not working together with the Cloud Foundry community?!?!?



A brief (literally) history…

• March 2012: Release 1.0.0• February 2014: Cloud Foundry Foundation Announced

– Pivotal donates their Cloud Foundry Tools under the foundation– IBM joins project

• April 2014: Release 1.6.1 the first under the community• June 2014: Your contributions help the project accelerate and

flourish– Plan to release about every 6 weeks on the latest changes and

improvements.



Open Core – Vendors can build on top


• Create a Cloud Foundry server• Create a Cloud Foundry account• Deploy a .war to Java build pack• Configure deployment options• View/create/bind/unbind services• Update deployed applications• Display console• Clone a Cloud Foundry instance

Cloud Foundry common layer

Vendor Extensions

Existing Cloud Foundry support examples

• Custom Branding• Server adaptors


Functions provided by the framework• Open source project based on Eclipse Web Tools Project (WTP -

http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/• Provides basic interaction with Cloud Foundry, e.g. server creation,

authentication.• Deploy applications within the IDE to Clound Foundry.



Extensions provided by the framework• Branding extension that allows customizations on default

URL, icons, server types, sign up pages, etc.

• Provides default implementation on WAR, standalone application and Grails.

• Supports new application types that are not part of the default implementation.



Charts are boring – it’s demo time!



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.

• Check out vendor specific IBM Bluemix implementation in action:IBM Codename: Bluemix for Eclipse Kepler Beta (https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/ibm-codename-bluemix-eclipse-kepler)



How can I contribute to the framework?

• Participate in mailing list discussions• When you have some changes that you want to contribute

to the framework, open a bug on the pivotal tracker• Fork the GitHub repository and submit a pull request to

request for the patch to be adopted: https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repohttps://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request

• Your pull request will be reviewed and adopted if applicable.



Potential Framework Opportunities

• Better debug• Real deployments

– DevOps, Continuous Integration• Think beyond the app

– APIs/Services– BOSH, OpenStack

• Intersection with new community efforts– Docker, .NET

• Globalization/Internationalization• If you can think it, you can build it!
