 <h1 class="article-title"><?php echo $pageTitle; ?></h1>
 			<p>Lately Red Hat teams involved with Eclipse plug-ins have been working
 			on improving the support for Eclipse in context of Container based
 			development - specifically, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.docker.com/">Docker</a>,
 			<a target="_blank" href="https://www.vagrantup.com/">Vagrant</a> and
 			<a target="_blank" href="http://kubernetes.io/">Kubernetes</a> (via
 			<a target="_blank" href="https://www.openshift.com/">OpenShift tooling</a>).</p>

 			<p>I'll be speaking at EclipseCon 2016, in Reston, on the details of this, but this
 			article will outline some of the reasoning behind this tooling
 			and some of its highlights.</p>

 		<h2>Docker</h2>

 			<p>The Docker tooling provides various views to browse your
 			images and containers as well as commands for build and launch
 			images.</p>

 			<br/>
 			<img class="img-responsive" src="/community/eclipse_newsletter/2016/january/images/docker_explorer_view.png"/>
 			<br/><br/>

 			<p>Docker Tooling was included in Eclipse Mars and have been improved and
 			extended in both Mars.1 and upcoming Mars.2. One of the bigger ones
 			are being able to have a Docker Run be managed as a Launch
 			Configuration.</p>

 			<br/>
 			<img class="img-responsive" src="/community/eclipse_newsletter/2016/january/images/run_image_launch_configuration.png"/>
 			<br/><br/>

 			<p>Meaning you can now share and save your favorite Docker launches in
 			your workspace for repeated and optional shared usage.</p>

 		<h2>Vagrant</h2>

 			<p>Vagrant Tooling was added recently and is thus not as complete as the
 			Docker tooling, but still a good start for future integrations.</p>

 			<br/>
 			<img class="img-responsive" src="/community/eclipse_newsletter/2016/january/images/vagrant-toolbar.png"/>
 			<br/><br/>

 			<p>It contains views for listing known vagrant boxes and running vm's;
 			but even more it contains a small dropdown toolbar where you can
 			start/stop Vagrant and open a text editor for editing your vagrant
 			files.</p>

 		<h2>OpenShift</h2>

 			<p>OpenShift Tooling is part of JBoss Tools and can be installed on its
 			own. The recent version of OpenShift tooling works with OpenShift 3
 			that is using 100% Docker images for running its containers.</p>

 			<p>OpenShift 3 is based on Kubernetes thus the OpenShift Tooling is
 			using the Kubernetes API and its concepts + some OpenShift extensions.

 			<p>The OpenShift tooling provides similar to Docker a view to explore
 			your OpenShift/Kubernetes connection to start/stop applications -
 			which consist of one or more Docker images/containers.</p>

 			<br/>
 			<img class="img-responsive" src="/community/eclipse_newsletter/2016/january/images/openshift-menus.gif"/>
 			<br/><br/>

 			<p>From within OpenShift Explorer you can launch, deploy and introspect your
 			application.</p>
 			<br/>
 			<a href="/community/eclipse_newsletter/2016/january/images/search_docker_images.png">
 			<img class="img-responsive" src="/community/eclipse_newsletter/2016/january/images/search_docker_images_small.png"/></a>
 			<br/><br/>

 			<p>It also allow you to use the Docker tooling to deploy a docker image
 			to OpenShift.</p>

 		<h2>Where to get it ?</h2>

 			<p>Vagrant and Docker tooling are developed as part of Eclipse Linux
 			Tools and part of Eclipse Mars releases. Note, that despite the
 			overall project name the Docker and Vagrant tooling does run on other
 			platforms, like Windows and OS X.</p>

 			<p>The OpenShift tooling is available from JBoss Tools and thus not
 			default included in Eclipse Mars. You can install it from Eclipse
 			Marketplace or download it from <a target="_blank" href="http://tools.jboss.org">http://tools.jboss.org</a>.</p>

 		<h2>Introducing Container Development Toolkit</h2>

 			<p>Now, why are Red Hat interested in making this experience
 			great from within Eclipse ?

 			<p>One part is of course that we think container based development
 			is here to stay and Eclipse as an IDE needs to be able to at least
 			work with these technologies - having first class support for
 			them is the one part that lets plug-in users and developers try
 			and explore.</p>

 			<p>The other is that with container based setup and the (almost)
 			universal access to virtualization it is now possible for us to
 			deliver a "PaaS-in-a-box" solution. A solution where you from
 			any machine can install and run a "close-to-production" environment
 			with access to containers (Docker), PaaS (OpenShift) all virtualized
 			(Vagrant) running on Red Hat supported bits.</p>

 			<p>All configured to work together and out-of-the-box from your
 			command line *and* IDE (in this case Eclipse).</p>

 			<p>We call this the Container Develoment Toolkit (CDK) and we are working
 			on providing a Vagrant based install that comes optionally bundled
 			with Eclipse pre-configured to work with the Vagrant box, Docker and
 			OpenShift.</p>

 			<p>All ready to run with after a single download and install.</p>

 			<p>We are still developing on this but you can see a preview of the work
 			demonstrated in this video</p>

 		<h2>Want to hear/learn more ?</h2>

 			<p>I will be giving <a target="_blank" href="https://www.eclipsecon.org/na2016/session/docker-vagrant-and-kubernetes-walks-eclipsed-bar">a talk</a>
 			at EclipseCon 2016 which will demo these pieces and talk about where
 			Red Hat will be going with moving container based development forward
 			in the world of Eclipse.</p>
