| <p style="font-size:13px"><strong>itemis</strong></p><br><br> |
| <p><b>What do you do?</b><br>I work as a development and branch manager for itemis, a strategic member at Eclipse. I'm in a lucky position as I work with a very skilled and |
| friendly team on Eclipse <a style="color:#7036be;" target="_blank" href="http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/">Xtext</a> and Eclipse <a style="color:#7036be;" target="_blank" href="http://www.eclipse.org/xtend/"> Xtend</a>. Xtext is a framework for development of programming languages including Eclipse Support, while |
| Xtend is a modern functional language we have built with it, that translates to Java source code. When I'm not working on new features and other improvements in these open-source |
| projects, I often help customers using these technologies or talk about the technologies at conferences. It's the best job I could possibly find.<br>The rest of my life is |
| dedicated to travelling, music, good food and my family. I'm also obsessed with kiteboarding.</p> |
| <p><b>How long have you been using Eclipse?</b><br>I switched from Netbeans a couple of months after Eclipse was first made available. I think it was 2002. I built my first |
| plug-in in 2003. It was a text editor for a template language (the first version of Xpand, in case anybody knows it).</p> |
| <p><b>Name three plugins you use and recommend:</b><br> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a style="color:#7036be;" target="_blank" href="http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-java-8-support-kepler-sr2-jdt-pde">JDT - Java Development Tools</a>: Every Java developer uses JDT of course, at least when Eclipse is the IDE of choice. I list it here |
| to emphasize how good it actually is. A lot of complaints are being made about Eclipse in general, but in fact the platform plug-ins like JDT are rarely the problem. JDT is fast and |
| reliable and one of the best programming language tools on the planet.</li> |
| <li><a style="color:#7036be;" target="_blank" href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Oomph_Installer">Oomph</a>: Oomph is a new project at eclipse which automates the setup of a developer's environment. Whenever someone |
| enters a new team and project, people usually start the first two days setting up everything. With a proper Oomph configuration it's one click. You can share workspace settings within |
| your team and it updates your local installation automatically. Very helpful for any kind of project, but especially for open-source projects. If you want to get contributions make it easy to get started. |
| I can only recommend to try it.</li> |
| <li><a style="color:#7036be;" target="_blank" href="http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/findbugs-eclipse-plugin">FindBugs</a>: FindBugs can be a helpful guide when used properly. I don't use it on a regular basis, but I tend to look at it before releases.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Of course, I use the tools we build a lot. "Eat your own dog food" is an important principle for me.</p> |
| <p><b>What's your favorite thing to do when you're not working?</b><br>At the moment that is definitely kiteboarding. It's just so nice to get out on the water - just me and the wind. |
| With kiteboarding it seems like the learning curve never ends, I learn so much every time I get out and I get into the flow immediately. |
| I think of nothing else when I'm doing it. There's a reason everyone who tried it is addicted. |
| I live directly on the coast and the next spot is just 20 minutes from the office. :-)</p> |
