Haven't been part of a U, since I was asked to leave; all my students |
7 |
were making to much money consulting and did not want those tuition waivers |
8 |
or TA paychecks..... Are things any better now ? |

Your not alone. Elipse is a constantly morphing ecosystem where billion |
14 |
dollar boys twist the future for their $elfish reason$. |
15 |
|
16 |
For example, TI installes Code Composer on top of eclipse for their |
17 |
"internet of things" embedded linux development ecosystem: Sitara. |

The other semiconductors houses likewise. Many BSP (Board Support Packages) |
22 |
for newly offered embedded linux system, involve eclipse in some major or |
23 |
minor way. This approach better integrate support from the SemiConductor |
24 |
company's point of view for both winblowz and *nix platforms. Most of the |
25 |
embedded linux kernel vendors, such as MontaVista are similarly using Eclipse: |

If you guys are deep into hardware at NYU, I'd suggest getting friendly with |
30 |
one of the big semiconductor houses, via a local FAE or rep. firm and see |
31 |
what kind of goodies you can get. I use to get hundreds of thousands of |
32 |
dollars in toys from SemiConductor companies, while at a U. You just got to |
33 |
talk to them and find the "embedded hotshots" as they like hanging at the U, |
34 |
imho. Many are hard core coders and still unmarried so those dergraduate |
35 |
females are of keen value to a total solution community at the U, imho! I |
36 |
know, I married the worlds smartest female embedded coder, had 3 kids and |
37 |
retired as a single entrepreneur. |

|
39 |
Dam, I'm now missing that sort of (U)) fun..... |

|
41 |
Also the FPGA companies are hugely into everything Eclipse, too. |
42 |
|
43 |
Windows environments are huge with Eclipse, as much of corporate America |
44 |
is still trying to make Java, the end to all means..... So Eclipse becomes |
45 |
the bridge between the business college weenies and the engineering groups. |
46 |
Most business schools teach and use java; Java + Database is huge in the |
47 |
business world. |

Still, Elipse holds interests for me too: |

|
55 |
So my sugestions is to participate in the NYU "Elipse Thinktank" to see |
56 |
what exactly they are planning for Eclipse. It's a huge "ecosystem |
57 |
(echo_system?)" and everybody is lost, but prtenders abound.... ymmv. |
58 |
|

60 |
Gentoo has not always robustly embraced Java, as Python is the |
61 |
big daddy here, imho. So once you find out where NYU is headed for Eclipse |
62 |
you'll be just fine. Be careful, or you could easily be leading the charge: |
63 |
Java, Java, mocha Java.... |

hth, cheers! |
