Eclipse Ganymede: Colaborative development with Cola

June 25, 2008 ·

With the imminent release of the next version of Eclipse called 'Ganymede', I thought I would have a look at some of the upcoming features. The first feature that caught my eye was "Cola", which provides Real-Time shared editing of a file. I have seen this before but not done in such a nice way. Check out the video below:

    Mark-

    Is CFEclipse compatible with Ganymede?

    That's a pretty flashy feature. I question how much real life applicability there is there though.

    I havent even tried it yet. I shall see if I can import the sources and run it through Ganymede.

    C'mon, it was released today! I was at work... so no coding (of CFEclipse at any rate... did a lot of ANT scripts... but that is another story)

    Real world applicability? I would say that being that much closer to not having to commute to an office and sit in a cubicle under harsh lights is applicable enough.

    All I have to say is working from home is great and this makes a whole lot more interesting :o)

    Fantastic news! I've seen people use this feature in SubEthaEdit, but you can't beat Eclipse's low, low price of free. Especially if you're already an Eclipse user, it's a pain to switch IDE if all you want is collaborative editing.

    I think this has loads of real world uses even if you're in the same room as the other person. It eliminates those collaborative "can I drive?" moments that occur when you're both hunched over the same computer. If you're stuck on a particular bit of code, you can share it with your colleague at his/her workstation and if they spot the way to fix it, they can change right there. On the whole, much more organic and less stressful than being on the same computer.

    The possibilities for pair programming are wonderful. I want it now! :)

    Also means that people dont have to sit on each other's laps eh!

    Anyone else think Ganymede is complete crap? It seems buggy and not ready for primetime. Going back to 3.3.

    Hi Mark
    Any chance you can shed some light on this? I tried it but couldn't get it to work. Not sure if cfeclipse is compatible and if so where the contexteditor id is.

    I agree with with u Kevin, Ganymede seems absolutely buggy to me. It crashes all the time. I am totally dissapointed.

    Did you ever get real time shared editing working with CFE, Mark? I saw where the DocShare plugin.xml file has to be edited to accommodate other files than .java and .txt (those work well), but couldn't out how to get .cfm or .cfc files working. (I couldn't even get the plugin.xml file open for some reason!) Ever get it working?

    In general, pizza ovens are gas or electric styles or wood models. Coal even been used as a heat source. Wood fired oven pizza is excellent, some, but delicious pizzas can be prepared almost any style pizza oven. Try this incredible new discovery: Cone Pizza!
