orion (what's next conference)
DESCRIPTION
Eclipse is embarking on a journey towards web-based development tooling with a new effort called 'Orion'. The goal of Orion is to build developer tooling that works in the browser, at web scale. This talk will demo the current state of Orion, and explain the vision of moving software development to the web as a web experience, by enabling open tool integration through HTTP and REST, JSON, OAuth, OpenID, and others. The idea is to exploit internet design principles throughout, instead of trying to bring existing desktop IDE concepts to the browser. See http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion for more information about Orion.TRANSCRIPT

tl;dr -‐ What is Orion?
• So)ware development in the browser: edit code, navigate code, search, versioning/SCM...
• Not an IDE in the Browser -‐ a set of linked web pages
• This makes adding funcEonality easy: link to new pages, potenEally from different servers
• Current target: client-‐side web developers, working with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS

Why Orion?
•Me-‐too-‐argument:(Almost) everything else is already web-‐based
•More arguments later

SW development in the Browser
• Bug tracking (Bugzilla, JIRA, Trac, Lighthouse, RTC)
• Builds (Jenkins/Hudson, CruiseControl, Bamboo, BuildForge)
• Code review (Bugzilla, Gerrit, GitHub)
• DocumentaEon, Code Snippets
• Code repositories (GitHub, ViewCVS, Ohloh, Code Search, RTC)
• Debugger (Firebug, Web Inspector)Copyright (c) 2011 IBM CorporaEon. This work is licensed under a CreaEve Commons A9ribuEon-‐ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
What’s missing? Not much:
• Code Editor
• Navigator
• SCM (Commit, Compare, Merge, etc.)
• Indexing/Search
• Unit tests

Code Editor
• Fast
• Scalable
•Works in all desktop browsers
• Faster than desktop Eclipseeditor!

Orion Design Principles
• Regular Hyperlinks, back bu9on, bookmarking, link sharing.
• FuncEonality on separate pages. Page = Task+Resource.
• Performant and Lightweight. Speed trumps power.
• Components should have value on their own.
• Low barrier of entry for adopters. Don’t require technology buy-‐in.

IntegraEon PossibiliEes
• Hyperlinks as an integraEon mechanism.
• OSLC, OAuth: Consume and produce server APIs.
• Client-‐side plug-‐ins: adding commands to exisEng UI.
• Integrate with browser debuggers:Firebug, WebKit Inspector
• Host addiEonal UI components, e.g. OpenSocial Gadgets.

Development Tools
•We build our own tools.
• Not many other professions are like that.
•We enjoy wriEng tools!

Command Line
• Edit-‐> Compile -‐> Run
• but also:
find . -‐type f -‐name '*.png'| sort| perl -‐n -‐e 'chomp; /^.*\/([^\/]+)\.png$/; print "\t<section class=\"auto\"><hgroup><h1>".$1."</h1></hgroup><img src=\"content/" .$_. "\"></section>\n";'</p>

Command Line
• Experts can add tools.
• Powerful integraEon through file system and pipes.
• ScripEng.
• DistribuEon is a problem.

IDE
Copyright (c) 2011 IBM CorporaEon. This work is licensed under a CreaEve Commons A9ribuEon-‐ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
IDE
• Hard to add tools.
• Deep integraEon but complex APIs.
• DistribuEon is a problem (sEll).

The Web
• Easy to add tools, reachable by URL.
• DistribuEon problem is solved!
• IntegraEon -‐ How do these tools work together?

this is what Orion is about,and why we need to start now

Why now?
• Online IDEs are up and coming (e.g., Cloud 9 IDE)and to influence the direcEon, we need to play
•We need to fail, learn from mistakes, try again -‐ some things are similar to what we know about IDEs, some things not
•We (IBM) are interested in community-‐building and are contribuEng code as a seed. We want this community to form at the Eclipse FoundaEon
