In this session ELV - European Launch Vehicle (the company in charge of the development of the new Vega Space Launcher) will relate the case study of the introduction of ECLIPSE in many software areas, ranging from the management of the mission data via ECORE metamodels, trasformation of these data into code - to be used for the space mission - via ACCELEO, build up of an Eclipse RCP to manage tests, mission data and test data analysis and validation via Acceleo and data reporting via BIRT. In the presentation, a mapping of a space industry (such as ELV) needs vs the capabilities offered by Eclipse environment and its plug-ins will be examined, together with the results (in terms of improvement of process and capabilities) of the application of these technologies in ELV.

Although introduced in Eclipse a number years ago, p2 has stayed quite mysterious for many. Departing from the previous talks about p2 APIs and its overall architecture, we will introduce p2 more pragmatically presenting the relevant files (profile, content.xml, …), tools (director, mirror, …) and concepts.
At the end of this talk you should be fluent enough in p2 to do the common tasks required to deploy an application and debug basic problems.

EMF is successfully used for almost every large Eclipse project, however EMF adoption outside of Eclipse ecosystem is very low. In this talk, Renat Zubairov from Talend will discuss how EMF is used for large scale meta-modeling in non-Eclipse projects. : Smooks - the extensible data binding and processing framework. In Smooks, EMF and Eclipse modeling technologies are used for data processing applications that model the UN/EDIFACT large legacy standards. UN/EDIFACT reference models built with EMF are used to store records for 40 different directories versioned over 10 years. With 2 releases per year, the system contains around 800 large models which are interconnected with each other.

During my talk I will cover following aspects/challenges:

• Cultural challenge - Eclipse modeling is highly coupled and can't be used without Eclipse
• Using EMF artifacts for Maven Builder - where to find artifacts, how to use them
• Re-use of artifacts with and without Eclipse platform - tips and tricks for packaging and deployment
• Deploying EMF-based application on Google cloud - appengine and EMF
