Eclipse is a widely recognized open source project dedicated to providing a platform for developing integrated tools. Throughout the history of Eclipse the development team was successful in hitting projected delivery dates with precision and quality. This isn't possible without a team strongly committed to ship quality software. How is this really done? How does Eclipse achieve quality and just-in-time delivery?This talk sheds light on the key practices of the Eclipse development process - from the development mantras "Always Beta", "Milestones First", "API First", and "Performance First" to practices such as ensuring quality through multiple feedback loops. Erich will reflect on proven practices for managing a large project performed by geographically dispersed teams and open source contributors in a highly competitive market. Most of these practices have evolved in the open source project, but they are equally applicable to closed source projects and will help to improve quality, timeliness and reduce development stress in both types of environments.

ET++ is an object-oriented application framework implemented in C++ for a UNIX† environment and a conventional window system. The architecture of ET++ is based on MacApp and integrates a rich collection of user interface building blocks as well as basic data structures to form a homogeneous and extensible system. The paper describes the graphic model and its underlying abstract window system interface, shows composite objects as a substrate for declarative layout specification of complex dialogs, and presents a model for editable text allowing the integration of arbitrary interaction objects.
