Black Knight: Eclipse as a Smalltalk Development Environment presentation John O'Keefe and Eric Clayberg: IBM, Instantiations Monday 2:00:00 pm to 3:30:00 pm
Abstract: Smalltalk is arguably the world's most productive programming language. Eclipse is quickly approaching being the world's best development framework -- "an open extensible IDE for anything and nothing in particular". Black Knight represents the marriage of these two premier technologies. It provides a set of Smalltalk Development Tools that bring the best features of existing Smalltalk IDE's into the Eclipse world, an extensible Smalltalk class library based on the VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise code, and an executable runtime for applications developed in Smalltalk. Black Knight is an Eclipse Technology Subproject.
Bio: John O'Keefe has been doing software development since it was done with wires and patch-panels. He has been on the VisualAge Smalltalk team since 1992 and has been the Team Lead for the last 7 years. Most recently he has formed the Black Knight team to produce a new cross-dialect Smalltalk IDE.
The project name shows they have a sense of humor :)
