Corona 1.0.0M4 Demo

The demo of Corona 1.0.0M4 is now available. This demo was shown at EclipseWorld 2006 and illustrates the enablement of Eclipse Workbenches participating in a Workgroup. The demo highlights technologies from the Corona and ECF projects.

The demo will start 3 instances of Eclipse. The 1st instance is a non-UI Eclipse environment that is the Corona server. This is a server-side Eclipse environment used to host OSGi bundles and non-UI Eclipse plugins. The 2nd and 3rd instances are Eclipse Workbenches that will participate with each other in a Workgroup.

Instructions for downloading, setting up, and running the demo are available on the Corona’s wiki.

Your contributions are greatly appreciated. Please post any feedback or comments to Cornoa’s wiki, newsgroup, or development mailing list.
