ABSTRACT

Eclipse Day at the Googleplex
Eclipse @ Ebay
Speaker: Michael Galpin, With introduction by Ian Skerrett, Director of Marketing - Eclipse Foundation

Eclipse is great for Java development. Eclipse is great for web development. Eclipse is great for Java web development. The list goes on, but as your business becomes bigger, more specialized and more demanding, chances are that you won't find exactly what you need on that list. So what do you turn to? Eclipse. See how eBay uses the Eclipse you know and love, but also builds on top of it to handle its unique challenges.

This talk has some interesting information on Ebay's code base. Basically it's (almost) all done in Java, even generating pages and style sheets. The talk mentions (briefly) some in-house Eclipse plug-ins that are used to assist development e.g. by generating code or running code without having to go through deployment cycles. The information presented in this talk can also be found (with some additional detail) on developerWorks (Google for os-eclipse-ebay1 and os-eclipse-ebay2).

Dude, what? You replaced CSS with Java, but wrapped JavaScript with Java? That's not consistent. If you say you JavaScript + Java, then you'd have to say CSS + Java, or vice versa.
