Moving to New Domain

Marco Maccaferri — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 08:01:47 -0000

This is not a really big news since many of you already know that the location of the subversion repository was changed in the past months, however I want to officialize the changes and notify some other changes, as well as show that the project is still actively developed.

The project is now hosted on its own domain http://www.eclipsetrader.org using Trac http://trac.edgewall.org an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. The subversion repository is now located at http://svn.eclipsetrader.org/svnroot/eclipsetrader.

Using Trac and our own subversion repository has many advantages. The issue tracker can be accessed using Mylyn http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/ from within Eclipse. We have full access to the subversion repository settings, so it is now possible to have more fine grained permissions and allow contributors to work on specific branches or features.

In the next days, I'll move the mailing lists to the new host and close the mailing lists and discussion forums on Sourceforge. All discussions will take place on the mailing lists only, they are more easy to manage and partecipate.

Since we are using Trac for issue tracking, the Sourceforge tracker will be disabled shortly.

Sourceforge will continue to serve the files downloads and will be a mirror for the EclipseTrader update site.

Enjoy!

EclipseTrader 0.30 Released

Marco Maccaferri — Fri, 18 May 2007 09:42:21 -0000

EclipseTrader 0.30 has been released. EclipseTrader is a stock exchange analysis
system, featuring shares pricing watch, intraday and history charts with
technical analysis indicators, level II/market depth view, news watching,
automated trading systems, integrated trading.

What's new in this release:

This release features only a bunch of bugfixes and very few enhancements.

The original plan was to release a fully rewritten automated trading system (ATS)
but there is still much work to be done and it was about time to build a new release,
so here it is, without the ATS component that will be completed, hopefully, with the
next release.

The next release is scheduled toward the end of July, after the release of Eclipse 3.3
and the necessary changes to make EclipseTrader compatible with the new SDK.

Yahoo plugin update

Marco Maccaferri — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 09:55:26 -0000

Due to the recent changes in the Yahoo historical data stream (see http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4128620\) I have published an update for the Yahoo plugin that fixes these problems.

The update is available from the Update site:

In EclipseTrader open Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install. Select 'Search for updates of the currently installed features' and click Finish. You should see the mirror selection dialog for the Eclipse RCP feature and, after selecting on of the mirrors, the list of updated features. The EclipseTrader feature should be already selected, if not, select it. Ignore the Eclipse 3.2.1 patch update it isn't necessary and may cause problems. Click on Finish and install the updated plugin. Restart EclipseTrader and all should work well.

To correctly see the chart data, you need to delete the old, incorrect, data. To do so you can either delete the contents of the workspace/history directory (close EclipseTrader first) and update all charts, or you can open the chart settings (Edit -> Settings...), click on 'Clear chart data', save, and update the chart.

No release this week

Marco Maccaferri — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 06:57:29 -0000

As you may have noticed, the recent releases were made on a bi-weekly basis, in an attempt to get a regular and predictable release schedule.
Unfortunately I haven't had enough time to work on EclipseTrader in the past days, so the new release planned for today can't be build.
I'll try to get back to a regular release schedule as soon as possible.
