Hawaii Eclipse User’s Group
A local user group is forming for Eclipse, an open source, Java-centric Integrated Development Environment with an active and growing developer community. The Eclipse Hawaii User’s Group, or eHug, is one of several regional communities devoted to Eclipse, and it is planning its first meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 16 at IBM’s Honolulu office (1240 Ala Moana Blvd.).
eHug maintains an informational page on the Eclipsepedia wiki (including slides from the group’s organizational meetings), and a mailing list. The group’s coordinator is Greg Hester, CEO of Pacific Hi-Tech and a product manager at HMSA. [Hawaii Blog]

We are very excited to launch the Eclipse Hawaii User’s Group (eHug) here in Honolulu. Eclipse has been a lifesaver for me personally on many projects, saving both time and headaches. Our group would like to help others find out about the Eclipse tool set and how to apply it to their applications. Come Join us at IBM on Sept 16th for food and a discussion of Web Services Development in Eclipse.

I returned to Hawaii in January 2008 from Boston where Eclipse was very big. I met Greg and we have hopes that the eHug will allow the Eclipse community in Hawaii to grow. From some of the meetings and discussions with local developers there are many folks that major in other development environments and minor in Eclipse/Java. We hope that the eHug will be a positive group to network, learn, contribute and help you develop a new major.
