I am here at the Chancery Pavilion attending the Day 2 proceedings of Eclipse India Summit 2009 organised by saltmarch.

The Morning session started with a plenary talk from Mr Dhiraj Bhandari from Oracle .He talked about OEPE (Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse),ORM WorkBench and Jax-Ws Webservices.He also touched upon a new feature from OEPE called Fast Swap which will help the developers in faster iterative development.

He gave a short introduction about Google AppEngine and How to get started with Google AppEngine,How to access data on the cloud,and How to develop & deploy your applications to AppEngine using Eclipse.
