EclipseCon
Eclipse is having its own convention. When you look at how many of the presentations are by IBM'ers, you have to wonder how successful Eclipse has been at attracting outside developers to the Eclipse core. Eclipse is definitely open source from a licensing point of view, but from a community point of view, the core still seems pretty closed. It takes time to build a community, and getting involved with such a big project is hard, so maybe I shouldn't be too hard on Eclipse just yet...

I think the important thing is more that Eclipse is not really an open system. They don't allow any joe blow developer to go muching in there code. Sad, actually.....
Netbeans seems to have a better community, but they don't have the marketing/PR arm that Eclipse has.
