Eclipse Ide

This handy reference starts out by explaining important IDE concepts like Views and Editors and how they work in Eclipse. Java developers will appreciate the command reference for common, repetitive tasks and coverage of Perspectives and Launch Configurations. Included in this book are instructions for debugging and integration with tools like Ant, JUnit, and CVS. With just enough background and overview to get Java developers oriented, this book's real focus is on building practical, applicable hands-on development tools with Eclipse and all of it's many Java plug-ins.

Ed Burnette is editor of the articles section at eclipse.org, and author of the web site's "The Rich Client Platform (RCP) Tutorial" series.
