Features: Most Eclipse books discuss how to use the Eclipse framework to write applications, but O'Reilly's Eclipse books treat Eclipse as a development tool, not just a platform for designing window widgets. Therefore, this book is written for any Java programmer, whether you are an IDE expert who wants to master it or a seasoned programmer who wants to stop writing programs with Notepad and vi. This book covers all aspects of Eclipse, from the menu system to Ant integration, to advanced plug-in development. This book doesn't just talk about what certain tables and lists do, but explains in detail how Eclipse is used in daily work, adding more sought-after practical content beyond theory and concepts. The topics of this book are as follows:
· Eclipse Java Development Tool and Workspace.
· How to integrate with Ant to let Eclipse automatically create projects.
· How to integrate with CVS for team software development.
· Advanced debugging tools and techniques in Eclipse.
· How to write Swing applications.
· In-depth discussion of SWT, including buttons, label text, sliders, events, tree structures, tables, etc.
· JSP and Servlet development.
· Eclipse/Tomcat integration, allowing software configuration and container management to be done within the Eclipse environment.
· Developing Struts applications with Eclipse, including Eclipse's support for Struts plug-ins.
· Eclipse plug-in development environment, allowing you to develop your own plug-ins.
Each topic is presented clearly, concisely, and profoundly. O'Reilly's tradition is "," (meaning highly valued and every word is meaningful). Each chapter and section starts with an introduction but quickly introduces common techniques, focusing on them. The entire book uses nearly 100 practical examples.
