Features: Eclipse has had a profound impact on the Java world. It is an open-source platform for developing cutting-edge programs, components, and web sites. This book is an exploration of the powerful extension capabilities of Eclipse 3. Berthold Daum shows readers how to use this powerful Java IDE to easily code, test, debug, and deploy applications. The book demonstrates how to write code efficiently and organize development projects correctly. Through the process of creating an MP3 player, it unravels the mysteries of the SWT and JFace libraries. The book also introduces how to develop your own products on thick-client platforms. This book is primarily aimed at Java programmers who use Eclipse to develop their professional applications. The book covers the installation, configuration, and use of Eclipse; the organization and key features of the Eclipse workbench; important concepts in Eclipse, such as preferences, views, and perspectives; how to use Eclipse for efficient programming and code organization; the Java debugger and JUnit unit testing in Eclipse; Eclipse's support for team development; the mysteries of the SWT and JFace libraries; and how to develop your own products based on the Eclipse platform: the plugin architecture of Eclipse; and discusses the thick-client platform RCP.
