| Java programmers know how finicky Java can be to work with.
An omitted semi-colon or the slightest typo will cause the
Java command-line compiler to spew pages of annoying error
messages across your screen. And it doesn't fix
them--that's up to you: fix them, compile again, and hope
that nothing goes wrong this time.
Eclipse, the popular Java integrated development environment
(IDE) provides an elegant and powerful remedy for this
common, frustrating scenario. It doesn't just catch your
errors before you compile, it also suggests solutions. All
you need to do is point and click. And it's free--what could
be better? Still, if you're like most programmers, mastering
a new technology--no matter how productive it will make you
in the long run--is going to take a chunk out of your
productivity now. You want to get up to speed quickly
without sacrificing efficiency.
O'Reilly's new guide to the technology, Eclipse, provides
exactly what you're looking for: a fast-track approach to
mastery of Eclipse. This insightful, hands-on book delivers
clear and concise coverage, with no fluff, that gets down to
business immediately. The book is tightly focused, covering
all aspects of Eclipse: the menus, preferences, views,
perspectives, editors, team and debugging techniques, and
how they're used every day by thousands of developers.
Development of practical skills is emphasized with dozens of
examples presented throughout the book.
From cover-to-cover, the book is pure Eclipse, covering
hundreds of techniques beginning with the most basic Java
development through creating your own plug-in editors for
the Eclipse environment. Some of the topics you'll learn
about include:
Using Eclipse to develop Java code
Testing and debugging
Working in teams using CVS
Building Eclipse projects using Ant
The Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT)
Web development
Developing Struts applications with Eclipse
From basics to advanced topics, Eclipse takes you through
the fundamentals of Eclipse and more. You may be an Eclipse
novice when you pick up the book, but you'll be a pro by the
time you've finished.
