Description
John Wiley Eclipse 2 For Java Developers by Daum B
Eclipse is an open source extensible IDE which enables a wide range of tool builders to build best of breed integrated tools covering the whole software lifecycle - from conceptual modeling to deployment. Eclipse is expected to be the development platform of choice for the Java community within the next few years. This book provides an introduction to the Eclipse Java IDE, showing how projects are laid out and the various facilities available to help write Java code. It: describes SWT and JFace (Eclipse's alternative to the Java AWT and Swing) and then demonstrates in practice in a JavaLayer based MP3 player; shows how Eclipse can be used as a tool platform and an application framework; and, demonstrates how to speed up development of applications by reusing and extending existing Eclipse components.
