You've probably heard the buzz about Eclipse, the powerful open source
platform that gives Java developers a new way to approach development
projects. It's like a shiny new car--no longer content to just admire
Eclipse, you're now itching to get in and drive.Eclipse is to Java
developers what Visual Studio is to .NET developers--it's an integrated
development environment (IDE) that combines a code editor, compiler,
debugger, text editor, graphical user interface (GUI) builder, and other
components into a single, user-friendly application. It provides a solid
foundation that enables Java developers to construct and run integrated
software-development tools for web development, application design,
modeling, performance, testing, and much more.As with any extensive
programming tool, however, there's a lot to learn. And there s no better
guy than well-known Java expert Steve Holzner to teach you. An
award-winning and best-selling author who has been writing about Java
topics since the language first appeared, Holzner delivers just the kind
of targeted, practical, everyday knowledge you need to hone your mastery
of Eclipse.Perfect as a companion to an Eclipse programming tutorial
(such as Holzner's own Eclipse, O'Reilly, April 2004) or an ideal
stand-alone for all those developers who either don't want or don't need
the tutorial approach, the Eclipse Cookbook contains task-oriented
recipes for more than 800 situations you may encounter while using this
new Java platform--from deploying a web application automatically to
reverse engineering compiled code, from re-naming all references to a
class across multiple packages to initializing the SWT JNI
libraries.Each recipe in the ever-popular and utterly practical
problem-solution-discussion format for O'Reilly cookbooks contains a
clear and thorough description of the problem, a brief but complete
discussion of a solution, and in-action examples illustrating that
solution. The Eclipse Cookbook will satiate Java programmers at all
levels who are ready to go beyond tutorials--far beyond writing plug-ins
and extensions--and actually use the powerful and convenient Eclipse day
to day.
