"Eclipse": Push the Java Programming Envelope
Sebastopol, CA--Eclipse, the popular Java integrated development
environment (IDE), provides an elegant, powerful, and (best of all) free
remedy for Java's exacting programming requirements. When that overlooked
typo causes the Java command-line compiler to spew pages of annoying error
messages, Eclipse comes to the rescue, catching errors and suggesting
solutions. Still, no matter how productive it will make you in the long
run, tackling a new technology like Eclipse is bound to take a chunk out
of your efficiency at first. Eclipse (O'Reilly, US $44.95), by Steve
Holzner, was written to smooth out that learning curve.
"If you've never used Eclipse before, your productivity is about to take a
giant jump," promises Holzner. "This is a programmer-to-programmer book,
written to bring you up to speed in Eclipse without wasting time." A
popular member of the MIT and Cornell faculties for many years and an
award-winning author, Holzner knows how to present material in a clear,
concise manner.
Eclipse provides a fast-track approach to mastery of Eclipse,
approaching the technology as a development tool, not just a platform for
making interesting widgets. The book delves into all aspects of
Eclipse--from menus, preferences, and views to perspectives, editors,
team, and debugging techniques--and how they're used every day by
thousands of developers. Hands-on skills are developed and emphasized in
dozens of examples presented throughout the book. Eclipse also includes
a chapter on the 3.0 release.
Each section of the book starts with an overview, then describes related
techniques in detail. A few of the many topics addressed include:
Using Eclipse to develop Java code
Working with JAR files
Setting launch configurations
Selecting Java runtimes
Creating Javadoc
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 is a focused and insightful
guide to this user-friendly environment that enables developers to build
tools for web development; application design and modeling; performance
and testing; and much more, using the Java programming language.
