Eclipse: Step-By-Step

Written for novice programmers who need to learn Eclipse, the new integrated, open-source development environment, this book covers three areas that are of crucial interest--Eclipse, IBM's Software Widget Toolkit (the SWT), and JDBC. Questions such as how to use the new Eclipse Integrated Development Environment; how to create a complete functioning application with Eclipse; and where to get the software, how to install it, and how to configure it are answered. Options that programmers would use in a real production to be instantly productive in Eclipse and the steps needed to take to create a program or modifying an existing program are addressed.
