Eclipse: Step-by-Step (Step-by-Step series)

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.
