Learning Eclipse RCP and SWT/JFace?

I read the first edition of the book in 2007 when I started a project with Eclipse RCP development.

I read the first edition of the book in 2007 when I started a project with Eclipse RCP development. It was a really useful introduction on how to build RCP applications and what concepts are used by Eclipse. Two other books that I read later are good follow-ups when you finished that book: Eclipse plug-ins by Eric Clayberg & Dan Rubel Contributing to Eclipse: Principles, Patterns, and Plug-Ins by Erich Gamma & Kent Beck Although the second one is a bit dated, the concepts explained are still the same in the heart of Eclipse.

Another thing I did to learn more Eclipse RCP/JFace/SWT was to look at the source code of two great open-source projects built on Eclipse: RSSOwl MP3M by Kai Tödter MP3M is especially interesting since the author tries to keep it up to date with the changes that newer Eclipse versions bring to the platform.

Thanks jwachter. So can I count on the book for introduction to both RCP as well as SWT/JFace? – msj Aug 20 '10 at 9:21 In my opinion it provides a good starting point and introduction since you're working on the same example throughout the book.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
