Good Eclipse tutorials? [message #126712]

I'm new to Eclipse and find that many elements of the interface are not
intuitive. The documentation at:
http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp
is of some help, though something more in the style of:
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/eclipse.html
focusing on the non-intuitive parts of Eclipse would be better.

Do people have recommendations of good material to read?

These look like good articles for advanced topics, but I am looking for
material that helps a new user get started and explains the non-obvious
parts of the interface. As an example, I started a thread "Undo and redo
buttons: how to add to toolbar" to ask about one of the parts of the
interface that was non-obvious to me, and for which I could not find an
answer when I looked through the material at
http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp.

From the site you mention above (or from the Eclipse Help contents
launched directly from Eclipse itself), I'd recommend starting with the
Getting Started sections under Workbench User Guide and Java Development
User Guide. Those tutorials will go a long way to helping you understand
how it works.

HTH,

indefinitely delayed by the publisher unfortunately. The first edition
only covers Eclipse 2.x.
