I'm undertaking the task of developing an Eclipse Plug-in to use the

to the Jalopy Plugin).
I've looked at a lot of the articles on developing plugins and nothing seems
to fit what I want to do.
For those of you who are developing plugins for Eclipse/WSAD, I'd like to
know what articles and reference material that you found the most helpful in
getting started with learing to develope plugins. What web sites were the
most helpful, what sample plugins were you able to learn the most from? Any
help you can provide would be most appreciated.

At the risk of apparently flagrant self-promotion, I'll suggest my recent

( http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os- ecjdt/).
developerWorks has a lot of other good articles on Eclipse plug-in
development. At an even bigger risk, I'll suggest that you may be able to
adapt solution #3 described here
( ftp://www6.software.ibm.com/software/developer/library/os-ec jdt/solution-do
c/index.html) to your needs. If I correctly understand what you're trying
to do, it is slightly less involved than what that solution presents
(depends if you want to allow sub-formatting or only full source formatting;
the former will require some AST analysis, as presented in the solution).

Dan,
I ordered your book from BookPool about a week ago and it showed up
today. I was impressed with the one article so much, that I bought the
book. I like having everything in front of me.
Where can I find the API documentation (JavaDoc) for the Eclipse core
stuff? It it somewhere readly available and in a form I can easily use?
Thanks for the response..

I am glad you liked the article (and hopefully the book). If you have
suggestions, comments, corrections, whatever... we'd appreciate them. FYI,
there are a couple errata items on the publisher's website that you may want
to glance at (http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0321159640) related to
the JFace Text exercise.

You can browse the JavaDoc online (it is well hidden on eclipse.org at
http://eclipse.org/documentation/main.html) or by selecting "Help Contents"
from the Eclipse workbench. Here specifically is the section you mentioned:
http://help.eclipse.org/help20/content/help:/org.eclipse.pla tform.doc.isv/re
ference/api/org/eclipse/core/runtime/package-summary.html. There are also a
lot of really well written articles on eclipse.org and developerWorks.
