Hi,

Gamma, Beck, 'Contributing to Eclipse: Principles, Patterns and Plugins',
Addison Wesley, 2004 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0321205758)
has been recommended to me as a good book for plug-in development. I
notice it covers Eclipse 2, not 3. Does anyone know if the platform
changed so significantly between these releases as to make (parts of) this
book inappropriate for Eclipse 3?

Thanks,

Michael Pacione

I like the Clayberg and Rubel book "Eclipse: Building Commercial-Quality
Plug-Ins"

"Contributing to Eclipse" mostly sticks to general principles that apply
to every version of Eclipse from 1.0 to 3.1. I would say almost all of
its contents are still relevant and useful today. However, it of course
won't tell you anything about platform features that are new in Eclipse
3.0, of which there are quite a few. There are several books that cover
Eclipse 3.0, but I will abstain from making a recommendation since I am
likely biased ;)
