Help needed getting started with a new application [message #261051]

I am very new to Eclipse and would like some guidance. I wish to develop an
application whose interface is very similar to the IDE with a number of
resizable panels each with a tabbed pane in it but which must be able to run
outside of Eclipse itself.

Where do I start, just broadly speaking? Could someone direct me to those
areas of the source which are relevant to building an interface of that
kind?

Your help would be greatly appreciated as the amount of available source to
go through is imposing.

You might want to read up on RCP, the Rich Client Platform. This provides
the framework in which Eclipse runs, but without the application. So all
this work is done for you. You will find lots of references to it on the
Eclipse web site and in the archive for this newsgroup.
