With the speed at which Eclipse is evolving, I'd recommend waiting for a
few months to buy a book. Otherwise, the book would probably be out of
date even before it hit the shelves.

Agreed, pretty much the best documentation for getting up to speed with
Eclipse is the docs that are included with Eclipse itself. Poke around
in the Help system, or browse them online:
http://help.eclipse.org/help31/topic/org.eclipse.platform.do c.user/gettingStarted/qs-01.htm
http://help.eclipse.org/help31/topic/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.use r/gettingStarted/qs-BasicTutorial.htm

Hope this helps,

But getting back to the original question (MIK wanted to increase his
development speed) -- at EclipseCon this year, someone told me that last
year some group was giving out "cheat sheets" with the "best practices
of keyboard shortcuts" ... anyone have one of those they could post? I
know that *I* learned two new shortcuts this EclipseCon that will make
my life a lot easier. (I'd share them with you, but they would show just
how ignorant of shortcuts I was!)

And as for David's "I'd wait" ... sounds like the early days of PCs,
where any month of wait saved you hundreds of dollars OR greatly
increased your speed... I waited a long time before realizing the
treadmill would NEVER stop. Sometimes you have to buy KNOWING it's going
to be out of date.

Eclipse Distilled and Eclipse FAQ's are both great books. Check them out
on Amazon.com

There isn't a good book that covers WTP - the person who commented about
it being too soon was right in respect of WTP.

But if you want an overall book on Eclipse, I can recommend the Java
Developer's Guide to Eclipse, 2nd Edition by Jim D'Anjou, Scott
Fairbrother, Dan Kehn, John Kellerman, Pat McCarthy. I have no
relationship to these folks, and have nothing to gain, it's just a good
book.
