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

"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 ;)
