My primary interest is in the runtime platform itself and the Java tools.
This isn't really about learning what is needed to be able to write
plug-ins. More like getting a deep understanding of how Eclipse is put
together.

Thanks,

The only way to really understand the internals is to look at the
code... Starting with class comments and digging down from there. There
is some documentation on the platform runtime, found here:

Once you're done with that, if you want to understand a little of what
the workbench (editors and views) is trying to do, check out
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/*checkout*/platform -ui-home/workbench_design/Inside%20the%20workbench.html
