[e4-dev] Do We Need a Book?

["Mike Milinkovich" <mike.milinkovich@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

 

With Eclipse 4 going mainstream in June, it occurs to us that there could very much be a need for some sort of book. I certainly defer to the much greater wisdom of the people here, but something along the lines of the following would be of great value:

 

• What is the Eclipse 4 platform? Its motivation, and its benefits.
• Why Eclipse 4 is a better RCP
• Backwards compatibility
• A migration guide on how to move your Eclipse 3.x RCP application or plug-in to native Eclipse 4.

 

Is there any group of people on this list that would be interested in working on such a book? Calling Lars Vogel, Tom Schindl, Kai Toetder, Eric Moffat, Remy Suen, and I am sure many other potential co-authors!
