Eclipse for Dummies Review by Mike
Decent Book, but a little dated
These days anyone who writes a book on a software tool has to offer something over the standard online documentation.
Eclipse is a behemoth so is a potentially good candidate. This book may have filled a need when wrritten, but the tools and the documentation have moved on since. It provides decent basic coverage and is easy to read, but needs to be updated. the book is not totally useless yet, but it's reaching its end of life.
There are now googleable online tutorials that are better than this book now.
I prefer Eclipse: Building Commercial-Quality Plug-ins (2nd Edition) (The Eclipse Series), as it's more current (2006 as opposed to 2004) and more comprehensive.
