Great fundamentals on JFace frameworks

This book is well written. The narrative flows conversationally and keeps your interest throughout the chapter. This book gives you a fundamental understanding of the architecture of SWT and especially of JFace. It puts the pieces together for you. Whether you are writing desktop gui applications, Eclipse plug-ins, or Eclipse Rich Client Platforms (RCP) applications, this book is an excellent starting point. Unfortunately, the chapter on RCP was full of errors and the application example did not run. But all the other book's examples ran without any errors. And its excellent explanations of the JFace frameworks make the book worth having.
