This book has really helped me

I'm no Java jock, though I have done small projects in it and know it enough to be a Java fan. I downloaded Eclipse and almost immediately was confused by the discrepancies in the tutorial with what I was seeing on the screen, so I bought this book. The introductory chapter alone was enough to give me a broad perspective on where I could go with Eclipse (and SWT and JFace), and the first couple of chapters got me started to the extent where I could easily proceed with my new project, run Junit tests within Eclipse, etc.

I think it's a fine book so far, for a person who already knows the basics of Java but doesn't need to be an expert. I find the whole Eclipse thing to be tremendously exciting, actually.
