That's right, IBM actually put a lot of money and effort into eclipse, and want us to know about that.

This one is also great : http://www.eclipse.org/articles/using-perspectives/PerspectiveArticle.html it teaches how to create a perspective How to write a debugger for eclipse : http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Debugger/how-to.html And this is the page where you can find lots of technicle articles. http://www.eclipse.org/articles/index.html And this is the documentation for users : http://www.eclipse.org/documentation/main.html To download it, click the huge "Eclipse SDK 3.1.2" link here : http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ Un{zip|tar} it, launch the executable, and you're on ! As is, you really won't do much except edit java code, but you can add tons of plug-ins to do everything from UML modeling to regexp debugging, etc...
