I found Eclipse confusing at first too. I decided to stick the Oreilly eclipse book on my safari.oreilly.com bookshelf and work though it. i flew though the book 6 hours or so and it really opened of the power of Eclipse, esp. for j2ee/ant/xp projects..

Anyway I don't know if i'd buy the book but it was helpful as a guide though the various features.

In Eclipse everything you do is project based.

You first need to create a project. Then you can add files and folders to
the project by creating them in the workspace, or by linking to existing
files and folders in your file system.


There have been numerous murmerings in the eclipse community about allowing
eclipse to have more transparent access to the file system, but right now
that's the way it works.


I don't find it causes any problems. If I need to quickly edit a file that
isn't in an eclipse project I'll use textpad or something. If I'm going to
be doing more than just a quick edit I create a project or link the
containing folder to an existing project. When I'm done I delete the link or
project if I don't think I'm going to need it again.

I know some of you are using Eclipse (Spike at least!) but how
the hell do you get a page open on it?  I don't get an Open
option under File >
