Launched in November 20001, Eclipse is an open source, language neutral tool integration platform for developing Internet applications. The authors (members of the IBM Eclipse Jumpstart Team) describe the navigation and terminology of the environment and explain how to use the Java programming language within Eclipse. They then discuss the building of plugins and other necessities of application building. Finally, exercises designed to teach the writing of relevant code are included. The CD-ROM contains Eclipse SDK Version 2.0 and some exercise solutions and code examples. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
