How to develop, build, test, package, and release Eclipse plug-ins with features for Eclipse 3.x and Eclipse 4.x
Overview
Create plug-ins to extend the Eclipse runtime covering Eclipse 3.x and the changes required for Eclipse 4.x
Plug-ins from design to distribution — wide coverage of the entire process
No prior OSGi or Eclipse plug-in development experience necessary
In Detail
As a highly extensible platform, Eclipse is used by everyone from independent software developers to NASA. Key to this is Eclipse’s plug-in ecosystem, which allows applications to be developed in a modular architecture and extended through its use of plug-ins and features.
"Eclipse Plugin Development by Example: Beginner's Guide" takes the reader through the full journey of plug-in development, starting with an introduction to Eclipse plug-ins, continued through packaging and culminating in automated testing and deployment. The example code provides simple snippets which can be developed and extended to get you going quickly.
This book covers basics of plug-in development, creating user interfaces with both SWT and JFace, and interacting with the user and execution of long-running tasks in the background.
Example-based tasks such as creating and working with preferences and advanced tasks such as well as working with Eclipse’s files and resources. A specific chapter on the differences between Eclipse 3.x and Eclipse 4.x presents a detailed view of the changes needed by applications and plug-ins upgrading to the new model. Finally, the book concludes on how to package plug-ins into update sites, and build and test them automatically.
What you will learn from this book
How to create plug-ins for Eclipse 3.x and 4.x and automatically test plug-ins with JUnit
How to display tree and table information in views
What are the specific differences between the Eclipse 3.x model and the Eclipse 4.x model
How and when to build user interfaces from SWT and JFace
How to run tasks in the background and update the user interface asynchronously
How to build plug-ins, features and update sites with Maven Tycho and automate user interface tests with SWTBot
How to store and obtain preferences, and how to integrate with the Preferences panel
How to work with the Eclipse resources model for creating and updating files and reporting errors to the user
Approach
A Beginner's Guide following the "by Example" approach. There will be 5-8 major examples that will be used in the book to develop advanced plugins with the Eclipse IDE.
Who this book is written for
This book is for Java developers who are familiar with Eclipse as a Java IDE and are interested in learning how to develop plug-ins for Eclipse. No prior knowledge of Eclipse plug-in development or OSGi is necessary, although you are expected to know how to create, run, and debug Java programs in Eclipse.

Producing a commercial-quality plug-in means going above and beyond the minimal requirements needed to integrate with Eclipse. It means attending to all those details that contribute to the “fit and polish” of a commercial offering. This comprehensive guide covers the entire process of plug-in development, including all the extra steps needed to achieve the highest quality results.
Building on two internationally best-selling previous editions, Eclipse Plug-ins, Third Edition, has been fully revised to reflect the powerful new capabilities of Eclipse 3.4. Leading Eclipse experts Eric Clayberg and Dan Rubel present detailed, practical coverage of every aspect of plug-in development, as well as specific, proven solutions for the challenges developers are most likely to encounter.
All code examples, relevant API listings, diagrams, and screen captures have been thoroughly updated to reflect both the Eclipse 3.4 API and the latest Java syntax. In addition, Clayberg and Rubel have completely revamped their popular Favorites View case study, reworking much of its content and recreating its code from scratch. The authors carefully cover new functionality added to existing Eclipse features, such as views and editors, and fully explain brand-new features such as Commands, GEF, and PDE Build.
This extensively revised edition
Thoroughly covers Eclipse’s new preferences
Illuminates the powerful new Eclipse Command Framework, which replaces Eclipse’s older Action Framework
Presents extensive new discussions of using commands with views and editors
Introduces Mylyn, the new task-focused interface that reduces information overload and simplifies multi-tasking
Contains an all-new chapter on using the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) to build dynamic, interactive graphical user interface elements
Walks you step by step through the entire PDE Build process
Shows how to create update sites with p2, which replaces Eclipse’s old Update Manager
