Rating  - The right book to start with Eclipse
This is an excellent book and I recommend it highly to start with Eclipse.
It saved me an incredible amount of time by providing the right level of information on virtually all important features of Eclipse.
This book is for people with a background in development, but new to Eclipse.
Rating  - Ok for beginers...No help for experienced users
I read this book end to end but didnt find even a single startling fact about eclipse that i didnt know already.It was more like feature round up ( which you can discover going through the menu items in eclipse IDE)
I would recommend this book for people who are absolutly new to eclipse .
Rating - Configuration Salvation
I manage multiple developers spread around the globe building product relying on the Eclipse Web Standard Tools (WST) and other parts of Eclipse. Getting each team member's IDE configured and updated was sucking up time.
Chapter 9, "Updating the Eclipse IDE," saved us time equivalent to purchasing boxes of the book. Now we have flexible, consistent, repeatable configurations that make upgrading to new versions of WST and other features easy.
We have adjusted our team's practices based on info in other chapters too.
Carlson has provided excellent information for developers who want to work more effectively in the Eclipse environment. I'm delighted with the purchase.
Rating  - The book I wanted to read.
In his forward, David Carlson writes: "This is the book I wanted to read when I started using Eclipse three years ago." Wow! And this is the book I wanted to read too!
Like husbands and wives, wrenches and nuts, hands and gloves, some things were meant to fit together, while others repel like oil and water. When I learn a new programming language, IDE, API, software program, etc. I want the basics, the practical, the stuff I really need to get going. In any of these endeavors, there is simply too much to learn to sit reading detailed information on features that just never come up for me. Give me a good grounding in the basics, and I will pick up the details on the fly when I need them.
Carlson's book will get you up to speed fast. Furthermore, it gives you the basics on several of the latest development methods with which Eclipse is compatible. He provides excellent basic discussions of Agile Development, JUnit testing, Ant, refactoring and the Concurrent Version System. He easily fits all this information into less than 300 pages.
If this approach fits you like it fits me: Quick! Buy this book and get started.
