Eclipse Section in Dr. Dobb's Journal
The October issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal features four Eclipse articles:
- Penumbra: Simplifying Eclipse by Frank Mueller and Antony L. Hosking
- The Eclipse Visual Editor for Java by Michael Pilone
- Refactoring with Eclipse by Hugo Troche
- Eclipse 3.0's Rich Client Platform by Gene Sally and Maciej Halasz
This is the second issue that contains an Eclipse section. Last month they covered the CDT and EMF.
If you are into Eclipse, you probably want to get these two issues of DDJ.
