Résumé :
The definitive guide to Eclipse rich client development - fully revised toreflect Eclipse 3.4's major enhancements? Hands-on, practical, and thorough: builds on the highly-successful First Edition that isalready the industry's #1 source of information on rich client Eclipse development? Covers Eclipse 3.4's improvements for designing, coding, and packaging RCPapplications - information too new to appear in any other book!? Includes extensive real-world, non-trivial working code examples SummaryEclipse is more than a state-of-the-art IDE: together with the Eclipse RCPplug-ins, it's an outstanding foundation for any desktop application, frommedia players to enterprise software front-ends. What's more, the new Eclipse3.4 offers even more powerful capabilities for designing, coding, and packagingrich client applications. In Eclipse Rich Client Platform, Second Edition,leaders of the Eclipse RCP project show exactly how to leverage thesecapabilities for rapid, efficient, cross-platform desktop development.Building on their highly praised First Edition, the authors walk step-by-stepthrough developing a fully-featured, branded RCP application. They introducea wide range of techniques, including developing pluggable and dynamicallyextensible systems; using third party code libraries; and packaging applicationsfor diverse environments. Readers will build a complete prototype, refine andrefactor it, customize user interfaces, add Help and Update features, then build,brand, and ship finished software. Along the way, the authors cover each keyRCP-related technology, including Equinox, SWT, and JFace to OSGi; anddemonstrate best-practice solutions to the unique challenges of Eclipse RCPdevelopment.Hands-on, pragmatic, and comprehensive, this book offers the real-world, nontrivialcode examples working developers need - as well as deep dives intokey technical areas that can make all the difference in building successfulapplications.
