Disclaimer

I’m not GOD at Eclipse. I’m just a human being who can look develop some stuff using Eclipse. I can look through the Eclipse source code, and make some amount of sense of what is happening; and that is how I’ve learnt and understood some of Eclipse, and continue to learn more. If you want to become GOD, then there is no alternative to looking and browsing through the Eclipse code.

This is an article to get you started with Eclipse. Although knowledge of the Eclipse Framework is not necessary, I recommend that you go through tutorial 1, tutorial 2, and tutorial 3 by Ed Burnette.

I’m sure that a lot of questions will come across your mind during the course of reading this article. Please add comments to this page in case you do come across any. I’ll try my best to answer them.

Pre-requisites

Software
Knowledge
  • Understanding of the Java Programming Language
  • Experience with using an IDE like Eclipse would be an advantage

Let’s begin

First extract the SVN repository containing the source code. Then from within Eclipse connect to this repository.

Checkout the first revision of the project “org.gnunify.insurance.core”. This plugin contains the source code for the business objects (POJOs). The POJOs are wrapped in an Eclipse plug-in.

Sriram and me spoke on eclipse plug-in development on behalf of The Pune Eclipse Developers’ Group

The talk by A. Sundararajan from Sun on opensourcing the Java implementation (OpenJDK) from Sun was very interesting.

Moinak Ghosh from Sun gave a demo on some of the advanced features of OpenSolaris.

Also got an opportunity to meet Narayan Raman and Vivek Prahlad who’d developed Sahi and frankenstein.
