Book Description

Whatever level of Java programming you’re at, this book is a revelation. It enables you to begin using Eclipse Juno to automate common development tasks and much more. A practical guide to Integrated Development Environments.

  • Learn subjects ranging from basic Java development to web app development, version control, and GUI programming
  • Discover how to use Eclipse to develop, test, and debug basic desktop Java applications proficiently
  • Integrate JUnit 4, the most widely used unit testing framework, into Eclipse
  • Get to grips with how Eclipse can be used to develop web-based Java applications that employ Java Servlets and JavaServer Pages

In Detail

Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as Eclipse are examples of tools that help developers by automating an assortment of software development-related tasks. By reading this book you will learn how to get Eclipse to automate common development tasks, which will give you a boost of productivity.

Getting Started with Eclipse Juno is targeted at any Java programmer interested in taking advantage of the benefits provided by a full-fledged IDE. This book will get the reader up to speed with Eclipse’s powerful features to write, refactor, test, debug, and deploy Java applications.

This book covers all you need to know to get up to speed in Eclipse Juno IDE. It is mainly tailored for Java beginners that want to make the jump from their text editors to a powerful IDE. However, seasoned Java developers not familiar with Eclipse will also find the hands-on tutorials in this book useful.

The book starts off by showing how to perform the most basic activities related to implementing Java applications (creating and organizing Java projects, refactoring, and setting launch configurations), working up to more sophisticated topics as testing, web development, and GUI programming.

This book covers managing a project using a version control system, testing and debugging an application, the concepts of advanced GUI programming, developing plugins and rich client applications, along with web development.
