Eclipse for Visual Studio developers

Scott Kellicker (scott.kellicker@acm.org), Software Developer, ACM
Scott Kellicker has been a professional software developer for more than 15 years. He has used a variety of languages, operating systems, and development tools, including Visual Studio and Eclipse. He recently developed bridge technologies using Java Native Interface (JNI) technology to allow integration of Java, C++, and proprietary languages. He also has developed applications for the computer-aided design (CAD), geographic information systems (GIS), imaging, Internet, and scientific domains.

Summary:  This tutorial demonstrates how to use the Eclipse IDE to develop Java applications. It is geared toward the Visual Studio developer, and will present Eclipse concepts and terminology in the context of Visual Studio. The tutorial walks through a simple example, from installation through debugging.

Summary

In this tutorial, you've learned to use Eclipse to develop Java applications by developing a stack project. You found that Eclipse has many similarities (and a few key differences) to Visual Studio.

  • You installed Eclipse and found your way around Perspectives, Views, and Editors.
  • You created a Java project and used the Java Perspective to write the code.
  • You learned how to run and debug a Java application.
  • You explored the refactoring and source tools.

This tutorial touched on the basics of Java development using Eclipse. Where does one go from here? Here are some ideas:

  • There is much more functionality to explore in the JDT.
  • There are many plug-ins available to extend the functionality of Eclipse. These range from small open source tools to large commercial offerings.
  • You may tailor the JDT by writing a plug-in specific to your own programming needs.
