3-D modeling with SketchUp and Eclipse, Part 1: Creating the bridge between SketchUp and Eclipse
One of Google's most recent and popular tools, SketchUp, takes the pain
out of 3-D modeling. Not only does SketchUp make it easy to
create designs manually but it also allows you to automate the design process
with Ruby scripts. Because managing and editing these scripts is so important,
it helps to have a full-featured development environment like Eclipse. Learn
how to configure SketchUp and Eclipse so you can edit scripts in Eclipse
and automatically execute them in SketchUp.

Create an Eclipse game plug-in, Part 2: Building and firing a BB gun
Although most users think of Eclipse as an integrated development environment for building Java technology applications, it is really something much more basic. Eclipse is a framework for building plug-ins, allowing you to extend its functionality to solve nearly any problem -- just by leveraging a set of APIs and readily available libraries. In this four-part "Create an Eclipse game plug-in" tutorial series, you will solve a pressing problem most programmers encounter daily: how to break away to play a quick video game without switching applications and making it obvious. You'll develop a simple game that will read the bugs entered on the a view and blast them to bits. The game will run inside Eclipse as a plug-in, that will demonstrate how to write to the Eclipse API, while using the Standard Widget Toolkit, the Open Graphics Library, and the Lightweight Java Games Library.

design still allows you to develop sophisticated GUIs with surprisingly little
code. In this "Using the Eclipse GUI outside the Eclipse Workbench" series, you
can learn how to build just such a stand-alone application. Part 1 starts with a Hello World
example and builds, step by step, into a simple file explorer. Get acquainted
with some of the major JFace classes (and a few SWT widgets), along with
tips, tricks, and design issues.

Eclipse has become the premier integrated development environment (IDE) for Java
developers everywhere. Eclipse is definitely not a one-size-fits-all system, though.
Its plug-in architecture allows you to add the features you need. This is even more
important in large organizations like eBay. Such organizations have very specific
needs. Eclipse makes it easy to not only tailor a solution to those needs but also to
scale that solution across a large organization. Here in Part 2 of a two-part "Eclipse
at eBay" series, we will look at some of the organizational needs of eBay and how it has
used Eclipse to fill those needs. We will concentrate on how eBay has used Eclipse, but
the beauty is that you can employ similar tactics for your organization.

Como Depurar Aplicações Perl com o Eclipse
A depuração de aplicações Perl pode ser um processo frustrante. Muitos programadores de Perl dependem das instruções de impressão e da chamada "depuração post mortem". Outros usam o depurador de Perl embarcado. Nenhuma das duas opções fornecem um ambiente de execução coerente para monitorar a execução de um script e nenhumas das duas suporta a depuração de um script Common Gateway Interface (CGI) durante a execução. Neste tutorial, vamos dar uma olhada na funcionalidade oferecida pelo plug-in Eclipse Perl Integration (EPIC) no Eclipse, que oferece um ambiente de depuração rico disponível e embarcado ao ambiente de desenvolvimento EPIC Perl.

Mobile workforce operational support using Eclipse RCP
The modern workforce is increasingly mobile, with many jobs performed in
the field, far from standard workplace tools, such as desk-bound computers and
wired networks. Even for more mobile devices,
connectivity is limited to wireless accessible areas. Learn about
the development of a Mobile Workforce Framework based on the open source
Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) for supporting teams who must work in
remote areas with limited or no network access. This article
focuses on the value of a common open source platform to myriad remote teams, the reduction in paper and travel to perform synchronization,
and improved paper-free access to critical information when "off the net."
The Mobile Workforce Framework project, also known as Maestro,
illustrates how many architectural drivers like synchronization, plug-in
functionality, and offline support are met by the using the Eclipse RCP.

Jump-start your PHP applications with the Eclipse PHP Class Generator plug-in
PHP classes can sometimes still be a black box, a big unknown to many new and
some old-school PHP developers. But it doesn't have to be that way. Classes help
modularize code and remove extraneous copies of code scattered throughout the code base
by placing the code into functions within classes. This helps make maintaining
your code much easier. That's what the PHP Class Generator plug-in for Eclipse helps
PHP developers do: generate PHP classes to help manage database tables, so you don't
have to, which helps speed up the learning curve.

Execute business processes with Eclipse
Everyone -- from consultants and analysts to architects and engineers -- has
ideas. But implementing a new idea can be challenging, requiring knowledge of an
unfamiliar development language or hiring costly developers. What if there was a way to
create an executable business process using a graphical editor that can ultimately be
executed on an appropriate engine? Well, there is. Using the Eclipse STP BPMN Modeler,
you can graphically create a business model represented in XML that can be converted to
an executable using Eclipse ATL that will ultimately deploy on Apache ODE.

Unit testing the Eclipse way
Does your legacy code demand a matching test suite of classes to run against its source code base? For such purposes, jMock qualifies
as a great testing framework. However, not all cases may suit the occasion, especially when you must construct objects in a manner that jMock
doesn't expect. To avoid the hassle of producing suites of custom mock objects to support the unit tests in an application, you can tailor RMock to
work with jMock seamlessly to achieve a positive result.

Simplify Eclipse classpaths using classpath containers
Eclipse classpath containers are an organized, user-friendly way to manage Java libraries in Eclipse. Since a group of libraries can be referenced as one abstract name, they can be removed and added as a single entry easily. The view of the libraries is also simplified in the Java Perspective as a single entry that can be expanded to view the entire set. Since the set of libraries is defined by an implementation of IClasspathContainer, it can be redefined dynamically. This tutorial shows how to implement a custom IClasspathContainer with accompanying extensions of classpathContainerInitializer and classpathContainerPage.
