Eclipse RCP Tutorial updated to Helios

I’m happy to announce that I updated the Eclipse RCP Tutorial to Helios. Looking at the revision history I was (again) surprised that I maintain this tutorial since Sep. 2007.

This time I made a full cycle; I tried not only to adjust the tutorial to the minor UI changes in Eclipse Helios but also to re-structure the tutorial and the text to improve it’s readability. I added more pictures which hopefully make the Plugin concept easier to understand.

Please note that the URL has changed to http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseRCP/article.html so in case you have saved this link I encourage you to update this to the new URL. But URL forwarding is setup so don’t worry to much.

I hope this tutorial continue to help new RCP developers to find their way into the fascinating world of plugin and RCP development.

Have fun hacking Eclipse RCP! :-)

    Thanks Lars, what is different in terms of API compared to the last version of your great tutorial?

  2. Lars Vogel Says:

    @Kai AFAIK there were no relevant API change in Eclipse 3.6 for this tutorial. So the update contains mainly screenshots, re-structuring of the text, more images, etc….

    Perfect tutorial for newbies like me =) Thanks!
    But, one question -how download sources as whole eclipse project?

  4. Lars Vogel Says:

    @Evgin I assume you mean the examples for the tutorial? Currently I don’t have a download option for the tutorials.
