The Eclipse Workbench, at the most fundamental level, is merely a platform for software development tools and provides little functionality on its own. However, with the appropriate plug-in components, the Eclipse platform is capable of supporting any type of software development. It is most commonly used for developing using the Java programming language, in large part because the SDK version of Eclipse includes the Java Development Toolkit (JDT) which together with the basic Eclipse platform, provide a full-featured Java IDE. 

This course gives an introduction to the Eclipse platform, tools and plug-ins.

Course Topics:

• Getting Started with the Eclipse Workbench
• Working Effectively with the Eclipse JDT
• Creating and Running Java Applications
• Debugging Java Applications
• Refactoring
• Source Manipulation
• Plug-ins for Eclipse

Course Duration - 1 day (8 hours)
