Both the Shavor book (The Java Developer's Guide to Eclipse) and the Gallardo book (Eclipse in Action: A Guide for the Java Developer) are good reference books. Both are geared a bit more towards people who are planning to design their own plug-ins.
This book is unique in its thorough coverage of plug-ins (extending Eclipse: want a new popup menu? code reformatter? Write it yourself!) but don't overlook its good introduction to using the Eclipse IDE itself for developing Java code, as well as a great chapter on using CVS and the Eclipse interface to CVS code respository that is part of the standard download.

Thus, I stand by my characterization of your book as "geared a bit more towards plug-in developers" as entirely accurate. Notice the words "a bit more". Man. I find it quite annoying that I take the time to plug both your book and the Gallardo book, and rather than acknowledge it you go out of your way to nitpick my statement.
This book is geared for novice users and is not meant as a reference. The book does not cover any of the Eclipse plug-ins. If you are familiar with IDEs and don't feel lost when using them then this book is probably going to be too basic for you. {my emphasis} But if you are new to IDEs and like a lot of hand holding then this book will help you to work comfortably with the product.

In my past experience as an instructor, I would shake my head when one student evaluation would praise the class content and presentation as the best they've ever seen while another would condemn it as an abject waste of their time. Were they in the same room as I was?!? Subsequently I consider 80% agreement on the success of an endevor as a runaway victory.![]()

Anyway, no hard feelings. I'm going to go back to my philosophy of not comparing our books. And the next time I plug your book, do me the favor of sending any comments in private so that I can address them? That way we can avoid the rather unseemly discourse that went on earlier. Or if you can't help yourself, then just let me know and I won't plug your work anymore.

In fact, if it was up to me I would have thrown away all the other chapters and just published your chapters.Originally posted by Dan Kehn:

Also how is VAJ when used in live projects now? I have used VAJ 3.0 when it was released and then didnt get to work on it again.
Cheers,
