Plug in development environment PDE Java development tools JDT Eclipse Platform Platform Standard Java2 Virtual Machine Java VM Eclipse Plug in Architecture plug in B plug in A extension point P interface I contributes implements Plug in A Declares extension point P Declares interface I to go with P extension class C creates calls Plug in B Implements interface I with its own class C Contributes class C to extension point P Plug in A instantiates C and calls its I methods Eclipse Plug in Architecture plugin id com example tool name Example Plug in Tool class com example tool

Summary All functionality provided by plug ins Communication via extension points Includes all aspects of Eclipse Platform itself Contributing does not require plug in activation Packaged into separately installable features Downloadable Plug in Development Environment PDE Plug in development environment Specialized tools for developing Eclipse plug ins Built atop Eclipse Platform and JDT Implemented as Eclipse plug ins Using Eclipse Platform and JDT APIs and extension points Included in Eclipse Project releases Separately installable feature Part of Eclipse SDK drops PDE templates for creating simple plug in projects PDE editor for plug in manifest files PDE Summary PDE makes it easier to develop Eclipse plug ins PDE also generates Ant build scripts Compile and create deployed form of plug in Java Development Tools JDT Java development tools State of the art Java development environment Built atop Eclipse Platform Implemented as Eclipse plug ins Using Eclipse Platform APIs and extension points Included in Eclipse Project releases Available as separately installable feature Part of Eclipse SDK drops Java centric view of files in Java projects Eclipse JDT Summary JDT is a state of the art Java IDE Java views editor refactoring Java compiler Helps programmer write and maintain Java code Takes care of translating Java sources to binaries Java debugger Allows programmer to get inside the running program Eclipse Platform Eclipse Platform is the common base Consists of several key components Eclipse Platform Workbench UI JFace SWT Core Workspace Team Ant Platform Runtime Help Debug Workspace Component Workspace holds 1 or more top level projects Tree of folders and files Workbench Component Workbench JFace SWT SWT generic low level graphics and widget set JFace UI frameworks for common UI tasks Workbench UI personality of Eclipse Platform SWT SWT Standard Widget Toolkit Generic graphics and GUI widget set buttons lists text menus trees styled text Simple Small Fast OS independent API Uses native widgets where available Emulates widgets where unavailable SWT Authentic native windows look and feel JFace JFace is set of UI frameworks for common UI tasks Designed to be used in conjunction with SWT Classes for handling common UI tasks API and implementation are windowsystem independent JFace APIs Image and font registries Dialog preference and wizard frameworks Structured viewers Text infrastructure Model aware adapters for SWT tree table list widgets Document model for SWT styled text widget Coloring formatting partitioning completion Actions Location independent user commands Contribute action to menu tool bar or button Workbench Component Workbench is UI personality of Eclipse Platform UI paradigm centered around Editors Views Perspectives Team Component Version and configuration management VCM Share resources with team via a repository Repository associated at project level Extension point for new types
