Advanced Eclipse Plug-in Development (EC-601)
This course is focused on the advanced design and development of application plug-ins for the Eclipse environment. The first part of the course focuses on acquiring an understanding of the Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment (PDE), highlighting areas of concern for application plug-in development. The latter part covers additional aspects of productizing, publishing, branding and distributing Eclipse application plug-ins.
Attendees perform hands on Eclipse plug-in development using The Right Tool for Linux. Approximately 50% of the course is given over to practical work.

Overview
A four day course on developing advanced Eclipse application plug-ins. The course focuses on more advanced topics in the development and creation of application plug-ins within the Eclipse framework.
Course Objectives
- To give you practical experience developing more advanced application plug-ins within the Eclipse environment
- To gain an understanding of the complexities of complete application plug-in development within the PDE
- To give you the confidence to apply these new concepts to your next Eclipse plug-in development project
Students Will Learn
- The terminology and use of the Eclipse framework and its use with multiple Operating Systems
- Creating, initializing and Debugging New Plug-ins
- How to use Extensions, Dialogs, and Wizards
- Communication Methods Between Plug-ins
Prerequisites
- A working knowledge of Java
- A general understanding of Linux/UNIX
- A working knowledge of plug-in development such as that taught in Eclipse Plug-in Development (EC-301)
Who Should Attend
The course is designed for embedded software engineers who are building large application plug-ins for the Eclipse framework. It is also targeted at experienced developers requiring a refresher course on advanced Eclipse development. This course will clearly demonstrate both the strengths and weaknesses of the Eclipse framework when used in developing application plug-ins.
Duration
The course lasts for four days and includes both lecture and lab components.
