Eclipse Web Site
The official Eclipse web site, http://www.eclipse.org, is your best source of information on Eclipse: the platform, the IDE, and the community. The design of this site may change over time, but as of this writing, the major sections are:
- About us
Learn about the Eclipse project, how it got started, who is involved in it, how the governance works, legal questions, logo programs, and so forth.
- Projects
Eclipse development is split into top-level projects, subprojects, and components. On the Projects page, you can see how all this is organized. Drill down to get to FAQs, documentation, source code, etc.
- Download
This area should be familiar from Part I. It's where you'll find the latest prebuilt versions of Eclipse.
- Articles
The articles section is full of technical information for developers using or extending Eclipse. Consider writing an article yourself to add to the community knowledge base.
- Newsgroups
The main user forums are found here (see the "Newsgroups" section, later in this chapter).
- Community
This is where you'll find out about conferences, user groups, web sites, books, courses, free and commercial plug-ins, awards, and much more.
- Search
Locate any page at eclipse.org, including newsgroup and mailing list archives.
- Bugs
Find or report bugs and enhancement requests.
