A good tutorial on building Eclipse plugins?

Question

I'm trying to get started with my first Eclipse plugin, but can't seem to find a good tutorial on the subject that is newer than 2003, when Eclipse 2.1 was in style. Any pointers on finding a quality tutorial that is still relevant?

Answer 1

The IBM tutorial is pretty good. I had a co-worker use it to create a plug-in at my last job.

Answer 2

If you don't mind getting a book rather then an online tutorial, I can recommend this book. Aside from providing a step-by-step tutorial-style introduction, it is also a great reference.

Answer 3

I like the tutorials on vogella.de/eclipse.html

They are quite new and detailed.

Answer 4

When you get off the ground with those IBM tutorials suggested by Bill the Lizard, I suggest you look into http://www.eclipse.org/resources/, for it's a great page with lots of resources, etc. Try it.

Answer 5

Apart from good tutorials, you need to download and study the sample code, other plugin code.
