Answer 1

I've used a prior edition of Eclipse Plugins with good success.

Answer 2

I've found eclipsezone.com to be a very good place to go for help, they have a good forum as well as articles on eclipse development. Also, the ibm developerworks series has some good articles on various eclipse plugin related stuff, but some of them require you to sign up for a (free) IBM account id.

Answer 3

Eclipse Plugins is the best book you can find to learn about eclipse plugin development. It covers the latest version of Eclipse (Eclipse 3.4).

Professional Eclipse 3 for Java Developers is also a good book, but covers only Eclipse 3.2.

Eclipse Corner Articles is a website where you will find authoritative eclipse articles.
