Eclipse Java Book

Hi sorry if I am posting in the wrong place!
I have started using Eclipse 3.0 but am new to Java also - I have some books on Eclipse itself but am looking for some recommendations on a Java book that might go with Eclipse?
Any help appreciated, Tabilda

Don't use an IDE until you know the languagebetter!
Why not? IMHO the errors and warnings the IDE gives,
with the autocomplete feature and all that stuff, are
pretty useful to a neophyte.Well, of course they're useful. A car which drives itself would be useful, but would it help someone learn to drive? Calculators are useful, but do they improve, or denigrate, mental arithmetic?
The problem with IDEs and newbies is, they have no idea where the language stops and the IDE begins. When they have a problem, they have no idea how to solve it. That's why we see endless questions here proclaiming to be a NetBeans issue, which turns out to be that the OP didn't know some fundamental piece of Java syntax. That's why people get confused about whether "tomcat is compatible with eclipse" or similar, they don't know enough about Java itself to know how nonsensical that is. And nor will they until they know the separation between IDE and language
Auto-complete is a poor aid to learning, since it absolves the user of actually having to know the API he's using

  • Java book/ebook or training site with examples

    Hello,
    I need to improve myself on java basics, got a few books which explain a lot, however they don't have any examples. What I need is a book or tutorial_site which first introduces a topic then asks the reader to experience it on various examples to see different aspects.
    Thank you.

    Just a side note:
    If you haven't already done so, I suggest your next step is to download the Eclipse IDE and get familiar with it (its free and used by a very large number of professional developers). You can create projects within it. However, I suggest you first create a few code samples from your introductory Java book using a text editor and compile using the DOS command window before moving onto an IDE so you can appreciate what it does for you.

    Hi,
    The newest and default version of Eclipse is Galileo which is version 3.5.x
    According to the Widget development guide, widget developer tool covers Eclipse 3.3.x (Europa) and 3.4.x  (Galileo).
    The problem is solved by downloading one of those versions from http://wiki.eclipse.org/Older_Versions_Of_Eclipse and installing widget development tools.

  • How to plugin oracle 10g express edition in Eclipse Java EE

    Hi guys,
    I have downloaded Eclipse Java EE and also downloaded Oracle 10g express edition. Please some one guide me how do I plugin the database in Eclipse and use DTP in Eclipse. I am new to Oracle and Java, Please help me.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have installed OEPE through Eclipse Update Manager for Eclipse Galileo 3.5. I have already installed oracle10g express edition and Appache tomcat 6.0 for web development.
    Now I have unlocked the hr user and following instruction from white paper to use OEPE
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/cioroianu-eclipse-jpa.html
    Now you can configure the database connection in Eclipse. Click Window > Show View > Other..., select Data Management > Data Source Explorer, and click OK. Right click Database Connections, click New, select Oracle Database Connection, enter the hr name for the connection, and click Next.
    Select Oracle Database 10g Driver Default, change the server name in the jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe URL if necessary, enter the hr user name and its password, click Test Connection to verify that everything is correct, and click Finish
    But here when I tried to connect to the database, it give me error - Creating connection to New oracle database connection has encountered a problem
    Couldn't connect to New Oracle Database Connection.
    Error creating SQL Model Connection connection to New Oracle Database Connection.(Error: IO exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection)

    I know i am wrong some where, Please tell me where I am going wrong? Do I need to download and configure weblogic 10g first? Is this don't work with Apache tomcat server instead?
    Thanks

  • Is Eclipse (java viewer) for CR still being developed?

    Hello,
    Is the Eclipse (Crystal java viewer) still being invested in from a development perspective? I'm currently using the .NET (HTML) viewer because of two reasons:
    1. The Java viewer has embedded flash functions which render it useless on Apple devices.
    2. I heard the Java viewer was not going to be supported in favour of the .NET (HTML) viewer.
    Can you someone confirm if the Eclipse (Java) viewer is still being developed. Also, is there a version that strips out the Flash functions?
    I'd like to drop the HTML viewer because I'm paying $600/year just to run Windows servers just for this viewer!
    Thanks for any assistance on this!

    Hi Brummygit,
    Yes we are always developing new technology and firmware versions to improve upon what we already offer but I am afraid I cant give you any dates for when you might expect this to be available.

  • Java Book Recommendation?

    Hi,
    I work a lot with scientific computation: reading in data, working with mathematical models, etc.
    However, I can't find a Java book that tackles those aspects in depth.
    Does anyone know of a good book on this topic?
    Regards,
    -mike

    I am sorry you feel that way about my questions! For example, in scientific computing, we work a lot with differential equations, Fourier transforms and so on. I can of course, write a program that will do those computations from scratch - which would take a lot of time! Or, what if there was a Java package that do these calculations? By having a book which focuses on these issues, one can save a lot of time! So, I believe you may have misunderstood my questions.
    That's a different question.
    Of course there exist libraries to aid in scientific and engineering computing.
    Can't give you names as I'm not (sadly) into that field any more, but I do know they exist.
    There are a few books that deal with Java and Scientific Computing that I found. These books prove that the questions that I posed here are relevant, and not a way of "give me the source" that you mentioned. Most people who replied to my questions were very polite as I have been - politeness is definitely an attitude that is much appreciated here!
    Most such questions are from schoolkids who don't want to put in their own effort but just want to copy and paste sourcecode and turn it in as their own for their homework assignments.
    That's how yours was understood to be as well.
    Here is a list of the books I found:
    - A Numerical Library in Java for Scientists and Engineers by Hang T. Lau
    - Java for Scientists and Engineers (2nd Edition) by Stephen J. Chapman
    - Essential Java for Scientists and Engineers by Brian Hahn
    - Java Programming for Engineers by Julio Sanchez and Maria P. Canton
    - Java Gently for Engineers and Scientists by Judith Bishop and Nigel Bishop
    - Java for Engineers and Scientists by Gary J. Bronson
    This is definitely a great list for people who want to apply Java in Science and Engineering.
    May look at some, especially the first :)

  • Whats a good JAVA book?

    What do you think is a good Java book for someone who has a little expericne with java? I have experience in COBOL and a little touch of C, and Visual Basic? Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Justin

    I would suggest Java: an Introduction to Computer Science and Programming by Walter Savitch. This book assumes that the reader has no programming experience and it's aimed at students. I realize that you do have experience with COBOL, but I would recommend this one over the Core Java series to start out. Core Java volumes 1 and 2 are not good as an introduction for someone coming from a non-object oriented language. They would be a lot better for someone migrating from C++. They frequently refer to C++ and VB in their examples. They are excellent books, but better as a reference than an initial learning source.

  • Java Books

    Hi all,
    I am a Java back-end,server-side programmer (junior to mid-level). Worked mostly on core Java. I would like to improve my Java programming skills. I know hundreds of books and tutorials are out there, but taught it might be a good idea to ask you guys first and have some idea before starting to buy any...
    Does anybody know a good Java book that I can buy or a good tutorial that I can use (in order to improve my Java programming skills)?
    Also I like to learn about 'web-services' (and maybe move toward that for my next job). Does anybody know of a good book or turorial for that?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • What's the best java book available?

    Anyone knows any good, detail java book available out there for
    beginer/intermediate level programmer? Greatly appreciated.

    hi,
    i would recommend Beginning Java 2 - SDK 1.4 Version, it's a good book for people starting off and moving to interm., the author covers the basics and more advanced topics later such as JDBC, working with XML and Java and Printing all in one book. Also half way through the book, once he starts talking about building GUI, he builds a small application, then for the next few chapters what ever is taught is also built into the app, the app he shows you how to build is something like ms paint. so he shows you not only how to write small programs but also building an application, i don't remember the size of it but i believe it was a few thousand lines long. he also builds a second app, smaller for working with databases later. the only problem is the size of the book and price, but if you have the time to read it, i'd recommend that one.

  • Any good Java books with Business Examples ?

    Can anyone recommend a Beginner Java book that has some good Business Examples ?
    (Don't recommend the SUN tutorial, as their examples are more for the rocket scientist).

    Not sure what you mean by business examples, but here goes.
    Check out Wrox for some excellent books - not all excellent.
    Check ot samspublishing for the same.
    I have a superb book called Learning java (O'Reilly) that I would recommend to anyone. It lacks complete examples, which I usually rely on, but is a major piece of work for the novice - I have found a large part of this book on the web also, can't remember where.
    My very favourite read is Wrox - J2EE Java server pages
    I would stilll recomend avoiding books by Manning which are generally incomplete and point to other books they have published for this other info.
    best,

  • Java book

    Can anyone recommend a good java book for a complete beginner? I have a copy of 'simply java', but i cant get the initial projects to work and there isnt enough clear explanation as to howi fix errors in my code. I am a not attending a course, the book will need to be purely for home study.
    Any recommendations would be helpful and if u have used the simply java book maybe you can help me understand why the ATM project at the start of the book wont work for me.
    Cheers

  • Looking for a good beginner/intermediate Java book

    Hello everyone,
    I am looking for a good beginner/intermediate Java book. I have taken a couple of Java classes (Beginner programming + beginner Java) and have a fairly good understanding of the basics. What I want is a book that is going to build on that as well as give me some good practical problems to work on while I'm doing so. Can anyone recommend one or two good books that would fit the bill?
    Thanks!

    Those three books are all excellent, but are all beginner books. When it comes to intermediate books I think you need to go topic by topic.

  • [SOLVED] Unable to install "Eclipse Java Developers"

    Hey everyone,
    I am setting up a new dev machine and need to install Eclipse (java developer version).  From what I can tell the Eclipse Classic does not include the Marketplace and I need it to install the Emacs+ plugin (I have a hard time typing without it).
    When running `pacman -S eclipse` the classic version is the one that is installed (fail).  I have also downloaded the Java version but when I try to run it I get an error `exec format error: ./eclipse` (fail)
    There is an eclipse java version available via yaourt, but after installing I get errors thrown when trying to install the Android developer tools; both when running eclipse as my user as well as sudo. (fail / fail)
    So does anyone know of a surefire way to install the Eclipse java developer version?
    Thanks for any help.

    Using Eclipse Classic I was able to install the plugin with a direct url to the emacs+ site.

  • Advanced java book needed

    i need a throrough java book to add to my collection which goes over the most advanced of java programming (reflection, polymorphism etc...) in hopefully one book which has clear examples. if you know of one please give me isbn or title/author id be so grateful. thanks!

    So many topics though!
    There is a book on Java thread ("Java Threads v2"?)
    There are several books on java optimization (like use StringBuffer instead of String)
    The Java Lang Spec 2 book.
    The Java Virtual Machine 2 book.
    The Java Native Inteface 2 book.
    I suspect the Sedgewick Algorithms book is good, unless you already have one for another language.
    There are some enterprise level books but no titles I can recall right now.
    And naturally there are books that apply to advanced java work like some of the design books (like the UML stuff.)

Maybe you are looking for
