Why learn Java with Eclipse? There are many ways to learn how to program in Java. The author believes that there are advantages to learning Java using the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE). Some of these are listed below: ? Eclipse provides a number of aids that make writing Java code much quicker and easier than using a text editor. This means that you can spend more time learning Java, and less time typing and looking up documentation. ? The Eclipse debugger and scrapbook allow you to look inside the execution of the Java code. This allows you to “see” objects and to understand how Java is working behind the scenes ? Eclipse provides full support for agile software development practices such as test-driven development and refactoring. This allows you to learn these practices as you learn Java. ? If you plan to do software development in Java, you’ll need to learn Eclipse or some other IDE. So learning Eclipse from the start will save you time and effort. The chief concern with learning Java with an IDE is that learning the IDE itself will be difficult and will distract you from learning Java. It is hoped that this tutorial will make learning the basics of Eclipse relatively painless so you can focus on learning Java. Topics Covered This tutorial will cover the following topics: ? Basics of Eclipse for Java development ? Basics of Java and object-oriented programming (OOP) ? Test-driven development (TDD) and unit testing in Eclipse Tutorial Approach The tutorial is organized around the following activities. ? Write a small sample Java application to track your personal lending library. ? Use the “test-first” approach to develop most methods. ? Write a “test drive” program and create an executable JAR file, and run the JAR file from the system console. Concepts are introduced as needed during the development of the sample applications. Getting The Most From This Tutorial This tutorial can be used as an in-depth demonstration of Java development in Eclipse. However, if you want to actually learn how to write Java programs in Eclipse, the following approach is recommended:…
