I want to develop eclipse plugin on top of an existing desktop application. The desktop application has already been developed in Java Swing and I want to create eclipse plugin which will use this existing desktop application as well as also use existing eclipse features like refactoring etc.
So far, I have found following resources,
Book
- Eclipse Plug-ins by Eric Clayberg
- Eclipse 4 Plug-in Development by Example Beginner's Guide
Other resources include
- Eclipse, RCP, Plugin and OSGi Development by vogella
- http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-eclipse-plugindev1/index.html
- http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2005/02/09/eclipse.html
I want to start developing eclipse plugin but not sure how to start. I start to read vogella tutorial but it is talking about eclipse RCP which I am not sure is what i need or not? If anyone can provide me direction and give me starting point, i will be thankful.
