Introduction to Eclipse
Eclipse is a powerful development environment that provides tools for each phase of the development
process. It is integrated into a single, fully configurable user interface for ease of use, featuring a
pluggable architecture which allows for extension in a variety of ways.
Eclipse integrates a variety of disparate tools into a unified environment to create a rich development
experience. The Valgrind plug-in, for example, allows programmers to perform memory profiling
(normally done through the command line) through the Eclipse user interface. This functionality is not
exclusive only to Eclipse.
Being a graphical application, Eclipse is a welcome alternative to developers who find the command
line interface intimidating or difficult. In addition, Eclipse's built-in Help system provides extensive
documentation for each integrated feature and tool. This greatly decreases the initial time investment
required for new developers to become fluent in its use.
The traditional (i.e. mostly command-line based) Linux tools suite (gcc, gdb, etc) and Eclipse offer
two distinct approaches to programming. Most traditional Linux tools are far more flexible, subtle,
and (in aggregate) more powerful than their Eclipse-based counterparts. These traditional Linux
tools, on the other hand, are more difficult to master, and offer more capabilities than are required by
most programmers or projects. Eclipse, by contrast, sacrifices some of these benefits in favor of an
integrated environment, which in turn is suitable for users who prefer their tools accessible in a single,
graphical interface.
1.1. Understanding Eclipse Projects
Eclipse stores all project and user files in a designated workspace. You can have multiple workspaces
and can switch between each one on the fly. However, Eclipse will only be able to load projects
from the current active workspace. To switch between active workspaces, navigate to File > Switch
Workspace > /path/to/workspace. You can also add a new workspace through the Workspace
Launcher wizard; to open this wizard, navigate to File > Switch Workspace > Other.
Figure 1.1. Workspace Launcher
For information about configuring workspaces, refer to Reference > Preferences > Workspace in the
Workbench User Guide (Help Contents).
