Eclipse is arguably the most popular Java IDE (maybe that is why you bought this book; you figured it was about time you jumped on the bandwagon). In this chapter, we introduced Eclipse Juno and what this new version of the IDE brings to the table. As you saw, Eclipse has undergone lots of changes.

Besides introducing Eclipse, this chapter laid the foundation for the rest of the book. We emphasized some of the changes of the new version of the IDE. We could have spent more pages describing what is new, but that would not be appropriate for those of you who can barely wait to start using Eclipse. Above all, the most important changes have already been documented elsewhere (as mentioned before).

The next chapter delves into our hands-on tutorial, describing how to use Eclipse to develop Java applications. Good reading, and make sure not to get sidetracked by social networking sites.
