My very good friend of mine, Andrew pointed me the way of EasyEclipse.  Its a Eclipse distro with a collection of very useful plugins, and some of their own.

You can download the plugins seperately or get one of their distro’s (as per any other Eclipse distro doing the rounds).

Seem to be very friendly to the new Eclipse user and they have specific distros for development of PHP, C++, JEE and more.

Today at work I learnt about the Executor designed to replace calls like new Thread (new Runnable( public void run() { //stuff } )).start(); with strategies to manage those threads with pools. Executor e = Executors.newXXXXXExecutorPool() e.execute(new Runnable(….)); Here are some more links: Java theory and practice: Concurrency made simple sort of Learning Java – Chapter 10 : Java Executors (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0)

The following appears to be a more mature version of the Java tutorial and makes reference to tutorials outside of the basic Java Tutorial. (ie JavaBeans 101)
