I have just started trying to use MyEclipse. This is the first version of Eclipse I will be atempting to use. The versions of MyEclipse claims to be 3.8.4 and the eclipse is 3.0.2. The MyEclipse portion was purchased by a manager that is no longer around. Therefore I am somewhat unfamiliar with what I am able to do in MyEclipse/Eclipse in general.
Is there an area with older feature lists? (3.8.4)
Is there any training for myEclipse (books or otherwise) I see the Faq and the forums.Somewhat pressed on time, so digging throught the forums to get started sounds to painful.
Anyone have any suggestions on how would be the best way to ramp up on using MyEclipse. I am currently coming from JBuilder, fore that Visual age. I tend to be a hand coder so I really dont need to many of the high end features right now. So just the basics are my targets to learn. Beyond the basic I am specificly interested in D+D gui’s can MyEclipse do guis yet. Not a game breaker I just hate hand coding gui’s. (yes I am a null layout mgr punk).
anyhow any responses and suggestions are appreciated. Currently I am just digging around with the ide trying to figure it out. I already did “hello world” so dont ask. lol. Cept I am so good I didnt need to compile that one.

You’re certainly welcome to ask questions here and we’ll try to help. First, if you have a MyEclipse subscription I wanted to mention that you can download and install Eclipse 3.1.1 and MyEclipse 4.0.3 instead of using the old 3.8.4 build. All upgrades, including major ones, are included in the subscription. If you want to do that, you’ll need to create a separate installation from your E3.0.2/ME3.8.4 install as there isn’t a direct upgrade path. You’ll have to download Eclipse 3.1.1 from eclipse.org and then ME 4.0.3 from us and install it so that it points to the new Eclipse 3.1.1 installation.
Is there an area with older feature lists? (3.8.4
Not a full one. You can check the New & Noteworthy section. It has the latest 4.0 features, but links at the top to get back to the older versions. If you want to stay with 3.8.4, you can look at the 4.0 section as a list of “things I don’t have”.

Anyone have any suggestions on how would be the best way to ramp up on using MyEclipse?MyEclipse has a few chapters in several books, but the easiest way to get started is by going through the quickstart tutorials in the Documentation Section. They’re designed to get you up and running quickly so I think that’s what you’re looking for. The FAQ is nothing but confusing and we’re in the process of redoing it now.
I am currently coming from JBuilder, fore that Visual age.
If you’re a VisualAge fan, have a look at the Java Browsing Perspective (Window > Open Perspective > Other… > Java Browsing Perspective. Should bring back some memories. For J2EE work, we recommend one of the three perspectives we provide, as a starting point, depending on what you’re interested in doing.
Beyond the basic I am specificly interested in D+D gui’s can MyEclipse do guis yet. Not a game breaker I just hate hand coding gui’s. (yes I am a null layout mgr punk).
We have a WYSIWYG JSP/HTML designer for web gui’s, but nothing for SWT or Swing gui’s. For those, I’d take a look at Instantiation’s WindowBuilder product. It’s very good.
Ok Thanks Scott, Let me get started on your suggestions. then go from there thanks greatly for your suggestions.
