does anyone knows whether I can use JGraph in an eclipse plugin to draw some graphs? I read about that JGraph is for Swing and Eclipse plugins are in SWT, is there a problem?
Cheers,
Simon
It is possible to use Swing components in an SWT application.
If JGraph works perfectly remains to be tested though, I couldn't find any positive results on google.
Here is an article from Eclipse on how to use Swing components.
Good luck.

I have developed some web applications before and everything is well documented and there is a framework for anything. I am new to Swing and desktop application development and I found that documentation is sparse and you have to figure out a lot of things by experimenting.
I've been googling for a few hours on how to setup NatTable and I couldn't find anything. I was surprised no one asked the question before. I just want some instructions on how to get the basics working on Eclipse and NetBeans. I was using Eclipse in the past but I think I will use NetBeans for this project as the Swing GUI editor is better.
Is NatTable exclusive to Eclipse or will it also work with NetBeans? If someone can post screenshots of the setup procedure, that would be awesome.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
The NatTable project has a website that contains some information. It doesn't cover everything, but how to install and use it is explained:
https://www.eclipse.org/nattable/documentation.php?page=getting_started
Currently NatTable is building a SWT control. Swing is not supported. That might change in the future.
I'm going to develop an Eclipse plugin for my work and I'm wondering if it is possible to create a view with a 3D canvas made through a 3D library like Java3D or JMonkeyEngine.
If it's possible can you please point me to a tutorial from which I can start (I'm not asking for a complete solution, just some ideas on how to procede)?
Thanks!
you can try gef3d
I am a C# programmer. I want to learn Java to implement my windows application. But I don't know what IDE and what tools can help me.
Please help me to choose best platform and IDE and other tools.
Edit:
Thank You For Your Helping. And What is Best Ebooks and UserGuids to Learn java.
There are really three big IDE's that people use:
Eclipse
Netbeans
Intellij IDEA (my personal favorite)
The online Java Tutorials are a great place to start learning the language.
Eclipse or NetBeans will be your best bet for an IDE (in my options)
Set up Git for source control
Use Maven to manage your builds (if you're getting that complex)
First, download the java jdk.

Later, install an IDE. I suggest you to use Eclipse, I like it:
http://www.eclipse.org/
Another one very used is Netbeans:
http://netbeans.org/
Have Fun!
There's a short tutorial along with a great comparison table here. It's a Java tutorial aimed at C# developers.
Java is very close to C# you don't need more than eclipse (Actually I prefer it more than Netbeans) and search for any syntax you want in the Java documentation
JDK
First you need to download Java
development kit(J2SE 6) from Sun's
website
IDEs
eclipse or netbeans
Books
If you are planning to use Swing for
windows application - you may read
sun's tutorial
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/
Or if youa re a serious Java learner
get the Thinking in Java book from
here

By the way, welcome to Java's world :)
Welcome to Java World. You can either use Swing or SWT for windows form like development. Here is a good link to get started with SWT http://www.developer.com/java/other/article.php/3330861/SWT-Programming-with-Eclipse.htm .
On top of what the other user's have already recommended, I would suggest getting familiarized with a J2EE container. It will come in handy in the future. Here is a link on what it is. JBOSS container is free and a pretty good one to use in my opinion. You can download it here.
For Windows app with SWT / AWT gui you should know there are plugins for IDE that help you to create your gui. Check for exemple Matisse for NetBeans.
Once you have Eclipse up and running, you should look at the Visual Editor Project plugin at Eclipse for developing windows applications. Hand-coding all of the SWT stuff is a big pain and hence the plugin will help.
netbensIDE will help u
Can someone recommend me a package similar to JCollada for 3d rendering that is based on JOGL or point me to a place where I can obtain JCollada? The original site for JCollada has a SVN link that is no longer working (empty svn repositry).
I think jMonkeyEngine 3 is the right library for you. jME3 can use either LWJGL or JOGL for rendering.
Here's the link:
http://code.google.com/p/jmonkeyengine/
Have fun!
Depending on what you want to do, you can try Jzy3d which provides lot of easy to use 3d primitives and tools.

i'm new for java how can i add a button or others like Microsoft visual studio?
If you mean that you want a GUI builder, you'd better consider NetBeans with its Matisse. I think it is the most popular now for Swing apps.
This Google search shows a number of GUI builders for Eclipse
Many people prefer building GUI in Swing manually (just writing code) because it is by far not that difficult as in MSVC++ applications.
If you are looking for the Eclipse IDE to help with the development of Java applications, this can be found on eclipse.org.
Though I'm not sure I understood your question correctly.
What you are looking for is Eclipse Visual Editor. However, as pointed out by others, the GUI Builder from NetBeans (formerly known as Matisse) is more popular for Swing development.
Download Netbeans, its visual editor is very good, and will give you a the perfect Swing User Interface. Its also very easy to use.
When making desktop applications, i always do it with Netbeans, if i know the application will be more complicated later, then i do only one or two JFrame classes with Netbeans, and use them in a new project in Eclipse :)
