I am planning to develop a rich set of plugins for Eclipse which would involve 3D Graphics rendering inside Eclipse.
Is JavaFX a good technology choice for developing a Eclipse Plugin?
Is there some other rich client technology that I am missing out on and which can be used to develop Eclipse Plugins (other than SWT and JFace)?
Eclipse 4, the new major release of eclipse, (4.2 due this summer) is supposed to support non-swt frontends in RCP/Plugin development.
However I am not sure how far along is the work to support javafx rendering.
You can find some info on E4 + JavaFX on Tom Schindl's blog
http://tomsondev.bestsolution.at/2011/10/17/efxclipse-0-0-7-released/ and
http://efxclipse.org/
Maybe Lars Vogel has also written something about this, I am not sure. Anyways Lars is IMO the best source on the internet when it comes to E4
http://www.vogella.de and

Anyways, Eclipse 4 is the way to go/research if you need RCP without SWT. I do not think this is doable in Eclipse 3.x at all.

I've just released a step by step tutorial how to use JavaFX inside an Eclipse View. See https://wiki.eclipse.org/Efxclipse/Tutorials/Tutorial2

I found an interesting open-source layout library on Github which I'd like to incorporate into an Android project I'm working on in Eclipse. However, I noticed that the library in question seems to have been developed using Gradle, which I don't have. I'm not sure what IDE was used to develop the library, but in any case, I'm not familiar with Gradle at all... Are Gradle-d projects fully compatible with non-Gradle-d Eclipse? Would it depend on the IDE used? (In which case, how can one tell what was used to develop it?)
What are the steps (if any) I would need to take to properly incorporate this library? Would I need to install & run certain plugins, for example?
Thank you very much for your help.
Gradle is the build system that Android Studio uses (the new IDE that is being developed by Google for Android development). You can use the Gradle Eclipse plugin to load Gradle projects into Eclipse.

I created this game using java in eclipse (Kepler) JDK, but I want to publish it on android. I am completely new to this subject. I downloaded Android Studio as a friend suggested me to, and he told me that there were new libraries that i had to import. The game is quite complex and i imported a lot of things like color mouseevents sound and other various things , and I just want some guidelines on what i am supposed to change, or if its possible to run my game on android without changing anything from my java eclipse program.
thank you for any help in advance
You're going to have to rewrite the entire UI and input handling code. Android does not use the standard Java UI. You should start out by reading tutorials on basic android architecture, the activity lifecycle, and views.
Totally agreed with #Gabe Sechan that you have to rewrite most of the code which would be compatible with Android. One of framework which support Java language and used to create games(mostly 2D) for most of the platforms is Libgdx. You can go through that framework if it can help.

At this point, I've pretty much had it with Netbeans. I can't seem to get it to work with Tomcat out of the box. Even downloading Tomcat and adding it to Netbeans doesn't work - I keep getting a pop-up asking for authentication, which I enter but yet it comes back again and again and again. Looked all over the internet for an answer, but everything just leads to nowhere.
Can anyone recommend a better IDE? I know of Eclipse, but I've never used it before. Is that any better than Netbeans?
Thanks.
I also suggest Eclipse, I've used it a for long time and never had issues with it.
Currently on my current job, we are using IBM's Rational Software Architect for WebSphere, which is basically Eclipse under an IBM name with some customizations for WebSphere (and a huge price tag).
You can Try Eclipse(https://www.eclipse.org/) or IntelliJ IDEA comminity Edition (http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/)
Can anyone recommend a better IDE?
There is no such thing as a better IDE, the answer to that is opinion based.All IDEs have their pros and cons.
That said, there is a special Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers You can download it at the official eclipse website

Eclipse is designed base on OSGi model. And the OSGi model declaim it supports hot install and uninstall bundles. So I am confused why the Eclipse always need to restart to take a new install plug-in work. Is the OSGi model not that good or Eclipse not implemented the whole model?
The OSGi model works very well, but dynamics doesn't come for free. Bundle code needs to be written in such a way as to cope with services coming and going.
Eclipse has two problems. First there are an awful lot of legacy plugins that are not dynamic-aware and are written by frankly mediocre developers. Second, Eclipse has always shunned the services part of OSGi, instead favouring the "extension registry" with its a more static and clunky lifecycle (actually it's possible to handle dynamic updates with the extension registry, but much harder than when using OSGi services).
Actually in many cases Eclipse can dynamically cope with the addition of plugins, which is why the install dialog gives you the option to do this. But because of the variable quality of third party plugins, it plays safe and recommends a restart.

Are there any tools that can be used to design Android UI's (like the iPhone)?
I saw DroidDraw but it seemed a little outdated and wanted to know if there are any newer tools.
The standard Android-SDK Plugin for Eclipse brings a GUI-Designer with it. It's not perfect, but it's under active development.
Although, it should be the most up-to-date GUI-Designer for Android.
The Android SDK includes a WYSIWYG editor in the Eclipse ADT plugin. I haven't used it (prefer working with the XML), but it's allegedly decent.
