Hi Lars,

Thanks for your encouraging words. Let's try to increase the popularity of RCP with our books :)

Best regards,
Bernhard

One consideration for you is that based on the newly updated Eclipse Foundation logo, there will likely be new icons coming into the platform for the Luna release. I don't know when this will happen yet but M6 is a reasonable goal for that. Since icons appear in every window it is one of those pervasive changes that requires new screen shots.

Because I expect changes from M3 to the final Luna release and to avoid that screenshots in my book are outdated, I would like to wait for a user interface freeze of Eclipse Luna. After this release I will replace all outdated screenshots with the newest versions.
