[news.eclipse.platform] Re: How to learn eclipse source code

[Eric Rizzo <eclipse-news@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The easiest way to browse the source of Eclipse is to get the " 	
Eclipse for RCP/Plug-in Developers" package from 
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

When you're running that, you have available the source for most of the 
"core" Eclipse plugins like the runtime (Equinox), SWT and JFace, Jave 
tooling, RCP platform, PDE, etc. Just about everything you'd need to get 
an understanding of "how eclipse works."

Hope this helps,
Eric
