An introduction to Eclipse for Visual Studio users

,----[ Quote ]
| Eclipse is a new world for Microsoft® Visual Studio® developers, and getting 
| started with Eclipse can be confusing. New concepts, such as plug-in 
| architecture, workspace-centric project structure, and automatic build can 
| seem counterintuitive at first. Learn about these and other differences 
| between the two environments, so that you can begin to feel at home with 
| Eclipse.
