I am just a beginner in eclipse rcp and I'm feeling it hard to understand the concepts. Infact I struggling to create a button, somebody please give a good suggestion as to how to start with rcp.
The Vogella's tutorial on RCP is both up-to-date and quite complete, and updated for E4, including its E4 CSS Spy and other Eclipse e4 Tools..
You can also read about the difference between plug-in, feature and product in eclipse RCP.
In addition to the RCP resources mentioned by VonC, for lower-level stuff (you mentioned creating a button) check out the SWT snippets: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/snippets/
I'd suggest looking at the built-in example applications , especially the mail application they're quite helpful.
And every time you run into something you don't understand - check out the plugin.xml the answer is probably there =)
In addition to online resources, there are some good introductory books, including:
Eric Clayberg and Dan Rubel's "Eclipse plugins," Addison-Wesley.
Vladimir Silva's "Practical Eclipse Rich Client Platform Projects", Apress.
Other books in the Addison-Wesley Eclipse series, such as Steve Northover and Mike Wilson's "SWT: The standard widget toolkit" (from 2004, but still useful).
You can get started quickly with the RCP How-To.

What is the up-to-date way to learn about the Eclipse Platform, RCP...? I found these books, but they were last published 3 years ago. Is that considered eons ago in the Eclipse world? What is the canonical Introductory Guide for understanding Eclipse principles nowadays?
There are now two ways to do Eclipse RCP development, the Eclipse 3.x way where the older books are probably still relevant, and the Eclipse 4 'e4' way which features a new application model, direct injection and CSS styling. For an introduction to e4 RCP development see: http://www.vogella.com/articles/EclipseRCP/article.html the author also has an e-book version of the tutorial.

I downloaded magento 1.7.0.2. I was surfing for the past week and testing tutorials on the net and found that most of them is so confusing. For example... They had a path that tells where to put your layout page then when I look at the magento in ftp, the structure is very different from what they are explaining.
Most of the tutorials I found are more than a year old and are probably not compatible with the latest version. That's why I'm looking for the most recent tutorial I could find.
I hope there is a tutorial similar to phpfox knowledge base. Only a few chapters and few examples but covers everything you need to know in creating modules...
If someone could point me to, i would be greatly appreciated...
Thank you in advance...
don't have a link, but as 1.7.0.2 has been out for almost a year, so you could expect it to be the case.
Whilst it's aimed at 'design/layout', I would also suggest going through the designer guide. It's a painful read, but it help me a great deal to understand Magento methodology and where things are 'meant' to be in file structure. It may just help you to find tut references as sometime things in the 'less than best' location still works.
depending on your extension type their wiki may have a few nuggets.
Hay did you read magento developer part 1 to 8? If not link is HERE
That a pretty good example and explanation (basic to advanced).

I'm looking for a framework for GWT to visualize graphs such as workflow/process diagrams (ideally BPMN capabilites) with a useable auto-layouter and nice shapes. GraphViz has a good layouter but the shapes are not very nice (except you implement your owns).
Unfortunatelly GWT-Diagram seems to be abandoned.
Cheers!
Jack
At jgraph you can find a mxGraph library which is a JavaScript based diagramming framework. A GWT version of it is in development. For a hint about it's capabilities you can go to Diagram.ly. The GWT version will be just as powerful.
Disclaimer :
I am a developer associated with JGraph and I'm currently working on creating a GWT versions of Diagram.ly and mxGraph.
Update
We have setup a github repo. You can checkout our latest source from here.
I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect you're out of luck. Decent diagramming frameworks are rare as hens' teeth. You might have some luck with mxgraph (from jgraph), but according to this question over here I suspect that's the best available. GWT-Links looks alive, but very young.
You can use draw2d and gef(eclipse Graphical Editing Framework) to develop your GWT Diagram App Now.
look at this: http://code.google.com/p/trufun-webrcp/
the GWT framework with completely open source based on html5 technology, is used to transplant eclipse RCP to GWT WEB.
Take a look at oryx-editor this is what Jboss uses for its web based workflow editor (Guvnor).

Hope this sparks some ideas.

Can someone provide me a list of the best Eclipse Plugins available?
The place to go is Eclipse Plugins where you can find all available plugins. You'll also find a handy search function here.
If you want to know which plugins are most popular, turn your browser to Top 10 Most Popular Eclipse Plugins or Eclipse Marketplace.
Best of luck
Some of my favorites of all time:
Mylyn (task-oriented programming)
TPTP (profiling)
EclEmma (coverage)
CodePro Analytix (auditing, test generation, coverage)
FindBugs (static analysis)
Jadclipse (decompiler, requires JAD)
Eclipse Color Theme (text editor highlighting)
lombok (boilerplate buster, not a real plugin, more of a VM agent)

If it exists, where can I find an Eclipse Cheat Sheet Repository?
I mean, Eclipse has this "Cheat Sheet" feature (Help -> Cheat Sheets), but although being an easy and powerful feature I haven't seen people using it, for example for Tutorials.
As mark mentionned in his answer, if you have installed plugins, chances are they come with their cheat sheet.
As mentionned in this IBM article Building cheat sheets in Eclipse V3.2, you can:
make a Help search for the term "plug-in": it will return cheat sheets -- along with other content -- that match your query.
But refining your search by adding "cheat sheet" to the query might narrow the results too much and exclude useful content.
explicitly show the cheat sheet results if you display the search results in categories, using the category button.
Take a look to the Dzone's one.
Good Luck!
The closer you can get is what VonC answered answered. After researching over the internet I couldn't find a central place where you can download cheat-sheets and use it as tutorials.
Maybe a market niche for those tech-entrepreneurs. :D
