I've seen that most of the documentation in the Liferay Wiki (concerning Eclipse plugins and the like) refers to Liferay version 4.x. Are there up-to-date resources for developing Liferay portlets with eclipse (3.5)?
There is a new top-level project at Liferay that is called Liferay IDE which is the official set of eclipse plugins for Liferay. Here is the installation guide and getting started tutorial.
Found one here that looks promising:
http://www.jroller.com/holy/entry/developing_portlets_for_liferay_in
We are starting to use this as a reference. It seems pretty good to get going.
http://www.amazon.com/Liferay-Portal-5-2-Systems-Development/dp/1847194702/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266607717&sr=8-1
The other thing to look at are the two (at least I found) Maven plug ins for Eclipse/Liferay.
One comes from Liferay and the other a community.
http://github.com/azzazzel/liferay-maven-sdk and this is a good ref of it:
http://github.com/azzazzel/liferay-maven-sdk
From Liferay: http://www.liferay.com/web/mika.koivisto/blog/-/blogs/liferay-maven-sdk
Both are good and help with the busting out of project archetypes for Liferay.
Check Liferay IDE, which supports development for all latest Liferay Portals. Liferay IDE is based on eclipse and is maintained by Liferay itself.

I am little bit new in field of eclipse and I am trying to write a plugin for eclipse
which can provide a main menu with one sub menu NVIDIA VISUAL PROFILER.After clicking
on which it should profile my application. Can anybody suggest some good tutorial or
any such type of PLUGIN which can give me some idea.
As #BenC mentioned, Nsight Eclipse Edition has complete Visual Profiler integrated as a part of the whole IDE experience.
NVIDIA tools team does not provide Visual Profiler as a standalone component that can be integrated in Eclipse products. All that can be done with current Visual Profiler is calling it from the command line (e.g. by using java.lang.ProcessBuilder). You do not even need to create a plugin for this as you may leverage existing "External Tools" facilities.
Please let us know more about specific requirements you have for integrating Visual Profiler in your Eclipse workbench.

I just downloaded a demo of Zend Studio and it looks remarkably like Eclipse. I was wondering if they were built on top of the same libraries or if the developers just stole the look and feel to make it more user friendly on developers familiar with Eclipse.
If they are built off the same libraries or framework, which ones? I ask cause I'm interested if their is an IDE builder. A way to quickly create your own IDEs for instance. Thanks
Zend Studio is built off of Eclipse, that's why it looks similar. From the Zend Studio website:
Zend Studio is the most up-to-date PHP
IDE that supports the latest
technologies such as PHP 5.3, Zend
Framework, and the latest Eclipse
Platform (Helios) ensuring your
environment is always up to date with
the latest advancements. You can also
use Zend Studio to easily build rich
PHP-based Ajax applications thanks to
extensive JavaScript support.
You can find a list of other Eclipse-based software on Wikipedia.

What IDE has better support for groovy, Netbeans or Eclipse?
Last additions to Eclipse integration with Groovy added almost everything needed to the old plugin (which lacked some features) so my points go to Eclipse.
Now the plugin is quite mature and updated very often (3 days ago last update). Key features taken from here:
Syntax highlighting
Type inferencing
Compile and run Groovy classes and scripts in Eclipse
Outline view for Groovy files
Auto-completion
Refactoring
Source code formatting
Basic debug support
Short answer
Eclipse
Longer answer
The Groovy-Eclipse plugin used to be unspeakably awful, but it has improved out of all recognition since version 2.X. If you want Grails (rather than just Groovy) support, the simplest option is to install the SpringSource Tool Suite (STS), which supports Groovy, Grails and lots of other products under the Spring portfolio.

Is there a WiKiText editor plugin for reStructuredText under eclipse? When I edit a .textile file, I get various intelligent editing features (such as line folding) and a preview panel. I find that there are references to reStructuredText under various MyLyn packages, but after installing them I still can't find a reStructuredText editor. Is that because there isn't one?
Thanks. Kent
Probably this answer is too late, but yet it is worth to add it for future readers :)
There is an "official" list of editors here:
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/links.html
One of the tools mentioned is the Eclipse plugin indeed:
http://resteditor.sourceforge.net/. I've been using it for few days only (I'm also researching in this direction now :) ), but so far so good.
P.S. I haven't been able to install the "color theme mapper" for that plugin - so should you have troubles installing that plugin - uncheck the "color theme mapper" when installing it from update site.
There is the ReST Editor plugin for eclipse.
It works really well and he provide an integration with Eclipse Color Theme (Use the update site to install the Eclipse Color Theme integration).
There is no ReST plugin, but you can make one yourself, as example using Colorer.
Colorer has an API for new language descriptions, and there's a plugin for Eclipse.
There's even an example on how to add new languages to Eclipse this way. It is very easy :-)
If you don't know the ReST syntax specifications, you can take these as a reference:
Plugin for GEdit
Plugin for VIM
You just need to translate these to the Colorer syntax and you'll have ReST highlighting in Eclipse.

I'm interested in writing eclipse plugins where do I start?
What resources have helped you?
I'm looking for:
1. Tutorials
2. Sites devoted to plugin development
3. Books
I have done quite a bit with an RCP application that made use of multiple plug-ins. This book helped me tremendously in all fronts: RCP framework and plug-in development:
http://www.amazon.com/Eclipse-Rich-Client-Platform-Applications/dp/0321334612
The book walks you through the development of a IM chat client using RCP and plug-in development.
Also the eclipse site and IBM have some pretty good tutorials, here is one: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-ecplug/
You can find a good step by step detailed tutorial here:
http://www.eclipsepluginsite.com/
Other tutorials:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-eclipse-snippet/index.html?ca=dgr-lnxw16RichEclipse
http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipsePlugIn/article.html
A decent book, that I've used is "Eclipse: Building Commercial-Quality Plug-Ins".
The RCP book mentioned above is great
Also there are some older online articles on the eclipse site starting with http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-RCP-1/tutorial1.html. Unfortunately they are a bit out of date.
Eclipse's own Help contains a Platform Plug-in Developer Guide. It is a suggested reading in IBM's site.
I'm trying to build a plugin myself. After reading a little bit of "Eclipse Plug-ins" book I missed a more tutorial style writing. Vogella tutorial is quite good. After doing it, I started reading some Eclipse code (as described by Vogella in his tutorial). And now I found the Eclipse's Help resource.
Here's all the books available for developing Eclipse Plugins:

As Eclipse RCP is also based on plug-ins this might also help: Eclipse RCP Introduction
