This "Plug-in development 101" series of articles is all about developing plug-ins. But before we get started, we need to ensure that we have a proper environment in which to develop plug-ins. The first step is to download an Eclipse distribution that has the Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) in it from Eclipse.org. I recommend downloading the latest version of Eclipse Classic. In this series, we will use a milestone release of Eclipse V3.4 (M5). Once this done, you're ready to go. (See Resources to learn where to find Eclipse and additional background information if you are new to Eclipse.)
