Question Title Can you recommend a book for learning the Eclipse based isCOBOL IDE?
Question:

I understand that the isCOBOL IDE is based on Eclipse. I guess is that I had better get up to speed on using Eclipse. What would be a good resource for that? Can you recommend a book?

Answer:

The most up-to-date documentation, training and tutorials for Eclipse are available on the web athttp://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/ and http://www.eclipse.org/resources/

Check out the resource in the Getting Started section at http://www.eclipse.org/resources/?category=Getting%20Started
