I’m really looking forward to this book. First edition seemed to be a reference, but it’s a bit outdated now like all the other ones, so I’m definitely anticipating its little brother.

Keep it up!

I vote for a thorough explanation of the Contexts system. In the application I’m writing at the moment I’ve got a very hacky implementation that works for enabling / disabling menu items, but I’d like to know how to do it properly…

I was watching your Equinox Ganymede presentation and remembered on more thing: Serializing objects between RCP and a server. Most of those of us who do “business” (can’t think of a better term) applications need to to this (ie via Spring Remoting).

You need to have:

1) Commands, menues, handlers this is all new from 3.4, and there is a lot of really great features.
2) update (as you said yourself), How to do automatic build
3) General review and update to be 3.4 complient
4) Better and more detail description of Job
5) Security framework (sign plugins)

If you want to to do something really nice, - then patterns of views, gets data when not open yet when doing an business application.

1. Presentations
2. Commands
3. More inter-view/editor communication. A lot of us do little “file” programming.
4. RAP

I am sure I will think of more! Thanks for asking. I’m looking forward to the new book. I’ll buy it before it comes out.

I would be useful to cover a topic really missing on the first book:
