A lot of tools have been used behind this work. While each tool performs a specific part of it, all are equally important. I am not only the indebted to the developers of these tools, but also the community behind these tools. Many thanks to them.

Here is a list of tools used (in no particular order) [1]

• Eclipse — The book is about Eclipse itself.
• Sphinx — The documentation system used to create this book.
• Texlive — The system used to convert the documentation into PDF and ready for print.
• Emacs — Not just an editor. [2]
• Mercurial — The distributed configuration management system that has helped organize the work.
• GNU — A whole set of tools. sed, make ,etc.
• ZScreen — To capture the screenshots easily.
• Python Slimmer — To make html files as small as possible
• Some of the icons used in the web site are from http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/

[1]	To err is human. I am sure I have missed a lot of entries in the list.

[2]	Both Emacs and Eclipse have been used for editing reStructuredText files. Emacs is better as reST Editor. Eclipse is better as in IDE.
