Chapter 1. Plugging in to JFace and the Common Navigator Framework

JFace is the set of widgets that comprise the Eclipse user interface, and it builds on top of the Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT). JFace also provides a number of standard higher-level tools that can provide interaction with users, such as wizards and standard navigator plug-ins.

In this chapter, we will create a news feed reader using a JFace wizard, and then we will contribute it to the common navigator so that it shows up in views such as the Package Explorer view.
