This question has been asked on eclipse.newcomer a couple of times now, so I thought it might be worthwhile to put a response in the blogosphere. How do I display the System.out console in a view in my Eclipse RCP application? The answer has two parts. To start, you can...

Matt Chapman, AJDT Project Lead, has authored an excellent paper on using the Eclipse AspectJ Development Tools to develop code using AspectJ. It’s been published on Eclipse Corner Articles.
