Essential Open Source Toolset: Programming with Eclipse, JUnit, CVS, Bugzilla, Ant, Tcl/Tk and More

I used this book twice as a text for a summer class reading class for students in an executive MS program at UT Austin. There were 9 students the first summer, 7 the second summer.I really liked the concept of the book, and the set of topics is very good - the only topic I didn't like was the material on slicing & the only topics I felt were missing were shell scripts and logging.This the the first edition of the book, and some of the shortcomings I'm pointing out below stem from the fact that it's a first edition, hopefully the authors will have a second edition that takes care of these issues.1.) Some of the chapters could do with more written and programming problems.2.) Source the assignments is not available online (and the versions I got from the authors was buggy, e.g., for testing the primes program).3.) The emphasis on C should be reduced, maybe even removed completely. All the C oriented tools - lex, yacc, doxygen, etc., have counterparts in Java now. I would also remove tcl, replace it with a more mainstream scripting language (i.e., Perl).4.) The material on code tuning and IDEs could also be more detailed.
