I am new to to Eclipse RCP and SWT/JFace. I intend to purchase the Second Edition of the well known Eclipse Rich Client Platform book by Jeff McAffer, Jean-Michel Lemieux, Chris Aniszczyk. I wish to know from people who have read any of the editions of the book whether the book serves as a good introduction to both the topics (RCP and SWT/JFace)? Or would I need separate reading material for SWT/JFace?

I read the first edition of the book in 2007 when I started a project with Eclipse RCP development.
It was a really useful introduction on how to build RCP applications and what concepts are used by Eclipse.
Two other books that I read later are good follow-ups when you finished that book:
Although the second one is a bit dated, the concepts explained are still the same in the heart of Eclipse.
Another thing I did to learn more Eclipse RCP/JFace/SWT was to look at the source code of two great open-source projects built on Eclipse:
MP3M is especially interesting since the author tries to keep it up to date with the changes that newer Eclipse versions bring to the platform.
