The document discusses tips and tricks for using Eclipse 3.7, including how to use Mylyn to manage tasks and context, import external libraries and source code, and connect to various bug tracking systems. Specifically, it covers configuring Mylyn to work with tasks, queries, and context from repositories like Bugzilla; adding external JAR libraries and source code; and getting plug-in source from project set files, the Plug-in Spy tool, or version control repositories.
