Book still relevant?

I have a copy of 'Building Commercial Quality Plugins' circa 2004. I
didn't have a chance to go through much of it back then, but I'd like to
start maybe developing some plugins.

Is the book still relevant or have there sufficient changes to the way
plugins are built that would necessitate getting a new copy?

Thanks,

there's a second edition from 2006 covering Eclipse 3.2
of course much happens with 3.3 and 3.4 - think you should contact the
authors if they plan a new edition.
the concepts "how to build commercial quality plugins" of course are
still valid.

you should also watch for the 2nd edition of the rcp book
