How to develop Eclipse GUI plugins

I want to develop a GUI plugin inside Eclipse such that I can expose a set of tasks and the user can drag-drop the tasks in the editor canvas and create connections between them like a workflow. A -> B -> C. In the background this would generate a set of Java classes with custom code. Any pointers to what resources do I have for such a plugin ?

Besides the basic SWT/Eclipse references given by Stephen, you could look into GEF for the graphical part, perhaps in its combination with EMF in GMP. For generating the target code, you could look into Jet or Xpand.

These books are a good place to start:

And of course, there's the Eclipse documentation.
