Eclipse

I use the Eclipse IDE at home and at work. This page contains hints for using eclipse effectively and a wish-list of features.

Tips

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20529/useful-eclipse-features rich list of short-cuts etc.
• CTRL+"."

wish list

Some items of the wishlist probably already exist. But they are hard to find.

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12121459/how-to-create-exportable-links-to-code-lines-using-eclipse
• CTRL+SHIFT+U please automatically, with results in an extra-view (so I don't overwrite my manual search)
• resort methods based on previous svn version
• http://code.google.com/p/hierarchism
• generate something that uses all fields, e.g. toString
• have tabs on the right or left stacked vertically. Would be especially useful for editor windows. I use Opera with the tabs on the right and it's great!
