Subject: [program-java] Eclipse: List of Commonly Used Features... Part III
7. References:
When debugging or analyzing an existing project I often like to note where a
method is used in a project. Around here anyway, we often write methods that
are generic so they can be used in many places. So here's what I do to locate
all the references for a given method.
I. From the class where the method is declared I place my cursor on the actual
name of said method.
II. I right click and scroll the pop up menu until I locate "References. It has
a sub menu and I next select Project.
III. This could be a rather lengthy task but as soon as JFW / your screen
reader goes silent. Use CTRL + Shift + TAB five times until you land on a tree
view. This tree will list the class and methods. Scrolling the Tree or its
child nodes will expose the areas where the calls to that particular method are
made. Hitting enter on a given element will place you directly where it is
called.
Much more handy then trying to search for the method.
6. List of Applicable Options in a given Context.
CTRL + Space Bar and the TAB Key.
...an example would be if you use the key word "throws" The use of the
previously mentioned key strokes will list all the exceptions for that given
context. I don't really know how better to explain it other than what I have
written.
5. Intellisense...
When dealing with an object, and you want a list of methods or properties
associated with same.... Press the period key directly after the object name,
then press the TAB key. A list of items will appear and by using the up and
down arrows the list will expand. Select the option and press the enter key.
