[program-java] Eclipse: Tip #1

Hello:

As time permits, I'll continue with my tutorials but I will also
continue a dialog of Eclipse Tips....

1. Indentation: If you are anything like me you'll have a hard time with
keeping code lined up or nested. With Eclipse it's easy.... CTRL + A to
select all, CTRL I for indentation.

2. Matching Braces: Place your cursor to the right of your brace, CTRL +
Shift + P will take you to the matching right brace. If you have an else
in an if statement, it will also place you on the matching right brace.

3. Intelli Sense: After placing a period, press the tab key once and up
or down arrow through the selection of methods. Locate the one you
require and hit enter. Not only will the method name be placed on your
line but both parentheses. Also, it will indicate different method
signatures.
