Suzy:

...ya I would say that was a tip. How's about pasting the same message into 
another message titled Eclipse: Tip#5.

I'm keeping a log of all these type messages and perhaps someone else is and 
hopefully finds them uselful.

Hi Jim,

I am just getting started with eclipse. I did figure out that I can hold down 
the control and tap the F6, 7, or 8 and cycle through everything. At first I 
thought it was like control F4, not needing other taps of F4. Is this a tip or 
am I just learning more. I am reading the eclipse cookbook from BookShare.

Anna:

Sorry, don't know how to resolve this one.... However, the recommended standard 
is to implicitly import the required files. ...for example if you import:

Import java.utils.*:

...the human readability factor goes down. Essentially really knows what sub 
features of this jar you are using with out reading every line of code.

Hi Jim!



I don't use this keystroke but by some means Eclipse automatically puts imports 
for me.

It puts a separate import for each refered class.

The problem is that when there are too many imports from the same package, I 
want to combine them into a single import using *.

Eclipse completely ignores what I do, and again puts a separate import for each 
refered class.

Do you know how to fix it?



Thank you,

Anna

Eclipse: Tip #4 Dec 04, 2009



...did you know that while editing a class, if you make a reference to lets say 
another class with in a method or class body you can add the necessary imports 
by simply using ctrl + shift + the letter o.... Eclipse is intelligent enough 
to know what imports are required to satisfy the compiler....
