Hi Everett! I'm a novice in Java, so can't help you with that. I just want to share my good experience in learning Eclipse. You don't need any special manual because Eclipse is 99% accessable due to its built-in keystroke assignments. So first bring up Help menu, I believe the 3rd option in that menu is Keyboard Assignments. Get familiar with the list of keystrokes. Then you can start reading Eclipse help topics, they are very comprehensive. Almost everything they describe is accessable with keystrokes. Let me know if you have any problem.
