I do have a question. when I end up in the eclipse main window, is there a quick way to switch to the project explorer? Secondly, is there another way to switch to a list of projects in the workspace somehow? This has always kind of confused me. I think other than that, I sort of like eclipse. It doesn't have the ease of use and all that vs does, but it works well enough.

Don't we all? I've been putting off learning more of java for some time. Today I got a wild hair, went and downloaded the jdk and eclipse again and got going. I looked at Jim's tutorial to kind of give me a kick-start; those were very well written. The only thing I noticed is you mix up your keystrokes. for example control+shift sometimes becomes control+alt. I don't want to nit-pick, just figured it might be useful for you to know.

The most important command to know when getting started is control-shift-l it lists all the other commands. If you're on a mac its cmd-shift-l but it does the same thing. From there you should be able to get started. One thing you might want to read up on is the difference between workspaces and perspectives and the usage of both. If you can understand that you're a long way on becoming a eclipse genius. ken -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Florian-achtige Sent: Monday, June 20, 2011 1:29 PM To: programmingblind Subject: Eclipse! Don't we all? Hi, I am a complete supermega-newbie when it comes to eclipse. I am just about to get my feet wet with it and was wondering, what am i supposed to know about it? Mostly I'm interested in accessibility tips/quirks/features/bugs/any other tidbit thats known. Is there some place I should go for info about eclipse in general, whats a good getting started tutorial? I am willing to rtfm if i know where the m is xd. Lastly, what version of eclipse should i be grabbing? I plan to mainly do java coding and perhaps some python later. But i hear talk of galileo, helios .....what do i grab? Also, i see the swt packages are being offered for download separately but aren't they supposed to be included in the eclipse distribution? Ok ...I think that's all my questions for now :D Thanks for any help you guys can provide, Florian __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind-- Take care, Ty my website: http://tds-solutions.net my blog: http://tds-solutions.net/blog skype: st8amnd127 My programs don't have bugs; they're randomly added features! __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind This e-mail and any attachments to it are confidential and are intended solely for use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
