Good idea, Alex.  I went ahead and took care of it, so the archive at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/java_doc.zip

Now contains the file
Eclipse tutorial by Jim Corbett.txt
As well as over 100 more text tutorials that I added today. The additional tutorials are mainly about other languages that target the Java Virtual Machine, such as Groovy, Scala, Jruby, and Jython. There are tutorials on the Groovy-based web framework called Grails and the Scala-based one called Lift. There is more Eclipse documentation as well.

That was simply amazing! Did he write more? Where is this guy? That needs to be placed into a text or htm file for the java archive, I think. Thank you so much for sharing that. Jamal, if you are lurking, would you add this to the java documentation if I make this into a txt file or an htm file? Which would be best? Please let me know. 

Thanks.

Hmm, for me, is very simple to work with eclipse.
There are some kind of concepts you must understand.
First of all there exists a perspective.
A perspective is a preconfigured eclipse workbench for a purpose.
For example there is j2ee perspective, php perspective database design
perspective.
In this perspective you will find open more "views" and "Editors".
Views are open windows inside the main eclipse window, windows for a
specific purpose.
For example in java perspective,
you will find package explorer, console and so on.
Tu move around views use the ctrl + f7 key strocke.
Editors are a special kind of view, that permits editing actions with
their objects.
I am using eclipse on a daily basis for java development, j2ee
development, birt development, php development, dotnet development.

Welcome to the wild whacky world of eclipse the accessible Ide that
is a pain in the ahem ... class  ... to learn because the obvious
isn't obvious and the intuitive stuff never made it into production.
It sounds like you are in the project explorer.  Tab around and see
if you land in a tree view.  If you can do this, arrow to your file
and use the context menu to edit it.  Also type shift alt q to get a
list of all the hotkeys eclipse has.
Try going to alt w and the show view submenu.  See if you can tell it
to go to the project explorer if you are not already there.
Sorry I can't be of more use.  I was using eclipse's cdt for c++
development and eventually gave up on it because, accessible or not,
I didn't find the app itself very user-friendly and the manuals I
landed on were very sketchy and rather  unhelpful to the beginner.  I
hope your experience is different.  You are actually using the IDE
for its original intended purpose.  The documentation for java
developers is probably much more extensive.  In fact, now I think of
it there are some eclipse manuals on eclipse in the java archive of
the nonvisual development site.  They are probably for an older
version but, you might check them out.  They may help you.

Good luck,
Alex M

Hi,
This is my first Hello World type project, so I'm probably doing
something totally wrong.

I get to the part where I tell the program the name of my file. I
typed in Welcome.java with a capital W. It sounded like an edit
window came up when I pressed Enter. When I try to type characters
just to see if I can read and write text, I can't seem to read
anything. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
