Subject: Re: Eclipse: Totally Dumb Questions
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.
