Suzy: That's like saying what dress makes you look pretty. Try some and see what they do for you. I personally like the "Folding" option.

I know that Jim H said that he has a friend that cuts and pastes his source but since Eclipse has such a great editor, my first impression is that it's such a waste to do this. It takes some time to get use to all of the features but life is so much easier when you don't have to worry about the end braces, having to memorise all of the properties or methods of an object, etc. I'm hooked and in love. Now if Eclipse could only serve up that single malt I keep harping about, life would be grand. Jim James M.

I was able to learn all the opening and closing things. I hate that Eclipse helps me so much. I find quite often that I have two of what I wanted because I had so much help.

A friend of mine who is a Java guy, and who is blind, likes to use Eclipse, but he uses his favorite text editor to edit his programs, then he just brings them into Eclipse to compile and make small changes. I guess he uses Eclipse mainly as a repository for his projects. Jim C, I didn't forget about that SWT thing you tried to show me that was going wrong with the scripts. I just haven't been blessed with a big chunk of time to sit down and try to reproduce it. In 3 chapters, I may stop and learn GUI. My book teaches Swing, but I am going to learn SWT. I'm going to need a little project to try to pull together what I know about object orientation by that time. I feel like things are not sticking. But that's partly because I have had to put it down for a little while. I'll get it, though.

I will look again and see what I have saved from you. Back in the days of flow charting I could remember what files on tape were output from each step of a job. All these other folks were thumbing through all their printed material to find the flow chart. Unfortunitely, as the years have passed I can't in good conscience say I can do things as fast. Oh well, I guess I am having a pity party (grin).

I am not hitting the control plus period to take me to the next error. When I hit control plus "s" to save my program it automatically compiles it. Please tell me any other useful hints.
