Jim:

I personally don't want to put it up there but if you have the time go ahead. I 
give you permission to do so if you acknowledge where it came from.

I mentioned tutorials and apparently they can be found on this list's archive.

I really don't have much time left in the day after coding for nine hours, 
training and working on my son's race bikes. The last thing I want to do when 
away from work is to see another computer.

Hay Jim C,
Would you want to put some of this stuff up on 
http://www.nonvisualdevelopment.org?

Ok Suzy:

Here is the beginning of a list. ...as the Lord of the Wastelands I command 
each of you to participate by adding a feature and a brief description of what 
it does and more importantly what it does for you. Anyone know the song I 
referenced?

1. Adding Methods:

Alt + S + R (\Source\Generate Getters and Setters) I find this extremely 
helpful when I'm creating a bean / form bean. I first type in all the private 
members. Next I evoke the alt + s + r and I'm presented with a window that 
lists all the members and a treeview that will allow me to select or deselect 
the getters and setters for each. Tab through the dialogue and add or change 
the default behaviour at will. Press the Ok button and there you go a fully 
generated bean, all accessor methods added properly spelled, arranged by getter 
then setter for each member and in the case of a getter on a boolean the name 
is prefixed with "is" as in isThisHelpful()..

2. Adding Imports....

CTRL + Shift + O will add the necessary imports fully qualified and as well 
delete the ones that are not needed.

3.

Okay, I'll keep struggling. Please please just give Jim and me a quick review 
of these wonderful features grin.

Suzy:

I sound like a broken record here but you can disable lots of features from the 
"Preferences" window, but my question would simply be why. 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

I began programming Java with Text Pad. 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.

Hi,
Take this for what it's worth to you. 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.

Jim

Yes. 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).

Hi Suzy:

Do you have my tutorials.... There are many tips and tricks with in. Aside from 
reincarnation, we will never be as fast as a sighted person but how are they 
when the lights go out....

Have you actually tried CTRL + .?

Hi Listers,



You just can't believe how fast these sighted folks can work with Eclipse. 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. What is the fastest way to work with Eclipse?
