Two Tips For Using Eclipse Correctly and Quickly

by Virginia Campbell

Nowadays, the development and penetration rate of technology is increasing rapidly. More and more people are beginning to try to learn science and technology. They use professional knowledge and coding to use computers to accomplish their tasks and intentions. These tasks usually require programming to complete. Eclipse is an open source, Java-based extensible platform. Although Eclipse is developed by Java, its use is not limited to Java. Plug-ins for programming languages such as C/C++, COBOL, PHP, etc. are also available. The Eclipse framework can also be used as the basis for other types of applications. And the applications are not related to software development. Such as content management system. Using Eclipse well can make better use of programming to complete the work and intentions. This article will introduce the tips of the correct use of Eclipse.

(1).Use shortcut keys correctly

The use of shortcut keys not only represents a familiarity with the software. But it also enables you to quickly and accurately complete the desired tasks when using the software. Using shortcut keys proficiently will help us to type code. This requires the correct use of shortcut keys. There are many shortcut keys. But these ten shortcut keys are recommended to be accurately mastered.

1. Ctrl+shift+r: Open resource.

2. Ctrl+o: Quickly outline.

3. Ctrl+e: Quickly converse the editor.

4. Ctrl+2, L: Assign values to local variables.

5. alt+shift+r: Rename.

6. alt+shift+l and alt+shift+m: Extract local variables and methods.

7. Ctrl+shift+enter: Insert a blank line before the current line.

8.Alt+arrow keys: Move the content of the current line up or down.

9.Ctrl+m: Maximize the editor window.

10. Ctrl+. and Ctrl+1:Switch to the next error and modify quickly.

(2) The necessary installation plug-in recommendation

Eclipse is a pure version by default. So, its function is very simple. The most powerful thing about open source is its various plug-ins. By using plug-ins, users can reduce the workload of writing a large amount of code. And it can also help users reduce the difficulty of writing code. So, if you want to use Eclipse smoothly, you must learn to install the necessary plug-ins.

1. Hibernate Tools

The plug-in can simplify the development of ORM framework Hibernate, JBoss Seam, EJB3, etc.

2. Quick Image

This plug-in provides an Eclipse editor that can be used to view pictures. You can browse one by one or view all the pictures as thumbnails. It currently supports viewing image formats including gif. jpg. jpeg. png. bmp. ico.

3. Start explorer

Quickly open the location of the local file.

4. Subclipse

Subclipse is a project that adds Subversion support to the Eclipse IDE. It supports all versions of Eclipse and is an essential plug-in for team development.

5. Spring IDE

Spring IDE is an Eclipse plug-in recommended by Spring's official website. It can provide verification of Bean definition files when developing Spring. And visually view the dependencies between each Bean, etc. The newly released Spring IDE adds support for Spring Webflow and is a graphical editor.

Learning to program is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Learning Eclipse software is also a hard and long journey. Master the use of small skills in the software can reduce detours when using the software. In that case can we learn and use Eclipse better.
