Eclipse Tips

  • After updating files in the file system outside of the Eclipse editor, do a refresh.
  • If there is a warning about an error when starting a Java program, but no error is displayed in the package explorer, do a clean.

 

Eclipse Keyboard Shortcuts

  • Key assist (displays a list of keyboard shortcuts): Ctrl-Shift-L
  • Javadoc for a class or a method: Shift-F2
  • Auto-format source code: Ctrl-Shift-F
  • Auto-include import statements: Ctrl-Shift-O

 

Cloning Arrays

  • a.clone() works if a is a one-dimensional array.
    b.clone() does not work if b is a two-dimensional array since the cloning process creates only a single new array. Sub-arrays are shared between the original array and the clone.
