My Favorite Eclipse Shortcut - Quick Fix. Eclipse is one of those great tools that is both easy to learn and extremely powerful.
Eclipse's power comes, in part, from the number of features it offers, which seems to grow with every new release. This creates a problem though; the more features that are added to Eclipse, the more difficult it is to find them. This article focuses on one feature that every Eclipse user should know about: Quick Fix. Let's say you're creating a class from scratch and you need to add a variable. Because you're working in Java, you'll also need to specify a type. Wouldn't it be great if Eclipse could handle this tedium for you? Enter Quick Fix. Eclipse recognizes that List is a new type.

Digg Man, I’m such an impatient guy.
I cringe whenever I see somebody squint and frown, looking for a JSP file in Eclipse by browsing painfully through the gazillion JSPs in multiple folders in the Package Explorer. I squirm whenever I see somebody looking for a Java class by clicking through packages, one by one, backtracking if it’s the wrong package, and so on, until he sees the correct Java class.

Open a type (e.g.: a class, an interface) without clicking through interminable list of packages: Ctrl + Shift + T.

How do I diagnose this problem. I'm running version 3.2 of eclipse and 5.0 GA of MyEclipse. I've tried rebooting the machine but that didn't help.
