~~ IDE tricks ~~

710081Dec 13 2008 — edited Dec 16 2008
I have currently installed

Eclipse 3.4.x for Java development and everything
Eclipse 3.3.x for other languages

NetBeans 6.5 for Java and related technologies

IntelliJ 8

This thread is about tricks and/or shortcuts that you would like to share about these IDE's.

1. The first trick that I prefer is typing in a new Eclipse class "sys" (lowercase) and hit ctrl + space,
press down once and Enter. It will complete like:
System.out.println();
*Note: This behavior is only Eclipse specific. Other IDE's can't do it.

2. Inside a new Eclipse class type: "main" hit ctrl + space and enter.
It will auto complete:
public static void main(String[] args) {
		
	}
**Note: The main trick is Eclipse specific too.

This is it for the first post, please share if you want to.


Ps: I prefer Eclipse because I have used with him during faculty.
