Eclipse tutorial
Opening a new project
Select Java

In this case the
project file will be
in
~/.eclipse/Example
Class name
Inheritance
definition
Choosing Interface
Choosing functions to
add
Add javadoc Yes/No
This is
the
result
Select a method
from the menu
And the cursor
“jumps” to the
method’s position
Put the cursor on the
method’s name,
press Alt+Shift+j
and we generate
javadoc
Here we try to put an int in a
String object. On the sidebar
we have a red X and a lamp,
which means Eclipse has a
solution for us
Red X means
code with an
error
After pressing Ctrl+s we get the
list of errors in the problems tab
Eclipse offers us
completions for the
subclass methods
We can also ask Eclipse
to complete strings for
us. Write the prefix,
press alt+I,
And that is what
you get
Parameter hints: pressing
Ctrl+Alt+spacebar, gives the
possible method parameters
In case of a mistake, press
Ctrl+1 to get possible
corrections
Choose a name to
the variable, and
replace all of it’s
occurrences
If we want to make a
variable from a
constant, mark it and
press Alt+Shift+l
And that is what
you get
Choose name,
properties, and
generate javadoc
The same with methods. Mark the
relevent lines in the code, press
Alt+Shift+m
And this is what
you get
Choose extract

Choose a name for
the interface
Choose functions
for the interface
Writing a new class
Now you need to add

you get
In order to complete a for loop, put
the cursor on the edge of the word
“for”, and press Ctrl+spacebar
Before running the
program, we need to
define the run

Choose project
Choose the
class with the
main() method
Left click twice on a
line in the code sets
a breakpoint.
Pressing Ctrl+F11 runs the
program
In order to run in a
state where the
program stops at
breakpoints, we
press only F11
We see the run details in
the debug window
After halting, there F8: resume run until
are several options:. next breakpoint
F5 Step Into - Terminate
execute the next line
in the code. If it is a
method, execute the
first code line in the
method.
F6 Step Over –
execute the next line
in the code. If it is a
