Is there a Web site that lists the things you do differently when you use
Eclipse on a Mac (as opposed to a Windows computer)? Any help is
appreciated. I don't even know what the equivalent of right-click is on a
Mac.
Thanks.

I'm not aware of such a list.
And since most of the differences between Eclipse on Mac and Eclipse on
Windows are not Eclipse specific, they are addressed on any site that
explains how the Mac UI maps to the Windows UI.
E.g. A Windows right-click is a Control-left click on Mac (or just a
right-click if you have a mouse with > 1 button).

The most important difference I found is to use the 'java_swt' VM
instead of 'java'. And AFAIK Andre is the guy to explain why :)

jfyi,

Correct, but this is only important if you want to build SWT applications
(and java_swt will go away sooner than later).

You can find infos about this in the readme_eclipse.html (int the readme
directory of your Eclipse install).

I don't have a Mac, so I'm looking for a list of such differences. Is there
such a list? Thanks.
