I've been trying to switch over to a MacBook pro, and wanted to get
Eclipse running there. Downloaded
"eclipse-jee-helios-SR1-macosx-cocoa-x86.tar.gz" and expanded it,
started the Eclipse app.
So, where are all the context menus?
(A) I need to buy one of those external mice that has a
right-mouse-button, since Eclipse, unlike every other Mac app, depends
on having context-menus accessed through the right-mouse-button: is that
what I need to do?
(B) There is some trick that everyone except me knows (so it does not
appear in googling or any FAQ or in Eclipse help) that is how Eclipse
does all context menus in Mac: if so, what is it?
thanks
Paul

The general name for the signal you want to give is apparently
"secondary click." There are several ways to do this with a trackpad:
1. "Control-click" (hold down the "control" button and click.
2. Use the "Trackpad" preference pane (available through System
Preferences) to choose one of several ways: a two-finger click, or a
click in one corner of the trackpad.
