Hi Michael

Take a look at Noopur's High
productivity development with Eclipse and Java 8talk. The slides are at the bottom.

Hi,

in the next weeks I will give some Java tutorials for experienced
non-java programmers. My idea is teach Java together with eclipse. 
The formula is
   
   Java = language + libraries + IDE;
   IDE = eclipse;

The last 3 years or so, I have been using mostly IntelliJ products 
(because I do _javascript_ and web development). So, my day to day 
knowledge of eclipse with Java is a bit rusty.

Therefore I am looking for tips, like shortcuts, cool options and
commands, hidden features of JDT and helpful plugins that make 
eclipse really shine for Java developers.

So, what are your favorite ticks and tips that make Java development
with eclipse really fun?

Any resources with good tips and tricks?

Any plugin that really boosts the experience?

Here are some tips I have on my list:
  - save actions
  - static members for content assist 
      Preferences->Java->Editor->Content
Assist->Favorites 
       add org.junit.Assert
  - for plain java programs use execution environments
  - write x= foo(); and then let quickfix declare x
  - generate seters/getters
  - generate equals/hash
  - ...


There are some (language independent) IntelliJ features 
I miss in eclipse. Are there any plugins that add those features?

  Cmd-D     Duplicate the current selection (the
same as
            Cmd-C
Cmd-V Cmd-V, but without loosing the current
            paste
buffer)

  Cmd-E     Shows a list of recently used editors
and
            if you
hit Cmd-E again it selects the next
            file
in the list and you can navigate with the
            keyboard
and hitting ENTER jumps to the editor
            or view:



 Cmd-Shift-V  show a history of the paste buffer
