Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Most of Java developers are using eclipse and its been quite trivial to know and remember all the shortcuts during the development time. And of course we don’t need all of them. I have been collecting some shortcuts based on the user frequent experiences and the way they develop software. Following TOP 10 Eclipse Shortcuts helps everyone in their happy day coding.

Ctrl + / : Line Comment
Alt + Shift + R : Rename
Alt + Shift + L : extract to Local Variable

ALT + arrow to move one or more rows of code up or down
ALT + SHIFT + J to auto create javadoc – developers, please create javadoc.
ALT + SHIFT + X for more quick shortcuts
I personally like ALT+SHIFT+X, to run Java Application
ALT+SHIFT+Q, to run ant build
