Enhancing Developer Productivity using Eclipse
Presented by: Tom Sausner
Goals
• To give those unfamiliar with eclipse a view on what it is and how it works.
• Discuss Java development workflow from an eclipse perspective.
• Show and Tell: demonstration projects
• Not an Eclipse vs. ? Shootout.
• Interactive
Eclipse Info
• What is Eclipse?
• Download from www.eclipse.org
• Brief History
• Currently migrating from CPL to EPL
Eclipse Architecture
•
QuickTime™ and aTIFF (LZW) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
The Workbench
• Perspectives– Perspectives usually organized around tasks.
• Perspectives contain– Editors – Views
• Editors are associated with file types• Main purpose of views is to support editors
and provide alternate navigation
Project Creation
• Project– Project natures indicate personality (e.g. Java,
HTML, etc.)
– Projects contain resources (files and directories)
• Project types Simple, Java, PDE, many others.
• Each project maps to one directory• Importing - file system, source repository. • Working Sets
Java Development Toolkit
• Package Explorer– Label decorations– Project Preferences
• Common views– Outline View
• Outline popup.
– Tasks, Bookmarks and Fast Views
• Searching code
Eclipse Preferences
• Java -> Code Style, suffix List, code format
• Java->Editor->Templates
• Java->BuildPath
• Export and Import preferences
JDT II
• Navigation – between editor window ( tabs)– Last edit location ctrl-Q– Reordering View and Editor Tabs
• Code Complete, Templates• Code Assist - CTRL-Space• Method Parameter hints - CTRL-Shift-Space• Quick Fix• Surrounding code in a block• Organize imports
JDT - Popup Menu
• Declaration• References• Source
– format, – getters/setters– block commands
• Refactoring – rename, move, change method signature
Run/Debug
• Applications, Applets, and JUnit tests
• Run parameters, Run Dialog
• Debugging Perspective
• Run Code Snippets in Scrapbook
Eclipse and Ant
• Ant View - sensitive to ant syntax• Ant Support - create and run ant files
– Run->External Tools– Execute ant targets from the outline view
• Ant output is displayed in the console view.
CVS/SVN Repository Exploring
• CVS and Subversion plug-ins available
• Repository browsing
• Project creation, branching and version control
• Compare branches, look at history
• Tagging
Team Synchronizing
• Update – Repository -> your local copy
• Commit– your changes -> Repository
• Automatic merge, prompt for manual help
• Difference view.• Overrides
Plug-ins
• Except for the Platform Core, all Eclipse functionality is implemented as plug-ins
• Plug-ins catalog – eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/plugins.jsp
• Installation– Drag-N-Drop– Help->Software Updates…->Find and Install.
• Some plug-ins are very version sensitive.
Tomcat Plug-in Demo
• Setup - tell the plug-in where tomcat is installed.
• Stop and Start tomcat from w/in eclipse.
• Create and debug a simple jsp page.
• Create and debug a simple servelet
• http://www.sysdeo.com/eclipse/tomcatPlugin.html
Hibernate/DB Plug-in demo
• Demonstrate ORM in eclipse
• Demo Database Plug-in
• Edit xml files with XMLBuddy.
• Using Ant from Eclipse
Some Eclipse Sub-Projects
• Test and Performance Tools Platform– Frameworks for tool vendors
• Web Tools Platform– J2EE friendly editors & wizards
• Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT)– Web or PDF based reports.
My Favorites Eclipse Shortcuts
• Ctrl-shift-o… fixes up imports• Ctrl - space … invokes code completion
& code templates• Pop-up menu for references,
declarations, and refactoring.• Outline view• Quick Fix ctrl-1
