Tools for development

See the setup page for info on how to setup your machines.

Below are some useful menu items in Eclipse that you should consider using:

Edit > Show Tooltip Description: toggle the display of the tooltip containing documentation about the element on which the carret is pointing at.
Source > Organize Imports: automatically adds all the missing imports.
Source > Format: nicely reformats your source code.
Source > Generate Element Comment: inserts a javadoc block comment for the element on which the carret is pointing at.

Also, the shortcut ctrl+space gives you an auto-complete menu.
