The Eclipse Project marches on with releases named after the satellites of Jupiter (IO, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto). The latest release has 18 million lines of code. It runs pretty fast with 2MB RAM.
1) Keyboard Shortcuts
The tricky thing initially (if you are used to MSVC) is to get used to a new set of keyboard shortcuts. Here is a quick summary to get started fast:
Cntrl-H search the workspace
Cntrl-F11 run
Simple F11 debug
When you debug (F11) it opens debug perspective.
F5 Step into (five-in)
F6 Step over (six-over)
The debug window at the top of the screen shows you which thread you are running in and which java runtime you are using.
2) Customizing the Editor
Alt-WP gives you the Window Preferences from where you can set line numbers. (General->Editors->Text editors, Show line numbers). Line numbers can be quite ugly but useful when debugging.
