Yeah. Hard work. > I already have a better IDE, but I want to get used to using Eclipse for > a while because it seems to be an industry standard. Concentrate on the task you have to solve and not the IDE you're using. Eclipse isn't necessarily the best IDE out there. Yes, it is commonly used, as are, for example, NetBeans and IntelliJ. I don't know that it requires any depth of knowledge to use Eclipse effectively. Personally I use it the same way as any other IDE and try not to rely too much on Eclipse-specific features. I also never fold code. Comments occasionally, but not code. Really, just learn to read the code. So it's tough. It's easier than tarring roofs. -- Lew
