Here is the list of all 380 default shortcuts keys for eclipse Ganymede in an easy to print layout (4 pages A4). I recommend you to print a booklet out of it. Nobody on Internet is currently providing such a list, except a sourceforge project but their keys binding is for eclipse 2.1,Others keys binding for eclipse will follows soon.

3rd party plugin shortcuts:

• Oxygen XML editor
• Subversive SVN
• Codehaus M2Eclipse Maven

This visualization, called code_swarm, shows the history of commits in a software project. A commit happens when a developer makes changes to the code or documents and transfers them into the central project repository. Both developers and files are represented as moving elements. When a developer commits a file, it lights up and flies towards that developer. Files are colored according to their purpose, such as whether they are source code or a document. If files or developers have not been active for a while, they will fade away. A histogram at the bottom keeps a reminder of what has come before.

this is how it look like with eclipse from eclipse.org

 An experiment in organic software visualization.

Starting Tomcat in eclipse

i get the following exceptions:

"With tomcat 4.x, things become simpler, but this version of tomcat uses the jaxp sax parser factory. Moreover, this version of tomcat requires a validating parser, and it doesn"t check whether the parser actually is validating. If the AElfred parser is supplied in the system properties, an exception will be thrown when tomcat attempts to set validating on. I"d recommend using the (validating) xerces 1.4.4 sax parser rather than AElfred parser. It"s not safe to rely on the default parser, by not setting system properties, because it"s very likely there are several versions of the JAXP classes in the classpath, and who knows when you might get another one. The practice by the distributors of XML tools to include implementations of the JAXP classes in their own jar files is, of course, rather insane, but that"s the way it is.

Do this,
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory",
"org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl");=20
but also do this
System.setProperty("org.xml.parsers.sax.parser",
"org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");=20
since many third party tools base the parser choice on =
"org.xml.parsers.sax.parser" rather than use the SAXParserFactory.

in eclipse add the following key to the launcher in VM arguments

-Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=com.icl.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl
-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl
-Dorg.xml.parsers.sax.parser=org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser

"In the interests of creating employment opportunities in the Java programming field, I am passing on these tips from the masters on how to write code that is so difficult to maintain, that the people who come after you will take years to make even the simplest changes. Further, if you follow all these rules religiously, you will even guarantee yourself a lifetime of employment, since no one but you has a hope in hell of maintaining the code. Then again, if you followed all these rules religiously, even you wouldn't be able to maintain the code!
You don't want to overdo this. Your code should not look hopelessly unmaintainable, just be that way. Otherwise t stands the risk of being rewritten or refactored."
