Welcome to this Blog. I am Software Engineer and work for Zühlke Engineering AG in Bern. This is my private blog, in which I will post mainly about technical stuff like Software Engineering or IT related topics. The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent those of my employer.
If you work often with several workspaces, it would be helpful to have the name of the workspace in the title bar. In Eclipse, there is a simple trick to add the name to the title bar. Just start Eclipse with the option -showlocation.
Of course, it only make sense, if you use several workspaces. E.g. one for Java 1.5 projects and another for Java 1.4 projects. Just create a shortcut to Eclipse and define with the option -data the path to the workspace.
If you have a large project, it would be helpful to limit a search to a specific set of classes, e.g. all testclasses or all application sources. In Eclipse, there is the ability of defining working sets. A working set defines a set of classes or files. For example, I defined in my current project 3 working sets. One with all project sources, one with all test sources and one with all application sources. Now, if I use the search (CTRL + H) or the open dialogs of Types (CTRL+SHIFT+T) or Resources (CTRL+SHIFT+R), I can define, in which working set I want to find or open something.
Just try it out: 
Or in an open dialog: 
Today I’m going to show you two other important shortcuts. Both shortcuts are useful inside a class and offers an inline search.
CTRL + T (t for type), which shows the type hierarchy:
CTRL + O (o for outline), which shows all members:
Putty is a simple SSH client with a simple interface. Sometimes, too simple. I use Putty a lot and have often some concurrent connections. And I really missed a tabbed interface.
Thanks for people, who have the same problems and have the time to solve the problem. Just have a look at the PuTTY Connection Manager. This tiny tool just wrapps around Putty and adds a tabbed interface.

Sometimes, it’s very useful to watch the source code of a class file. But for this comfort, it’s necessary to download the source files and attach them in Eclipse. With the most important libraries, it make sense to spend time with downloading sources. But not with all rarely used libraries. A simple solution is the use of JadClipse. JadClipse decompiles class files with the help of the Jad Decompiler on the fly. There is no need for any source any more (of course, there are the usual limitations with decompilation).
Just download it and install it like described on the homepage (you also need to download the Jad Decompiler executable from the Jad website).
