This blog is about useful Eclipse shortcuts ,this list is by no means complete and I will suggest you guys to share eclipse shortcuts listed other than here to make this more useful.Knowing Eclipse shortcuts not only improve your productivity but also makes your more efficient, you will have more time for things you like to do.I was big fan of Netbeans IDE before coming across Eclipse because I was from J2ME background and Netbeans provide sofisticated IDE environment to enable you to build, debug and run your application in various emulator including some advanced processing options e.g. PreProcessing , setting up Exception breakpoint etc.
But when I join a big bank I came acorss Eclipse IDE , since everybody in my team is using and etbeans IDE was not available in company ( don't know why that was not allowed netbeans even though it was free) I have decided to go Eclipse way , later I found that Eclipse was most suited for those application give some of cool feature of eclipse e.g. Remote Debugging, Conditionnal Breakpoint , Exception breakpoint and Ctrl+T and Ctrl+R kind of shortcuts.
