Keybindings

  • Ctrl-Shift-r - Open a resource by name
  • Alt-Shift-w - Show the open resource in the explorer (combined with above, greatly reduces clicking)
  • Ctrl-Shift-g - References to currently selected java function
  • Ctrl-1 - Quick fix
  • Ctrl-2 r - In-place rename
  • Ctrl-Shift-o - Organize imports
  • Control-t - Quick type hierarchy (use on a session bean method name to find the implementation)

Project tweaks

You should mark directories with generated files (e.g. your bin) as "Derived" - this has several effects, but the most important is they don't show up in Ctrl-Shift-r; i.e. you won't get Foo.class when you're looking for Foo.java. To mark something like this, right-click on the folder, select Properties, then check Derived.
