Eclipse Tutorial

3. IDE++ Programmers interact with IDEs.
These interactions express programmer thought processes and work habits; in aggregate, they track project evolution.
We advocate: by capturing and exploiting this rich interaction information, we can build the next generation of “super smart” IDEs.

4. Examples
Recommender: an Eclipse expert looking over your shoulder, ready to help
Test Reminder: help users to manage and build testing plans

5. User study
We are looking for users’ interactions to understand how they are using their IDEs to help us build more powerful applications.
Help to find out what’s the difference among different users to finish the same project?

6. Cash Prize For dedicated user
$50, $30, $20 for the top three dedicated participants

13. Use External Libraries
Reuse is easy.
Tons of libraries in sourceforge, github, and other open source platforms.
Make your own libraries
Demo

Apache Commons

15. Popular Libraries
Google – guava libraries

16. Use Junit
It is good habits to write unit test cases for every functionality class.
Junit helps to organize and mange your test cases.
Demo

17. Debugging Debugging is important Use System.out.println()
Use logger (Java logging interface, Log4j)
Use Eclipse debugger
