[REQUEST] Eclipse tutorial
Posted: Wed Jun 16, 2010 9:56 am
Since as i hear every self-respecting java developer is using THAT same tool i thought it'll be nice to give some tutorials about it by you...the l2j devs. I'm new in java and i'm new in eclipse and i find it hard. Sure i added the SVN support and all those fancy stuff but few things i miss
1. Somehow it haven't "inspected" the l2jserver project and it doesn't have good code completion (uses vars from the same file and not the imports)
2. (javaDoc) The so called one of the best features of java (read that somewhere)...the javaDoc (the commects /** */) says nothing in my console...i select a method and no info about it >.<
3. I have no idea where most of the variables and constants are coming from...serioously. Guess that has something to do with me being new to the project and inspecting the sources for like 2-3 hours now. 1 feature i miss a lot is when i ctrl+click on a var/method/class/function/constant/ and i get redirected where it is defined. Now i've seen that eclipse have that functionality...just i dont seem to use it >.>
4. I've seen some other forks of l2j uses Maven to "compile" (google give a lot of info >.<) but i don't see in this forum's guides anything about maven. Do you use it ? Should i add it to my eclipse plugins or i shouldn't ?
If somebody is up to the task to write such tutorial it would be nice. At least i will understand the code A LOT faster. Not just answering those question but something like "best practices" of eclipse for novice devs of L2J. I saw you have such tutorials you guys are trying to help the new developers and i think that such a tutorial can help a lot. It has nothing to do with java but a working in condition IDE makes things faster.
If there is such thread already please post me a link...i searched for eclipse got 69 pages of results and i gave up on page 45 >.<
