Customize eclipse.

Table of Contents

1 Use Eclispe

2 Use save actions

Save actions are done by Eclipse prior to saving the file.

Why

If you compare a file to an older version stored in the repository you don't want to see changes done by the save actions. It is important that all developer use the same Settings.

How

Use Window -> Preferences and select Save Actions (from Java Editor and from Javascript Editor). Select Format Source and Organize Imports.

3 Use Working Sets and Close Project

Allows to group projects in Package Explorer. Allows to close unrelated projects.

Why

Allows you to filter projects visible in the Package Explorer. Group projects, e.g, according to state of the project, type of the project and version or customer.

How

In Package Explorer (Java perspective) click on View Menue (triangle icon in top bar) and choose Configure Working Sets and set Top Level Elements to Working Sets.

In Java EE click on View Menue and choose Select Working Set.

On Project rightclick and choose Close Project or Close Unrelated projects.
