Eclipse

I've been using Eclipse since around the beginning of my second year at UT (almost 3 years ago). I didn't really try any tutorials or anything, so I kind of had to pick up on things on the fly. While it did take me a little while to learn some basic things, I quickly learned to love Eclipse (especially compared to BlueJ, my previous Java IDE).

One thing that bothers me though is that I don't really use some of the nicer features of Eclipse. Although apparently, I'm not doing too badly (e.g., I've been telling some people about the "Correct Indentation" tool). Nevertheless though, I'd definitely like to learn more about the things I never touch (e.g., refactoring). In case others want to learn too, I decided to put some links I just searched for:

Some of these may refer to Java only (especially the last one I think), but I think some of it can refer to C++ development as well.
