Eclipse
Eclipse is a sophisticated IDE, largely written in Java. Its plug-in framework allows other people to contribute functionality, such as Tigris' Subclipse feature.

Useful commands
- Delete current line (Ctrl+D)
- Source -> Organize Imports. Automatically import unimported classes, and remove unused imports.
- Source -> Format. Format source code to adhere to conventions
- Source -> Quick Fix. Place the caret in text with a squiggly red error line under it. Select Source -> Quick Fix to let Eclipse offer solutions to the errors. Very convenient to quickly generate empty methods, classes, et cetera.
- Refactor -> Rename.... Rename a class, field, method or variable and automatically update all uses of the element.
Turning off serialVersionUID warnings
From the menu bar, select Window -> Preferences.... Select the Java -> Compiler -> Errors/Warnings tab. Expand the Potential programming problems item, and set the Serializable class without serialVersionUID item to Ignore. Press OK, and select Yes when Eclipse offers to rebuild.
