Making Eclipse Usable

As a Vim user, I have found it really hard to get back to using Eclipse. For big Java projects, using Eclipse can improve productivity tremendously. Here's what I have done to make Eclipse usable:

• Install Vrapper for Vim bindings
• Update site: http://vrapper.sourceforge.net/update-site/stable
• Install the Eclipse Color Theme Plugin which comes with a great set of default color schemes
• Update site: http://eclipse-color-theme.github.com/update/
• My favorite color scheme so far is Wombat
• Install Maven
• Update site: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases
• Use smaller font sizes for overall appearance on Linux
• Some Eclipse IDE settings:
• Toggle mark occurrences (Alt-Shift-O)
• Enable line number
• Disable line highlighting
• Smaller font sizes for Editor and Console
