Eclipse Quick Tip

Word Count: 180
I say that this is an Eclipse quick tip because it should be helpful to all. I mainly use CFEclipse & Flex Builder in the course of a workday and there is one thing that I can share with you. A friend of mine upgraded to Eclipse 3.4 last night and during a chat he said it seems to be a bit quicker, except on start up. I hear this a lot from CFE users and there is a pretty easy solution to this. Most of the time you start creating different projects and after awhile you can end up with 60 to 80 projects pretty quickly. If you leave all of the projects open shutdown and fire Eclipse up the next morning it needs to load all of these resources. A very easy fix is to close all unrelated projects. I only keep open the projects I am working on and when I am ready to switch it is very easy to close / close unrelated projects.

keeping projects closed (except for the one you're working on) also helps out with the "to do" list. unless there's a way to configure that differently, it will show "to do" items for all open projects.

this is what got me started on closing projects and only keeping the one i'm working on open. allows me to see all of the items that i need to do for the current project.

Good point, The to do list gets more manageable.

To Do list? Old School :-) You'll need to check out Mylyn. It is even included in all 3.4 packages except for Classic.
