Sick of java.awt type ahead suggestions in Eclipse?
Then you need this little handy tip. There are many classes with identical or similar names in the java.awt and the SWT widget libraries. Having to distinguish between the package names in the type ahead dropdown is a pain and lead to wrongful imports so do yourself this favor:
- Open Eclipse
- Select Window/Preferences from the menu
- Expand Java/Appearance/Type Filters from the menu on the left
- Click the "Add package" button, enter "java.awt" (without the quotes) and click OK
- OK your way out
And while you're there you might want to add lotus.domino.cso, lotus.domino.local and lotus.notes to the list as well as all Domino programming is done through the lotus.domino package.
Dragons...
Normally I wouldn't post stuff like this on this blog but I'm so excited that I have to do just that. I have been a long time fan of the Dragonlance novels and now that an animated feature of the first novel is in the works I'm just plain excited. The first movie will be Dragons of Autumn Twilight and will be released directly to DVD. See here for more info on the movie.
