    3 Reasons I’m Switching from Eclipse to VSCode as a Java Developer

    I have been writing Java code for 22 years, mostly server-side web applications. I started using Eclipse as my primary IDE in 2003, 18 years ago. Since then I’ve used Eclipse, or MyEclipse, if not daily then at least several times a week. And I like it as an IDE. I’ve evangelized it to others, […]

  • Eclipse Auto Complete Templates for ATG

    Eclipse has an often under-utilized feature called Templates.

When I tried switching to JavaHL instead of SVNKit, I got different errors, so that was out. Adding this line to my […]

  • Eclipse StartOnFirstThread Error (and fix!)

    This appears to be an issue with the JVM under Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5), but I started getting the following error within Eclipse when using the ResourceBundleEditor plugin: It also apparently happens with other plugins/apps and is an issue with the AWT kit in the new JVM. After pouring through all of my Eclipse […]
