[Quicktip] CVS-Changelog plugin for eclipse

As you know CVS is file-based and therefore it has many issues.

For example: In Eclipse (using the standard CVS-plugin) you can only see changes of the currently selected file in the history view. When you select the project, you see no history entries in the project like you are used to using SVN. I know, you can call "cvs log" to see all changes of all file, but that is not very comfortable.

A solution: Install the changelog plugin (http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/changelog/) and working with CVS is now easier… Internally it will call  "cvs log" and present the processed results in a clear table view manner. (See the screenshot at the project page and you will see what i mean.)

More shortcuts/quickfixes for eclipse

After a short detour to Idea Intellj, i am back to eclipse now and there is still potential to learn new features/shortcuts for improved productivity.

Here a few i was not aware of:

• Ctrl-3: quick access – all commands, filterable
• Ctrl-E: to list open files, there you can close the currently selected file by pressing del
• Alt-Shift-W: Show current file in view xyz
• F12: go to editor pane
• Shift-Enter: Create a new line below – no longer Shift-End, Enter
• Ctrl-Q: go to the last edit location
• Ctrl-T: Quick type hierarchy
• Sharing plugins in external folder – how to manage it properly.
• Pick out part of a string via Quickfix
