Slide 1Welcome	Welcome to the tutorial on Programming Features of Eclipse.
Slide 2Learning Objectives	In this tutorial, we will learn about the user- friendly programming features of Eclipse
Slide 3Tools Used	For this tutorial we are usingUbuntu 11.0, JDK 1.6, and Eclipse 3.7.0
Slide 4Pre-requisites	To follow this tutorial, you must have Eclipse must be installed in your system, and You must know how to write a simple java program in Eclipse. If not, for relevant tutorial please visit our website as shown.
Slide 5Programming Features Used in Eclipse IDE	Eclipse IDE supports many user friendly features such as Auto completion, Syntax highlighting, Error dialog box, and Shortcut keys. We will look into each of these features in detail.
Switch to Eclipse IDE Interface(Auto completion)public class Features{ public static void main(string args[]) { {}}	I have created a class named Features and added the main method. we will first look at the Auto completion feature in Eclipse.
Highlight main method Type { Hit Enter *we could see that the highlighted part automatically gets invoked.	Inside the main method type an opening brace and hitEnter. We can see that it automatically sets the corresponding closing brace and also positions the cursor with indentation.
Type ( inside the braces	It also completes every feature that works in pairs. For example parentheses. type open parentheses We can see that we only have to type the open parenthesis and eclipse automatically adds the closing parenthesis.
Type )	Also note that if we are accustomed to type the closing parenthesis also, then it takes care of it by not adding the extra closing parenthesis. I’m now typing the closing parenthesis and note that only the cursor moves to the right and the extra parenthesis is not added.
Type “ inside the parentheses	It works in similar fashion with double quotes also. Type opening quotes and it automatically closes the quotes. If we are accustomed to type the closing quotes also, it takes care of it by not adding the extra quote. I am note typing the quotes and notice that the cursor moves to the right with the extre quotes is not added
	Auto-completion is a very versatile feature and helps a lot in maintaining the structure of the code and also prevents typing errors like missing closing braces, missing closing parentheses and missing closing quotes.
Remove everything in the main function and type System.out.println(); public class Features{ public static void main(string args[]) { System.out.print("hello");} }	The next programming feature we will look at is suggestion'.Remove all that we just typed.. We will type the output statement to print the word “hello”. System dot.
Point to the drop down list.** We can see the drop down list in the eclipse after the System.	Notice that Eclipse displays a drop-down list. The list contain suggestions like err, in,out,console all sought of possible completion
Select out and hit Enter. Type dot	Scroll down to out and press Enter.Again, type a dot.
Point to the drop down list.	Now Eclipse will provide suggestions from the out module.
Select println() and press Enter.	Scroll down to println() and press Enter.Now inside the paranthesis in quotes typeHello
Eclipse IDE	next features we will looking at is the Syntax highlighting feature .
Highlight class name Highlight method	Note that the keyword public class, public static void are all in different color Also note that the word Hello is in blue color indicating that this is the string. This Syntax highlighting feature helps us to differentiate between keywords and different parts of the code
Eclipse IDEpublic class HelloWorld {public static void main(String args[]) { X System.out.println("Hello World")}}Remove the ;	Eclipse also helps the programmer to find out the errors.
Point to the red cross.	In a program, an Error is denoted by a red cross symbol on the left margin.
Hover the mouse over the red cross symbol.	in this program we can see their is an error and mouse hover on the error
Point to the errors and solution.	We can see that the error says; semi-colon missing and the solution to resolve the error is also shown.
Run it. Point to the Error Dialog Box	If we proceed to the run without fixing the error right click select run as java application We have Error Dialog Box. indicating that their is an error asking should we proceed or not
Click Proceed Add semicolon at the end of print statement.	For now let us proceed. We notice that their is output indicating that their is an error and when we go to problem console all the problem with possible solution are listed So Let us resolve the error by adding a semi-colon. Ctrl S to save
Keep the Eclipse IDE Window open.	The next programmer friendly feature of eclipse is the shortcut-keys.
	The common shortcut-keys in any program are Ctrl+S for saving and Ctrl+O for opening. Eclipse has shortcut keys for many such commonly used functions.
Eclipse IDE Press Ctrl+F11 Point to the output screen	Control F11. is the shortcut for running the code. Let us try it now.Hold Ctrl and press F11 and we see that the code is run and the output Hello has been printed
Click Run and point to Debug	The shortcut keys for other options can be found by looking at the menu. Click Run Notice that on the right end of the option, their is the shortcut is given. So the shortcut key for Debug is F11
	This is just a small but most commonly used list of the programming features of Eclipse. We shall look at more, in subsequent tutorials.
Slide 6Summary	this brings us to the end of this tutorial. In this tutorial, we learnt how to use programming features of Eclipse such as Auto completion, Syntax highlighting, Error dialog box, and Shortcut keys, effectively.
Slide 7 Assignment	As an Assignment for this tutorial Write a simple Java program with a class that prints “Hello” In the process Apply all the programming features of Eclipse. observe its functions
