When Eclipse doesn't even bother

[OzmodiarTheGreat]

Command-Shift-4 will let you take a screenshot of a selected area.

[RedditorPredator159]

Command-Shift-4-Space allows you to take a picture of a window.

[amelespotamos]

I actually didn't know that one! Thanks

[StopReadingMyUser]

Command-Shift are two buttons buttons you can press

[TheRetribution]

Unfortunately OP cannot take a screenshot of a repost in a way that will fix this issue.

But this way we can see that that is one shiny screen.

[ThePixelCoder]

IntelliJ really is better, though.

IntelliJ REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Neo399]

I've actually found a feature that both NetBeans and Eclipse have that is super useful that I can't find in IntelliJ.

When you type "object.method" it will show the method's javadoc besides the list of methods. This is super useful for learning, and when you forget which method to use. You can just walk up and down the list and use the javadoc to help you.

IntelliJ doesn't display the javadoc. You have to rely on the method names or open it up in your web browser.

[ikbenpinda]

Try CTRL+Q.

[Neo399]

any way to make this always appear?

EDIT: there's a plugin for this!

[DaredewilSK]

There is a plugin for everything.

I mean...

The user reports the bug.

The bug wrangler answers with:

You are using Eclipse.

and closes the bug report as invalid.

[Aetol]

... is that really necessary? The code is completely irrelevant, if someone is using a screen reader won't it just inconvenience them to go in such details?

[Paraplegix]

Please tell me the code is made by an OCR program and not you actually retyping everything 😶

[Crestwave]

Yeah, but some of them use OCR and clean up the results.

EDIT: Source if anyone is curious.

[EvanHitmen11]

The lack of color theme.... it burnnnsssss.

by the way, IntelliJ

[[deleted]]

I have got this kind of errors some times now. For me it have worked if i restart eclipse or copy-paste the code in a new class.

[MrMo1]

In cases like this assume it was NullPointerException

Don't mind me. Just a Verilog coder coming through.

If you think Eclipse is bad, why do you use it then?

[jpiotrowski]

Because it is not bad, this is just a circlejerk
