I’m very used to using Visual Studio for C++ and what not, but when I write Java on Eclipse, I’m not quite used to the interface, so I decided to make Eclipse more like Visual Studio.
Color Theme, Whitespace, and Intellisense (Code Completion)
I pretty much followed this guide: http://www.jackyliang.com/jackyresumecoding/2014/4/5/make-eclipse-work-more-like-visual-studio
For the whitespace section, the download link at the above site was broken, so I got the whitespace settings from here instead: http://www.webbiscuit.co.uk/making-eclipse-more-like-visual-studio/
Hotkeys
This guide: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/200499/visual-studios-keybindings-for-eclipse, Chris’s answer (not the chosen answer)
Interface
I solved this by not using the Eclipse Debug Perspective and just moving the debugger windows like I would in Visual Studio. The other windows can be moved around within Eclipse to be more like Visual Studio.
I believe Jacky Liang is a bit miffed, because his site: http://www.jackyliang.com/jackyresumecoding/2014/4/5/make-eclipse-work-more-like-visual-studio just shows a “Thank you from making me uncomfortable” message.
I am trying to set up my Eclipse Mars version into a more Visual Studio like environment and I am having some problems finding a simple step by step set up process.
The link seems to be working now!
