Using hotkeys in Eclipse significant improves developers' performance. This article is a short tutorial about main Eclipse functions and their hotkeys. This can help beginners to become experienced Eclipse user faster.

When a developers team is starting a project, they are choosing tools, IDE, source control system and the way they are going to stay in touch. We chose Eclipse IDE for development and Subversion (SVN) for code sharing. This is popular combination because it is useful for Java development and specially for GWT.

Successful project code compilation requests GWT libraries, but different developers project sources and GWT libraries is placed in different places on file system. We suggest solution for common project workspace for all developers based on Eclipse environment variables. Testing was done on Eclipse 3.2 and 3.3.
