I want to show you another selection of five keyboard shortcuts in case you are using Eclipse for Java Developers. This mix of shortcuts focuses on opening files and working with source code.

Eclipse for Java developers: Keyboard shortcuts | Part 1
I want to show you a mix of five different keyboard shortcuts when using Eclipse for Java Developers. In case you are not already using these shortcuts try to incorporate them in your work and test which of them help you the most.
Java: Type safe character set
If you are working on strings and want to make sure that they conform to a certain character set and are encoded with a certain encoding scheme you will come across the standard Java class Charset that outlines various character sets that should be available in every implementation of the JVM. Instead of scattering magic strings like “UTF-8” all over your code and catching UnsupportedEncodingException I came up with an enum that encapsulates all this.
Wicket: Internationalization for enums
There are various nice tutorials available on how you would add internationalization to enum values. Some of them seem outdated because using a class called EnumChoiceRenderer – which is packaged with Wicket now – makes it very easy to, e.g., display the translated values of enums with a drop down box.
