@plevintampabay: Great post! Helped get me up and running with Eclipse in no time.

Finally, to the person wondering why use Eclipse, if you don't know, it is because you don't yet know enough to know you need it. =) And inner classes are great when used where they are indicated/required, but are not a substitute for proper OO design and coding. Just wait till 2 years from now you need to go back and modify your 1500+ line file with multiple sub-classes. Good luck with that! We'd never have a file that big in our shop, and we've written a couple 80,000+ line avionics projects! Knocking Eclipse because it requires a setup is like saying an abacus is better than a computer because you don't have to turn it on!
