0:20 "java20 support is _now_ built in" what does that even mean? shouldnt it be indifferent to which version of jdk is added & just work? what exactly is added to support java20 which was missing earlier? i have not used eclipse & wanted to see why to use eclipse in 2023, thats why i came here.
A Java IDE needs to read .class files whose format changes with each new Java version and the Java editor needs to support new language features (including preview features). Eclipse also has its own incremental compiler, which must be able to generate Java 20 bytecode.
I'm new to Java and trying to learn. My interface looks nothing like that. I downloaded Java IDE 2023-06 yesterday. If I try to create a new Java project it says create a Java EE Ear Project. Also when I go to file new I do not have a nice clean menu like you do the first five on yours say Java Project, Maven Project, Project, Package, Class. Mine say Maven project, Enterprise Application, Dynamic Web Project, EJB Project and Project Connector. With the interface you have I understand it better because everything looks clean and organized vs mine where nothing is the same even though it is still the same eclipse software that you are using. It's really frustrating trying to learn Java if my interface doesn't match any tutorials. Anything you can suggest to help me fix this?
You have the "Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers" with the "Java EE" perspective activated, while the video shows the simpler "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" in the "Java" perspective. Switch to the "Java" perspective via "Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Java" and it should become very similar to the video.
When will I be able to use Dark mode by default on Eclipse? I'm trying various methods such as plugins, but I can't use it like VSCode, so it's frustrating.
In general, a light theme is preferable for ergonomic reasons. The human eye needs light to work best. Only in a dark environment a dark theme is better. Hit Ctrl+3 and type "dark" or "light" to go to the preferences where you can switch the theme.
@@한우섭-i6r In a light environment/room, use a light theme, otherwise a dark one. Use either light or dark themes system-wide, as your eyes need to adapt when switching. Independent of that, avoid long screen times.
Huge thanks for this video!!! ... A nice set of improvements!
Great as usual! :)
3:11 "ctrl-hover: show call hierarchy"
hmm, thats nice (: i always get lost when trying to find this in sea of options in context menu of vscodium.
4:12 oh no, so many options. does eclipse put the text based config file upfront?

@@howlger Aha. So if you have lights on your mobile or web browser, does using dark mode have more problems with your eyesight?
