 FAQ Are there any special Eclipse UI guidelines?
 ================================================

-
 A wealth of Eclipse UI guidelines exists. Mentioning any in this single FAQ would seem to do no justice to Nick Edgar, Kevin Haaland, Jin Li, and Kimberley Peter. Please refer to their online Eclipse article Eclipse User Interface Guidelines. In their seminal work, they brush on such topics as icon sizes and color palettes, wizards, editors, dialogs, commands, views, perspectives, windows, properties, widgets, navigators, tasks, preferences, outlines, properties, bookmarks, text editors, the flat-look design, accelerators, best practices, and a checklist for developers.
 
 In fact, the 100-page article is a great source of inspiration for any plug-in developer. Study it before you create any Eclipse plug-in with a visual representation to avoid mistakes made by others and to learn from the experts how to design high-quality UI designs.

 FAQ How do I profile my Java program?
 =====================================
 
 Eclipse has built-in support for launching applications and for debugging Java applications but no inherent support for profiling. However, support for profilers can be implemented by using a special launch configuration. Commercial products, such as WebSphere Studio Application Developer, do this by adding profiling support to their set of plug-ins. Much of this work is being standardized and moved down into the open source Eclipse subproject called Hyades.
 
 A couple of individual profiler projects and products are under way. The Eclipse Colorer profiler with elaborate reporting views may be of interest to people who want to experiment with profiling Java code from Eclipse. This profiler can be downloaded under the CPL from SourceForge.

 Fresh install
 -------------
 
 If you prefer not performing an update (for example because some 3rd-party content is not ready for the current release of Eclipse IDE and the update reports conflicts), you can still download a fresh install of the Eclipse IDE and install it in another location on your filesystem, and use it together with the previous version.
 
-To do so, download a new build from the Eclipse download website ([https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/](https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/)) and run the installer or unzip the archive in a new directory. We strongly recommend against installing/unzipping over your existing version of Eclipse IDE as it may corrupt your installation.

 When you start a new version of Eclipse IDE, you can use the same existing workspace folder that you were using with the older version. The workspace will be migrated to a newer version and the Eclipse IDE will reuse all configurations. The workspace is forward compatible, but might not be backward compatible.

 FAQ What Eclipse newsgroups are available?
 ==========================================
 
 As with most technologies, Eclipse started out with a single newsgroup. Now, all major, and some smaller, Eclipse projects have their own newsgroups. Some are more active than others. Some have a very specific scope, and others are more broad in their coverage of discussion topics. The Eclipse newsgroup page has a complete index of the current Eclipse newsgroups and a description of their focus areas.
 
-The most active newsgroup is [news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.platform](news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.platform), with around 1,500 postings per month. Before you post a question to any newsgroup, it makes a lot of sense to search the platform newsgroup for an answer. Chances are that the question has been asked before, and the answer can be found there quickly.

 FAQ What Java refactoring support is available?
 ===============================================
 
 In the Java perspective, a menu called **Refactor** is enabled. It contains all possible refactoring operations currently implemented by the JDT. All operations are listed, even though they may not be applicable to the current selection. When a given element is selected in the Java editor, the context menu will show the refactoring operations that are specifically applicable to the selection. Refer to the **Help > Help Contents >** Java Development User Guide > Refactoring support **for a comprehensive** discussion on what refactoring techniques are available, how to preview a refactoring, and how to undo/redo refactorings.
 
-
-
 It is important to realize the existence of the underlying mechanisms that allow for refactoring. For instance, when a given method is being renamed, all source files that have a reference to the method will have to be visited and their reference to the renamed method changed. The only way to do these kinds of refactorings in a scalable and manageable way is by using an underlying model of the Java source being refactored. Such a model is commonly referred to as a Document Object Model (DOM).
 
-
-
 Frequent refactorings for which you may want to remember the keyboard shortcuts are **rename** with shortcut Alt+Shift+R and **extract method** with shortcut Alt+Shift+M. You can create or change key bindings for all refactorings from the **Workbench > Keys** preference page.

 A JDOM is a Java document object model. DOM is a commonly used term for an object-oriented representation of the structure of a file. A Google definition search turned up this Web definition: _Document Object Model: DOM is a platform- and language-neutral interface, that provides a standard model of how the objects in an XML object are put together, and a standard interface for accessing and manipulating these objects and their interrelationships._
 
--[http://www.google.com/search?q=define:Document+Object+Model](http://www.google.com/search?q=define:Document+Object+Model)
+-[Google search for define:Document Object Model](http://www.google.com/search?q=define:Document+Object+Model)
 
 In the context of JDT, the JDOM represents a hierarchical, in-memory representation of a single Java file (compilation unit). The DOM can be traversed to view the elements that make up that compilation unit, including types, methods, package declarations, import statements, and so on. The main purpose of the JDOM API is manipulating Java code, allowing you to add and delete methods and fields, for example. All this manipulation occurs on the in-memory object model, so it does not affect the Java file on disk until the DOM is saved. However, the DOM allows you to access only the _principal structure_ of the compilation unit, so you cannot easily modify document elements, such as javadoc comments and method bodies.
