New to Eclipse. It seems to be a whole lot of features, but missing the basics. I just want to move a workspace between machines without loosing all the linked files…

couple of shortcuts we use frequently

CMD + D – delete the selected lines
ALT + Down Arrow – move selected lines down
ALT + Up Arrow – move selected lines up

I got a few old ones listed here too

If you like working sets, you really need to check out Mylyn – think of it as automatic generation of working sets based on tasks (pulled from Trac, local store or other compatible bug tracker)

A couple of tips that might be obvious to most, but that took a long time for me to discover:

Go into:
Right-click on a folder in Navigator, choose “go into” and that folder becomes root. Nice if you have deep hierarchies.

Run as menu:
On the icon bar, next to run, debug etc., there is an icon – white arrowhead on green circle and an red tool box. It’s a list of all the recent “run as” commands. I use Ant to move files onto server, and these show up as project + scrip name.
