I am used to code in VisualStudio with Resharper. And I code fast with Resharper’s auto-completion functionality. When I moved to Java and Eclipse I found out that Eclipse doesn’t need a tool like Resharper, because Resharper was made so that VS could have funcionalities like Eclipse. After that I printed the list of Eclipse shortcuts and started coding.
But, it’s been a month or so now and I code soooo slowly. I tried setting Eclipse intellisense (Content Assist) to open faster, but it didn’t help. And the code completion is sooo slow too. For example, in VS I just select the method and resharper puts the closing bracket + semi-colon. Then, Eclipse has one shortcut for intellisense and the other for variable completion (alt+/), wtf.
What should I set in Eclipse so that I code as fast as in VS? Why Resharper+VS make me code faster that Eclipse? Am I missing some add-on or some settings?
PS. I did not intent to discredit Eclipse nor to start advocacy topic. I like Eclipse. I work in it 12h/day and I would like it to prove it’s faster that VS.
Please help!
Take a look at JetBrains IntelliJ. It mimics a lot of resharper stuff as they are made by the same company.
