One thing that runs me buggy is troubleshoot where the elusive bracket is missing. It would be nice, if not mondo cool, if I place my cursor next to a bracket, the IDE would show me where it’s matching bracket is. If the matching bracket is off the page, popup a window showing where it is, including line number, and the line of code it is completing. ( like if statement)

Thank you…

Jeff,

Are you speaking of ‘{‘ or ‘<‘ brackets? Which editor?

Hi Scott,

‘{‘ in the Java editor. Sorry I was not clear.

Jeff,

If you place the cursor just to the right of the opening brace and double-click, all the code until the closing brace is highlighted. I think this is what you’re after.

That’s cool.

But what I’m after is if the closing or opening bracket is off the screen, a pop-up will appear and show the matching bracket and the line of code that owns it. I will not have to scroll to see it then.

Jeff,

That’s an enhancement request for the Eclipse team: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi 🙂
