And, in eclipse, how can I set up simple macros.  For example, I want a keystroke to add the code System.out.println(); and have my cursor end up between the parenthesis 6:57:53 PM    comment []

Also in eclipse, how do I run a java program with command line arguments? Easy.  Click the little dropdown arrow next to the icon of the little man running.  Select Run... and it will bring you to a tabbed dialog where if you go to the arguments tab (would you like to buy an argument??) you can enter the arguments like you would on the command line. 6:56:05 PM    comment []

I wonder if Eclipse can append to the program output that appears in the console instead of clearing the console each time I run a program?  I can see previous outputs from a dropdown list on the console title bar, but what if I want to see the various results all piled on top of one another in the same window? 4:20:48 PM    comment []

I rode my bike to work and as I approached downtown St. Paul I was thinking, "that's funny, whenever I ride my bike, something unexpected happens.  I see a coyote or a fight or get an insight into the structure of the universe.  But today, nothing happened."  Then I looked up and saw a huge pillar of black smoke with fireballs shooting up out of the roof of a power plant near the Science Museum.  Traffic was all backed up and there was ash in the street.  I rubbed my eyes and looked again and it was still there.  It was beautiful.  Here are some reports about it: http://www.kare11.com/news/news-article.asp?NEWS_ID=44908 http://www.kstp.com/article/view/91276/ http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/5587119.htm   3:16:44 PM    comment []
