Using Eclipse on Small Screens
Two awesome plugins for those of us using Eclipse on screens with low resolutions:
- Eclipse Visual Studio Presentation – changes the presentation of Eclipse to require rather less height and width and a lot more besides
- Eclipse FullScreen Plugin – adds a context menu and keyboard shortcut (CTRL-ALT-Z) to full-screen Eclipse (covering any menu/taskbars).
Also to consider:
- Is your editor font too big? Can you make it smaller and still be comfortable working with it?
- Look at your window layout – do you have a view docked to the right of the editor – probably Outline? Do you really ever use outline? Get rid of it if not, or make it a tab in the dock on the left.
