No, Gregg, there's no reference. That's a great thought! I wonder if I can't put together a reference. I think I should put together a mailing list and a web page and with the help of folks like you perhaps we can put together some additional information that would help make the book that much more useful.
At the same time, I'm positive that the Java Developer's Guide to Eclipse probably has as comprehensive a reference as you would like. The question is whether a shorter index - a sort of "commonly used functions" - is needed.
I'd be very interested to hear thoughts about this from anybody who has read the book, as well as from people who have used Eclipse and have ideas on what would make it easier to use.
There are also tentative plans for a follow-on book, so feel free to add any thoughts as to good topics for such a project.

Let me know what you come up with and if I can be of any help, just let me know. Thanks Joe.

Of course, for JAVA Development, it doesn't get much better for FREE.

Netbeans is also good, the only problem is loading time is very slow.
suppose if i want to open a pre existing java file is there any way i can open like file-> open ( just opens the file)instead of file ->import or copy the files to project. In scenarios like these i prefer Textpad.

Alright, I'm going to get a mailing list ready and a webpage. Since the fine folks at JavaRanch are kind enough to be doing this promotion, I won't put those into place until next week; until then, we'll keep all the discussion here. But look for more information next week.
