I know I can generate setters and getters for fields in the Eclipse source menu, but I'm very surprised it doesn't offer to replace the direct field accessors with calls to the newly created methods. Does anyone know how to do this short of manual search and replace? Thanks! There is a way. Focus on the attribute, right click. Select "Refactor" -> "Encapsulate Field". (Edited to explain why it works, even though the menu's title doesn't imply it) The "Encapsulate Field" dialog-box will create getters/setters for you if they don't exist, and will change field-access to go through the getters

I am writing an Eclipse plug-in that uses JDT AST's ASTParser to parse a method. I am looking within that method for the creation of a particular type of object. When I find a ClassInstanceCreation , I call getType() on it to see what type is being instantiated. I want to be sure that the fully-resolved type being dealt with there is the one I think it is, so I tell the resultant Type object to resolveBinding() . I get null back even though there are no compilation errors and even though I called setResolveBindings(true) on my ASTParser . I gave my ASTParser (via setSource() ) the

Is it possible to quick fix all errors in a class opened in Eclipse? I have 71 errors that are pretty much the same, I would rather not do it one-by-one. (Note: I am quick fixing a Java file) Often, you can fix errors en masse. There are several ways. I recommend going to your Problems view, selecting one of the errors, and hitting Ctrl-1 (quick fix). It should offer you the chance to fix all the errors of the selected type, in all files. You can also mouse over the error in the text editor and wait for a popup; it should say "fix 70 other errors of this type". Doing it this way applies only

How can I load a .java file into a CompilationUnit? For example, lets say I have a A.java file in my current project. I would like to load it into a CompilationUnit and then pass it to the ASTParser. It is not an option just to load it as a plain text since it seems that in that case I will not get the binding information in the AST. You can load the projects using jdt and eclipse core libraries. Using the following code you can load all the projects in the workspace. IWorkspace workspace = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace(); IWorkspaceRoot root = workspace.getRoot(); // Get all projects in the

I have the eclipse CDT installed, and I would like to install Java development functionality (JDT) on top of my CDT installation. I've been Googling from an hour but I can't figure out how to do this. What plugin do I need to install? What update site do I need to use? John Paulett All versions of Eclipse have a standard base, then a specific set of plugins, depending on the version. All you have to do is go to the Help > Install New Software menu, select the Eclipse update site (e.g. "Galileo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo "), and under the Programming Languages section,
