(Note from President of JavaMUG: This was a last minute stand-in. Our planned speaker cancelled with very little notice. Thanks to Genuitec for stepping in.)

What should a Java developer expect from a contemporary IDE? Learn the top couple dozen or so productivity boosters that every serious IDE tries to feature, and what to reasonably expect from your IDE vendor. This demonstration of a commercial Eclipse IDE attempts to be as agnostic as possible by focusing on the use cases. Know how to put your IDE through the paces, how to use the wizards to maximum benefit, and which productivity features are "must have" features for the productive corporate developer. There are many excellent choices of IDEs, ranging from free to thousands of dollars – learn how to get the best of whatever choice you make.
