eclipse - doing multiple tasks?

[Alex Hunsley]

I've justed started looking at eclipse and it seems very good.
I like the automatically generated tasks like fixing imports. Is it
possible to select a load of these and tell it to do them all, however?
There's a load of imports to be fixed and I don't see the point in
selecting each line and right clicking and hitting "Quick fix" and
selecting "Organise imports" and hitting "OK" for each one...

In general: No, because they cannot necessarily be fixed automatically.
For your specific problem of fixing imports, however, you can select a
whole package/directory in the tree view and select Source->Organize Imports,
and it will process all the classes inside.

Ah thanks for this!
Unfortunately, the organise imports seems to be broken!
There are quite a few files that now look like this:

package [... whatever]

import [...whatever]
import [...whatever]

ng = false;



... and obviously the compiler trips up on the "ng = false;" - eclipse
has removed some chars from the front of this line!
Does anyone know anything about this weird behaviour?

extra info: it only seems to break when I do CTRL+SHIFT+0 on a package,
never when I organise imports on a single file.

I don't see it anywhere. Perhaps you should come up with a definite set
of steps to reproduce it, and report it at www.eclipse.org under the
"bugs" link in the left margin.
