Using Find And Replace In Eclipse IDE
Java programmers usually searches for some methods, keywords or even identifiers in the source files, project or in the workspace as a whole. The search capability uses an index of Java code in your workspace that needs to be kept up-to-date, Independent of Java builds, Means you don’t have to select the “Build Automatically” preference or need to save your modifications in order to do a search.

How To Call EJB From Eclipse IDE
Assuming that you know how to create J2EE modules in eclipse IDE and generating EJB code using Xdoclet. To know more click here .
How To Create EJB’s In Eclipse IDE
Here I am assuming that you are aware of creating J2EE Module In Eclipse IDE. To know more click here. So Suppose you have an EJB Module created in IDE, Then for example we will create a stateless session bean by following these steps.
Creating J2EE Modules For Enterprise Application
Using Lomboz we can create Enterprise Application modules. Here we will see how we can add J2EE, Web modules to an Enterprise Application so that J2EE development can be done in a quicker and easier way.
Although a programmer can create Web and J2EE modules separately and later add them to EAR file, But the recommended approach is to create those modules while creating Enterprise Application, So that they will be packaged instantly to your EAR project.
Exporting/Importing JAR files
With mobile broadband technology readily available to anyone willing to connect to the world wide web, it shouldn’t come as a surprise when interest for basic programming skyrockets. Java is one of the programming languages that caught fire because of this, so let’s try to learn more about it.
JAR (Java archive) files are commonly being used by Java developers. JAR file is a deployable package comprising of number of class files and other resources. One benefit is that JAR file uses compression algorithms to reduce the overall size.
Now suppose we have a Java project in Eclipse called Resources. It comprices of 2 classes Student and Teacher.
Development Of Enterprise Applications in Eclipse IDE
Lomboz is a reliable plugin for J2EE development. It can be downloaded from http://lomboz.objectweb.org/downloads/drops/S-3.1M6-200505030842/.
Developing Enterprise Applications in Eclipse is quite simple with the help of lomboz. Here let me describe five simple steps to create an Enterprise Application Project using Eclipse IDE.
Configuring Xdoclet for J2ee Applications in Eclipse
For J2EE applications, We can configure Xdoclet in Eclipse so that development can be made faster. Xdoclet can be downloaded from
http://www.xdoclet.sourceforge.net/xdoclet/install.html
Extract Xdoclet files to the local drive.
