JDeveloper and Eclipse shortcuts compared
Eclipse is very popular IDE for java community and it also supports other languages such as PHP, C and C++. I use Eclipse for my development for many years, and I just love it so much. I will always ponder if Eclipse could do the same for me anytime I need to work on different projects. Even recently on a project which must use Oracle ADF framework, but it turns out this time I have to use JDeveloper to develop the project. Well, what I really expect from JDeveloper is what I can get from Eclipse. So here is the list of shortcuts that I always want to have no matter if I am using Eclipse, Netbeans and JDeveloper.

1. | Code Formatting | Ctrl + Alt + L | Ctrl + Shift + F |
