From the newsgroup: eclipse is really a great ide, i use it daily at work. but i still miss some features of vaj: - copy / move methods - copy class , move class only works when xxx.java is seleced not with the "green" class - create field - create method
It would be particularly nifty if this was DND-enabled. That is, I'd like to be able to copy/move a set of methods/fields/types from SRC to DEST. Move would possible trigger an appropriate refactoring wizard. SRC and DEST would be any view that can contain that item, such as: java content outline, type hierarchy, packages view. This could also be used to rearrange methods within the content outline of a single type. Ideally this would be done by exposing java-specific transfer types as API so other tools could integrate with it.

Please do not make this more convoluted than it needs to be. For the create field and method, all that has been asked for is the exact functionality that was already provided by Visual Age for Java 3.5 ( which accounted for all of that and was straightforward to use.)
Shouldn't the "Platform" field say "All" instead of just PC? Shouldn't the "OS" field say "All" instead of just "Windows 2000"?

Adam please take care of cut/copy/paste/delete
implemented cut/copy/paste/delete a. it works under the compilation unit level (paste works also on compilation units) b. the selection for cut/copy/delete can span across many compilation units (even closed ones) c. undo (the editor undo) is supported for the open editors (the editors are not saved) d. copy and cut put the selected elements to both a local clipboard and the OS clipboard (so you can past anywhere - in a text editor too) e. there's some context validation on paste - e.g. you cannot paste a type over a method f. some more smartness is done when pasting over a compilation unit - it tries to put elements in their positions (e.g. a package declaration will go to the top of the file, and a type will go before any existing type declarations) g. it works in the package viewer, outliner and type hierarchy limitations: . not d'n'd enabled (pls see bug#6305 for this) . no shortcuts are available for there operations (pls see bug#6306 for this) . dulicate is not implemented (problems with selecting the newly created elements - pls see bug#6307 for this) marking this bug report as fixed
some verification on e: you _can_ paste a type over a method - it puts the type below the method as a nested type of the type that declares that method same is true for paste type over type (pastes as a nested type) - as for other IMembers (field, type, method, initializer) you cannot, however, for instance, paste a package declaration or an import over a method.
