Easy way to deal with java package folders?

Is there an easy way to deal with the nested Java package folders on the command line? I'm always cd-ing (with lots of tab autocomplete) through empty folders (except hidden svn files) in bash and vim. 开发者_运维百科Are there any tools to make these less frustrating?

I'm driven towards Eclipse because of this constant issue.

The worst is CDing all the way down to create a class, and then splitting a vim window with a class in other project. Yuck!

You have two choices (IMHO):

• Use a project explorer like The NERD tree: A tree explorer plugin for navigating the filesystem
• Install in Vim a plugin for quick searching like
  • FuzzyFinder: buffer/file/command/tag/etc explorer with fuzzy matching or
  • Command-T: Fast file navigation for VIM

If you are mostly editing files and not creating new ones, it may help to symlink all .java files into a directory called quickedit. Then you can just type vim quickedit/MyClass.java, assuming that your class names are mostly unique.

How about this?

In your .bash_profile (or equivalent) add:

function supercd() { cd $(dirname $(find "$@" -type f | head));}

then use it!

~ $ supercd temp1
~/temp1/temp2/temp3/temp4 $ ls
test.java
~/temp1/temp2/temp3/temp4 $

supercd will take you to the first directory containing a file under the directory you specify.

Undoubtedly buggy, but a good start :)

If you're using just vim you'll face this kind of problems. Remember that every directory will become a finer grained namespace. Namespaces are good! (From the Zen of Python: Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!).

So, I think it's a good choice to start using eclipse. I think that Java is an imposible language without an IDE.

you can try 'tree' on *nix systems

Ctags might help you.

$ ctags -f ~/.tags -R ~/myprojects/src $JAVA_HOME/src

Then tell vim to know where the tag file is. In your .vimrc:

set tags+=~/.tags

Now you can jump to declaration parts by pressing CTRL-] on any identifiers.

pressing CTRL-t to return again to the original position.
