One thing I immediately needed when using GIT/EGit instead of Subversion/Subversive in Eclipse, was the possibility to quickly revert the changes I made to a file. The good news is that with EGit it goes just as fast…
Revert changes:
Replace with file from Git index
There are quite often situations, when you’d need to add or substract a time period to a date when you are accessing the database via Java Persistence API(JPA). Now

<title>Hoisting example</title>

<body>
<h1>Hoisting in action</h1>
<script type="application/javascript">
var hoisting = "global variable";
alert("global 'hoisting' var => " + hoisting);
(function(){
alert("local 'hoisting' var (BEFORE declaration WILL NOT PICK its global 'shadow' -> undefined !) => " + hoisting);
var hoisting = "local variable";
alert("local 'hoisting' var (AFTER declaration WILL HIDE its global 'shadow' -> assigned value !) => " + hoisting);
// block
{
var hoisting = "block variable";
alert("block 'hoisting' var (AFTER declaration WILL OVERRIDE its local 'shadow' -> assigned value !) => " + hoisting);
}
// after block
alert("local 'hoisting' var REPLACED AFTER BLOCK with its block 'shadow' => " + hoisting);
// THE moral
alert("The Hoisting MORAL: ALL local variables (even from blocks) are pre-defined/hoisted by JavaScript Runtime in front of the method body !\nDYI to make it clear !");
})(); //self-executing function
</script>

Thank you Dev{eloper} Stonez (@devstonez) for the tip.
This is a very quick and useful way to find out where a class or method is used throughout the workspace/project. How to do it – select class/method > right click > References > Workspace (Ctrl+Shift+G) || Project
Once you’ve done that, the results will be displayed in the Search view:
Show references
Another alternative for that is by selecting the class/method > start Java Search (Ctrl+H) > select your search criteria (in this case Type) and limit to References:
Show References via Java Search
