Eclipse Oxygen.2 IDE improvements: Java IDE, Git and C/C++ [VIDEO]

We’re six months away from Eclipse Photon (to be released on June 27, 2018) but this doesn’t mean we’re done with Eclipse Oxygen — not even close!

Holger Voormann prepared a video about the Oxygen.1a IDE Improvements (Java 9, JUnit 5, General, Gradle, and PHP) and now he’s sharing another one about some IDE improvements included in Eclipse Oxygen.2.

Java IDE:

• Fixed: ClassNotFoundException with a JAR in another project and with Java 9 (bug 525844)
• Fixed: Exporting runnable JAR (bug 525711)
• Fixed: Running Ant in a non-Java project in a separate JRE (bug 522581)
• Fixed: In module-info requiring a not by default resolved Java 9 module(bug 526054)
• Drag and drop of entries between modulepath and classpath (bug 522593)

Git (see also EGit 4.9):

• Git Staging view: add/remove all/selected buttons
• Git Staging view: right-click menu with ‘Assume Unchanged’ and ‘Untrack’
• Repository switcher in the Git Staging, Git Reflog, Interactive Rebase and History views
• Redesigned icons: disable filtering, add/clone/create a repository

C/C++ (see also CDT 9.4):

• Docker Container Launch Support
• Suppress problem comments
• ‘decltype’ improvement: showing and navigating to the declaration
• Code formatter as a command line application
