Build Identifier: M20110909-1335 I have noticed a problem with rebinding the Ctrl+J shortcut on windows using different PCs and different versions of Eclipse 3.7. By default Ctrl+J is bound to incremental find. If you unbind this key, pressing ctrl+j inserts a line feed. If you try and rebind the key to another action sometimes it rebinds properly and sometimes it does not. What seems to happen after a certain period of time is the binding goes back to inserting line feeds. If you restore defaults on keybindings Ctrl+J properply binds to incremental find. This is quite frustrating as I like to have Ctrl+J bound to "run j-unit test". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1 Unbind Ctrl+J 2 Rebind Ctrl+J 3 Press Ctrl+J in text editor 4 Observe line feed inserted Or 1Unbind Ctrl+J 2 Press Ctrl+J in text editor 3 Observe line feed inserted

Under Windows most native editors do a line feed on Ctrl+J. > 1 Unbind Ctrl+J > 2 Rebind Ctrl+J > 3 Press Ctrl+J in text editor > 4 Observe line feed inserted This is not what I see. If I rebind again to 'Incremental Find' or 'Open Type', it works as expected. Having said that, I know what problem you run into. It's not specific to Ctrl+J but to the 'Run JUnit Test' command. This is captured by bug 218881. Possible workaround: have the Debug views open in your workbench. This will ensure that Debug gets loaded and hence your shortcut will work. I know it's not perfect, but it works. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 218881 ***
