JSP formatting in eclipse
I have a few hundred lines of JSP code with java snippets. When I used eclipse to format this code. Its just unreadable and not even able to figure out what is in there in the java snippets. I tried different options like changing the code style formatter, but nothing worked. Then I tried netbeans to auto-format my JSP code and it did much better job compared to eclipse. Hope eclipse will come up with better formatting in the next version. Till then I will keep my netbeans running on my machine when I am doing coding on my eclipse.

Path Manager Makes the Run Dialog and Command Prompt More Useful
Windows: Editing your PATH variable is one of those things that you rarely need to do. However, one of the ways it can be useful is to add more app shortcuts to your run dialog. The PATH variable, in short, is a bucket of locations that the run dialog looks at to find app commands. When you type the name of an app (say "calc") in the run dialog (Win+R), it searches all of the folders included in the PATH variable. Path Manager allows you to add locations to this variable, so you can run more applications with this shortcut. Path Manager can also edit many other system variables. As always, you should be careful playing with system settings unless you know what you're doing. You probably won't need this tool very often, but it's handy to have in your back pocket.

Type History to Review Your Recent Terminal Commands
Sometimes you need to enter a long command again, or find something you typed long in the past. Sure, you can press the up and down arrows to navigate a fair amount of your history but that isn't practical when you have to search for something awhile back. Instead, just type history. When you do, your terminal window will display a list of recent commands. From there you can find the one you're looking for. If you know it was within a certain range, you can specify how far back in your history you want to go (e.g. "history 25").
