Shortcut keys make life that little bit quicker! They aid you in working faster and become very handy when programming in Eclipse.
For a full list of shortcuts, in Eclipse 3.1 and above you can press Ctrl+Shift+L for a handy popup.

Ctrl+Shift+R
Find Resource
Use this to look for XML files, text files, or files of any other type. which are in your workspace.
Ctrl+E

Ctrl+Shift+Space
Context Information
If typing a method call with several parameters use this to show the applicable parameter types. The current parameter where the cursor is will be shown in bold.
Ctrl+Shift+O
Organize Imports
After typing a class name use this shortcut to insert an import statement. This works if multiple class names haven't been imported too.

This works like a browser's Back button.
Alt+Right
Forward History
This works like a browser's Forward button
Ctrl+L

Ctrl+H
Open Search Dialog
Opens a search dialog with extensive search options for Java packages, types, methods, and fields.
Alt+Shift+R
Rename - Refactoring
Use this to rename type, method, or field. All existing references will be refactored as well.
Alt+Shift+L
Extract Local Variable
Use this to create a local variable from the selected expression. This is useful for breaking up larger expressions to avoid long lines.
Alt+Shift+M

Use this to extract a new method from existing code. The parameter list and return type will be automatically created.
Alt+Shift+Up
Alt+Shift+Down
Alt+Shift+Left
