Questions from Teacher looking at Eclipse

[Sparky9292]

I teach a few students Java programming with Eclipse.

Questions:

1. Is there a way to change the default run configuration applet size? By default, it's 200 by 200 pixels. It's annoying to have to change that for each project.
2. Is there a way to automatically include an external jar into every new Eclipse project? Having to click EXTERNAL JAR when creating a new project is annoying.

Just curious: Why are you having them create applets rather than applications?

Good question. Every student posting here learning swing seems to be making applets. There are also some posting here claiming that Applets are "easier for graphics than normal Swing programs". A lot of people are getting misinformed.
