An EclipseSW bookmark allows you to quickly go to a particular line of code in a particular file. If you find that there is a particular piece of code that you need to keep returning to, a bookmark is a great way of creating a shortcut to that code.

To create a bookmark, I can right-click in the gray border on the left side of my editor and go to 'Add Bookmark...'

Add Bookmark

The Add Bookmark window pops up with the name of the Bookmark set by default to the text of the line where I right-clicked. Although I can change it, I'll let it be this default value, and I'll click OK to save the bookmark.
