This question would probably apply equally as well to other languages with C-like multi-line comments. Here's the problem I'm encountering. I'm working with Java code in Eclipse, and I wanted to comment out a block of code. However, there is a string that contains the character sequence "*/", and Eclipse thinks that the comment should en...
I'm working on mac OS x 10.4. I have a subversion repository stored on an external drive connected via USB. I created a new python project in Eclipse (using the PyDev plugin). When I use right click Team->Share Project to set up a new prject with subversion, I get the following error: Error while creating module: org.tigris.subversion.j...
What did I do wrong? Here is an excerpt from my code: public void createPartControl(Composite parent) { parent.setLayout(new FillLayout()); ScrolledComposite scrollBox = new ScrolledComposite(parent, SWT.V_SCROLL); scrollBox.setExpandHorizontal(true); mParent = new Composite(scrollBox, SWT.NONE); scrollBox.setContent(mParent)...
Let's say I have committed some bad changes to Subversion repository. Then I commit good changes, that I want to keep. What would be easiest way to roll back those bad changes in Eclipse, and keep the good changes? Assuming that files relating to bad changes are not same as those relating to the good changes. How things change if good c...
I have a question on the best way of exposing an asynchronous remote interface. The conditions are as follows: The protocol is asynchronous A third party can modify the data at any time The command round-trip can be significant The model should be well suited for UI interaction The protocol supports queries over certain objects, and s...
When I let Eclipse create a new file (.c or .h file) in a C project the editor always auto creates a #define at the top of the file like this: If the file is named 'myCFile.c' there will be a #define at the start of the file like this #ifndef MYCFILE_C_ #define MYCFILE_C_ I have seen other editors do this as well (Codewright and Slik...
I'm writing a plugin that will parse a bunch of files in a project. But for the moment I'm stuck searching through the Eclipse API for answers. The plugin works like this: Whenever I open a source file I let the plugin parse the source's corresponding build file (this could be further developed with caching the parse result). Getting th...
I'm developing an Eclipse plug-in, based on a bunch of core Eclipse plug-ins like SWT, JDT, GEF and others. I need my plug-in to be compatible with Eclipse 3.3, since many potential customers are still using it. However, personally I like the new features in Eclipse 3.4 and would like to use it for my development. This means I need PDE...
When I do a file search on eclipse it includes the .svn directories by default. I tried excluding them from the build path but they still appear on file search results. ...
I use Eclipse, Maven, and Java in my development. I use Maven to download dependencies (jar files and javadoc when available) and Maven's eclipse plug-in to generate the .project and .classpath files for Eclipse. When the dependency downloaded does not have attached javadoc I manually add a link for the javadoc in the .classpath file so ...
What actually happens to the file system when you do a Subclipse Share Project on an Eclipse project that was externally checked out from Subversion? All the .svn folders are already in place. I get an error when I try to Share Project the right way, and I'd rather not delete and re-checkout the projects from the SVN Repository browse...
I'm using Eclipse 3.4 and have configured the Java code formatter with all of the options on the Comments tab enabled. The problem is that when I format a document comment that contains: * @see <a href="test.html">test</a> the code formatter inserts a space in the closing HTML, breaking it: * @see <a href="test.html">test< /a> Why?...
I'm writing a wizard for an Eclipse RCP application. After doing some processing on a file and taking some user input, I don't want to let the user go back to make changes. At this point they must either accept or reject the changes they are about to make to the system. What I can't seem to find is a method call that lets me override ...
There seem to be two rival Eclipse plugins for integrating with Maven: m2Eclipse and q4e. Has anyone recently evaluated or used these plugins? Why would I choose one or the other? ...
I was looking out for a free plugin for developing/debugging JSP pages in eclipse. Any suggestions? ...
I'm using Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) with CDT 5 on Windows. When the integrated spell checker doesn't know some word, it proposes (among others) the option to add the word to a user dictionary. If the user dictionary doesn't exist yet, the spell checker offers then to help configuring it and shows the "General/Editors/Text Editors/Spelling...

Hi, I am working on designing and building a desktop application. I am thinking about using eclipse or netbeans for the base of this application. However, I have never built on either of these platforms. I am personally leaning to using netbeans because it seams like that platform is an easer learning curve. But, I wanted to ask peo...
Are there eclipse plugins that you can recommend for generating diagrams (UML, sequence) from Java code? ...
I have a bunch of servlets running under the Tomcat servlet container. I would like to separate test code from production code, so I considered using a test framework. JUnit is nicely integrated into Eclipse, but I failed to make it run servlets using a running Tomcat server. Could you please recommend a unit testing framework that suppo...
