Explanation: Say package A is always built first and then package B. I need to configure my eclipse workspace such that it mimics the build environment and shows compilation errors when sources in package A refer package B. Is this possible? If yes, how? ...
A little background: PEP 8 is the Style Guide for Python Code. It contains the conventions all python programmers should follow. pep8.py is a (very useful) script that checks the code formating of a given python script, according to PEP 8. Eclipse is a great IDE. With the Pydev extension, it that can be used to develop Python I run p...
Hello, I´m trying to make a regular expression to match a whitespace and so far I´m doing this: Powered[\s]*[bB]y.*MyBB I know it should work because I've tried it with Regex Buddy and it says it does but when I try to run it with Eclipse it marks an error saying it's not a valid escape sequence and it automatically adds 2 ´\´ renderi...
Hi, new to Java. I want to use the org.apache.commons.lang.WordUtils package. Tried importing it. Tried downloading it and adding it to my build path. When I use intellisense for the word WordUtils Eclipse auto puts the import statement at the top of the file. I get the following error when compiling: ConvertToUrl.java:3: package org....
Wouldn't it be nice to just do a keystroke and have eclipse organize all imports in all java classes instead of just the one you are looking at? Is this possible? Is there a keystroke for it? ...
A common scenario when using source control is to have a development branch along with versioned release branches. We use CVS, with HEAD as the development branch, and a branch named e.g. release-6-2 for the current release of a product. Development of new features go into the development branch only, but bug fixes sometimes have to be ...
Anyone know of a way to guarantee plugin startup order? I have a plugin that I want to develop that will provide runtime configuration information to a 3rd-party plugin that I can't modify. So, I want to make sure my plugin always runs to completion before the 3rd-party. Anyone? Eclipse 3.3, BTW. ...
By default eclipse indents with a hard tab character, how do I change it to spaces? ...
I was trying to check out a project from SVN using Eclipse. I tried using "Checkout As" to make it into a "Java project from existing Ant script", but the project wizard requires the file to have already been downloaded. Is there a way to checkout the project into Eclipse as a Java project, without having to download it elsewhere first? ...
This San Mateo development company makes a freely downloadable convenient packaging of many plugins for Eclipse called Aptana. I was recently in an environment where Aptana came pre-installed. Not only is it a good IDE for RoR, it also does a somewhat decent job (sans debugging) for PHP, Python, HTML, CSS, and Javascript. According to th...
In eclipse, when I want to document a function (in java or javascript source) I can just type /**, then hit enter, and I get a comment like this /** * * Fluctuates all variables to more compatibly foo all the bars * * @PARAM {int} foo */ function flucvar (foo) { } When hitting enter inside the comment, eclipse automatically...
There are two free IDEs for Java: Netbeans and Eclipse. Netbeans seems to have better auto-complete support and compile/debugging support. However, it lacks support for auto-completing variable/method names, as well as word-wrap support. What are the Pros & Cons of Netbeans over Eclipse, and vice versa? ...
One thing really really annoys me about the Eclipse ide: its find UI is so old style. I would much prefer something like Firefox or Safari, that doesn't clutter my screen real estate with a useless window. ...
Does anyone know of a way to make Eclipse an SDI application rather than an MDI one? SDI - Single document interface, each pane is its own window MDI - Multiple document interface, all of the panes are stuck inside one "master" window. Eclipse is an MDI application. All of the little panes (like the call stack, variable viewer, ect) ar...
OS X 10.5.6. My Eclipse 3.4 is going crazy lately. After innocent operations like typing text or moving some files in Navigator view or saving, it sometimes starts "waiting on background operation", and eats one CPU core, shuffling back and forth tens of megabytes of memory. I suspect some of plug-ins went rogue. How can I find whic...
Is it possible to run JUnit tests for multiple packages at the same time without manually creating test suites. For example if I have the hierarchy: code.branchone code.branchone.aaa code.branchone.bbb code.branchtwo code.branchtwo.aaa code.branchtwo.bbb Is it possible to: Run all tests in code.branchone and in descendent packages R...
I was trying to add Ant libraries to a project in eclipse, and I used the ones that were part of eclipse's plugins folder. When I tried to associate them with Javadocs, I couldn't locate them in the plugin folder. I searched for them online, and I found this page, in which they say the docs are not provided online because they are part o...
My team has a fairly rich set of formatting rules and save actions and these rules are evolving. We're looking for a mechanism to define the centrally and propagate them automatically. We don't want to reformat the code base, but we expect the formatting to improve incrementally over time. We're using Subversion for source control, thoug...
Using the Subclipse plugin (1.4.5) for Eclipse (3.4.1, OS X) adds some subversion metadata to the file navigator pane, including the modified date. Unfortunately this date is in m/d/y format, when I would prefer it to be in d/m/y. Subclipse may be using Eclipse for the date formatting, but I don't recall having seen any other instances ...
I've been a Microsoft developer since VB 3, and always considered Microsoft development tools to be the best on the market. However, having used Eclipse for Java development over the last few months, I can see a lot of features that are missing in VS 2008 IDE. Yet I can't find any that I can't find alternatives for in Eclipse. Seems that...
