In the past I have had problems upgrading from release to release of Eclipse. I was wondering how the Eclipse users on StackOverflow dealt with upgrading from release to release of Eclipse.

All the work I've done in C++ have either been to small to require a good debugger or been on windows so I've used Visual Studio at work. Now I'm faced with a situation where I need to write some C++ while being on Ubuntu, so after looking over some of the alternatives I have when picking between the IDEs I can honestly say I don't have...

The way things are in Eclipse RCP development is quite different from o...
I have what appears to be a very annoying problem. When compiling a project in Eclipse, I see no Console that shows the invocation of the Java compiler and the build results (as in NetBeans).

An everyday debugging situation for Java developers is that in which an Exception is thrown and then you need to dig into the debugger to find out what threw it. Usually you would try to set up some breakpoints before the exception is thrown and hope that you are able to determine the situation that leads up to that exception. In Eclips...
This problem has been frustrating me for some time... A lot of sites like Sourceforge use SVN or Subversion to manage their code. I have little problem compiling SVN code in C++, but when it comes to Java, my IDE gives me a headache. I've installed Subclipse for SVN support for Eclipse, and it works. I can check out any code into my Wo...

I've checked that this is not the default behavior on m...
I have created java api -ported from C# to be more specific- which aside from public interface, contains a lot of internal stuff that I don't want a user to know about. In C#, I have used doxygen to generate documentation. I presume javadoc has similar features to exclude certain public members, classes, even packages. Would someone s...

Sometimes when I jump into source code, e.g. from search or when looking up the declaration of something, the Eclipse text editor tries to display nearby long lines by horizontal scrolling. This happens even if the item I jumped to is well within the display without scrolling. I find this rather annoying, so: Is there a way to disable t...
