How to debug a shared library using eclipse/gdb on Windows?

At my university we are currently developing a VST-Plugin on Windows using open source tools.

I have a plug-in that I am distributing via an Eclipse update site. I want to track how many times it is being downloaded, and preferably by whom.

Anyone got LunarEclipse to work with Eclipse 3.4.1?

I spent a couple of hours yesterday trying to get LunarEclipse to work with Eclipse 3.4.1 and DLTK 1.0 I looked at some bug reports at their sourceforge project page and they said that their 1.2.9 version was supposed to work with DLTK1.0.

My subclipse colors don't work

This is probably a simple issue for some subclipse guru. My decorator colors don't work in eclipse. I'm guessing that some plugin I have is interfering with it somehow. I'm on the current public release of ganymede. Going to the fonts and colors option area lets me change the decorator text color, but I get no effect in the project e...

Ant build consoles get clobbered by dependent projects in Eclipse

I have a set of dependent projects in Eclipse, each with its own Ant build script. If I make a change in multiple projects, then select "Build All" (Ctrl+B), each Ant build is invoked in the correct order. But if there is an error in one project, Eclipse still tries to build the other projects also, and in the process clobbers the Ant co...

Change text encoding for multiple files at once in Eclipse

I have some UTF-8 HTML templates in my Eclipse project and Eclipse keeps treating them as if they had a different encoding. It says the encoding is "determined from content".

Windows authentication with Eclipse

I use Eclipse daily for software development and those of you that use it know that you download plugins and updates regularly. The company I work for has Bluecoat installed, which blocks all of the updates. However, the update URLs are not blocked in Internet Explorer.

Java refactoring tools

Hi, I make very heavy use of the Java code refactoring tools provided by Eclipse (extract interface, rename method, etc.).

I'm awar...
