Can't add server to a moved workspace

I have this workspace downloaded off the web and I try running it on a tomcat server from a fresh installation of Eclipse Ganymede. This particular project came with its own workspace.

Eclipse memory use

Hi, I use the recent Ganymede release of Eclipse, specifically the distro for Java EE and web developers. I have installed a few additional plugins (e.g. Subclipse, Spring, FindBugs) and removed all the Mylyn plugins. I don't do anything particularly heavy-duty within Eclipse such as starting an app server or connecting to databases, ...

How to evaluate Eclipse RCP for an in-house project?

I have only a basic understanding of Eclipse RCP. I am about to start an in-house application for our technical support team, that will likely grow over time.

Why use Jython when you could just use Java?

The standard answer is that it's useful when you only need to write a few lines of code ... I have both languages integrated inside of Eclipse. Because Eclipse handles the compiling, interpreting, running etc. both "run" exactly the same. The Eclipse IDE for both is similar - instant "compilation", intellisense etc. Both allow the use ...

Color Themes for Eclipse?

I am a recovering Emacs user, who is trying to ease into Eclipse usage. (Since I'm encouraging the rest of the team to use it, I guess I should at least try to get along). My current excuse is that it hurts my eyes. I'm currently using the excellent zenburn theme in emacs, and would love to find it for eclipse. However, I find that chan...

How do I install PDT 2.0 in Eclipse Ganymede?

I've been trying to install PDT in Eclispe 3.4 for a few hours now and I'm not having any success. I'm probably just stupid, but I hate Eclipse's plug-in and update manager...

Has anyone got an example of aerith style swing mixed with GUI maintainability of SWT editing?

My boss loves VB (we work in a Java shop) because he thinks it's easy to learn and maintain. We want to replace some of the VB with java equivalents using the Eclipse SWT editor - because we think it is almost as easy to maintain. To sell this - we'd like to use an aerith style L&F. Can anyone provide an example of an SWT application s...

How can I get word wrap to work in Eclipse PDT for PHP files?

Programming PHP in Eclipse PDT is predominately a joy: code completion, templates, method jumping, etc. However, one thing that drives me crazy is that I can't get my lines in PHP files to word wrap so on long lines I'm typing out indefinitely to the right. I click on Windows|Preferences and type in "wrap" and get: Java | Code Style ...

Getting Started with an IDE?

Having programmed through emacs and vi for years and years at this point, I have heard that using an IDE is a very good way of becoming more efficient. To that end, I have decided to try using Eclipse for a lot of coding and seeing how I get on. Are there any suggestions for easing the transition over to an IDE. Obviously, some will th...

Can eclipse extract a second class in class file to its own file

I often refactor code first by creating an inner class inside the class I'm working on--When I'm done, I move the entire thing into a new class file. This makes refactoring code into the new class extremely easy because A) I'm only dealing with a single file, and B) I don't create new files until I have a pretty good idea of the name/na...

What is your favorite hot-key in Eclipse?

I've been using Visual Studio with Re-Sharper for the past few years and have recently taken a gig at a Java shop where we use Eclipse. Googling for Eclipse hotkeys has returned a bunch of 'Top 10 Hot-Key' posts, but that's about it. What are your favorite hotkeys? And which are essential? ...

What is the proper way to do a Subversion merge in Eclipse?

I'm pretty used to how to do CVS merges in Eclipse, and I'm otherwise happy with the way that both Subclipse and Subversive work with the SVN repository, but I'm not quite sure how to do merges properly. When I do a merge, it seems to want to stick the merged files in a seperate directory in my project rather than overwriting the old f...

Eclipse text comparison order

I'm using Eclipse 3.4 (on Mac) and I've got an annoyance with the text comparison having the files I'm comparing in a specific order which is not what I want. When I compare two files it always seems to put the first file (alphabetically) on the left, and the latter one on the right, but I want to be able to change this on a comparison ...

Is Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) memory usage significantly higher than 3.2?

I was happily using Eclipse 3.2 (or as happy as one can be using Eclipse) when for a forgotten reason I decided to upgrade to 3.4. I'm primarily using PyDev, Aptana, and Subclipse, very little Java development. I've noticed 3.4 tends to really give my laptop a hernia compared to 3.2 (vista, core2duo, 2G). Is memory usage on 3.4 actually...

I would like to automatically convert between tabs and spaces for indentation when I commit/update code to/from our repository. I have found the AnyEdit plugin for eclipse, which can convert directories of files. Not bad for a start, but does anybody have more expierience on how to handle this? Or maybe know of an Ant script or something...
