I have downloaded the latest Eclipse IDE, Galileo, and tested it to see if it good for developing web applications in Java. I have also tried the Ganymede version of Eclipse and find that is it also good. My Problem is that sometimes it hangs and stops responding while I am developing. Sometimes when I open a file, Eclipse hangs and doe...
I'm going to learn Objective-C, and I was wondering if there was an eclipse plugin out there to do things like syntax highlighting and easy compiling/project management. I did some preliminary searching, but I couldn't find anything. What's my best I can do for an IDE? I don't have a mac. ...
I'm looking to set up my development environment at home for writing Windows applications in Python. For my first piece, I'm writing a simple, forms-based application that stores data input as XML (and can read that information back.) I do want to set up the tools I'd use professionally, though, having already done a round of didactic p...
I have experienced problems since moving to the latest version of one of the IDEA plugins I use. I can download ZIP files of previous versions of the plugin from their website but I can't find any installation instructions for how to manually install a specific version of a plugin. Anyone know how to do this? ...
First of all, I finally made this a wiki, but I believe a "simple," straightforward answer is highly desirable, especially since the result would define a unified IDE behavior for everyone. More on the simple later. In the past, I've blogged about what it means to have a well-behaved member selection drop down. If you haven't read it, d...
Yes, I know there is MonoDevelop. But what if I want to use Textmate instead? So my question here is aimed at the .Net developer who has developed some C# applications using Textmate. I'm curious as to what their process/workflow is with this setup. What is the best C# bundle out there for syntax/language grammar? How do you build y...
I'm a complete newbie to Python. I've worked on PHP/JavaScript earlier but starting today I'm moving onto Python. I have no idea about the environment needed for it. I could use some suggestions on it for me to get started. ...
Is there any (free or cheap) IDE, which can extract part from a function as another function? ...
Is there a quick way to make Eclipse put curly brace on the next line (by itself) on a block of code? ...
Are there any free plugins for Visual Studio (2005 & 2008) that highlight all words in the current document that match a highlighted word? This feature is in Notepad++ and Eclipse, but strangly not in VS. I've tried the free version of CodeRush Express for c#, but it only works for c#. I would like the plugin to work regardless of the ...
When I'm coding VBA in Access 2003, I keep the Immediate window visible and I use Debug.Print and Stop to solve my challenges. But I've never known how to get help from the "Locals" window. I understand what's in there for the most part. But it usually seems like I'd have to dig around for the item I want, and it could take a while to...
Something I liked in Visual Studio was that I could click an opening tag, say and it would do its best to highlight in bold the closing tag. Does anyone know if you can do that in textmate? I searched an looked but cannot find it. It gets hard to find the closing tag many DIVs deep. If TextMate won't do it, can anyone tell me an e...
Sometimes to make a variable/method/class name descriptive I need to make it longer. But I don't want to, I'd like to have short names that are easy to read. So I thought of a special addin to IDE like Visual Studio to be able to write short names for class, method, field but be able to attach long names. If you need to - you can make it...
I'm a beginning Python programmer, just getting my feet wet in the language and its tools and native practices. In the past, I've used languages that were tightly integrated into IDEs, and indeed I had never before considered that it was even possible to program outside of such a tool. However, much of the documentation and tutorials fo...
There are a few tutorials online (For example) having to do with configuring emacs to work with XCode, but they all seem to be for old versions, and I haven't found one that ties neatly to XCode 3.x + Emacs 23.1 in a way that I can unpack. So, I'm running XCode 3.1.2 and the Mac Cocoa application build of Emacs 23.1. I have a passing f...
I'm developing standard J2ME apps in NETbeans, but is there any specific IDE and emulator for Blackberry development? Any specific documentation about J2ME for Blackberry? Thanks a lot in advance ...
Php in itself is difficult for IDEs because of the dynamic nature of the language. My current development environment is mostly netbeans against a local svn copy of the codebase setup in a local development webserver. The code is full text indexed by vistas search engine for almost instant searches. I do a lot of development directly a...
Hello! Is there an option in Netbeans to show icons not only for errors (which is the default behavior), but also for warnings on files|packages|... in the "Projects" view? I have to use the (somehow outdated and inconsistent) SQE plugin, just to get all warnings together! ...
I'm a student, want to star some small Java projects, for fun and learning. I think GUI designer would be important, so guess NetBeans would be my choice. However, the company I'm working in and many many other people I know are using Eclipse. So... Am I making the right decision (choosing NetBeans)? Which one of these two do you pr...
I have a form in a Delphi project. There is a button on the form. When the user clicks the button, I want it to open Windows Explorer. What code will I need to achieve this? ...
