Eclipse on win64

Is anyone successfully using the latest 64-bit Ganymede release of Eclipse on Windows XP or Vista 64-bit? Currently I run the normal Eclipse 3.4 distribution on a 32bit JDK and launch & compile my apps with a 64bit JDK. Our previous experience has been that the 64bit Eclipse distro is unstable for us, so I'm curious if anyone is using i...

Developing on Eclipse 3.4, running on Eclipse 3.3

I'm developing an Eclipse plug-in, based on a bunch of core Eclipse plug-ins like SWT, JDT, GEF and others. I need my plug-in to be compatible with Eclipse 3.3, since many potential customers are still using it. However, personally I like the new features in Eclipse 3.4 and would like to use it for my development. This means I need PDE...

Why does the Eclipse code formatter break </a> in a Javadoc @see tag?

I'm using Eclipse 3.4 and have configured the Java code formatter with all of the options on the Comments tab enabled. The problem is that when I format a document comment that contains: * @see <a href="test.html">test</a> the code formatter inserts a space in the closing HTML, breaking it: * @see <a href="test.html">test< /a> Why?...

Eclipse spelling engine does not exist

I'm using Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) with CDT 5 on Windows. When the integrated spell checker doesn't know some word, it proposes (among others) the option to add the word to a user dictionary. If the user dictionary doesn't exist yet, the spell checker offers then to help configuring it and shows the "General/Editors/Text Editors/Spelling...

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... Anyway... personal note... moving on. I have a previous installation of the Eclipse for JEE developers (my main deal) distro and I just want to add the PDT to my...

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...

"SetPropertiesRule" warning message when starting Tomcat from Eclipse

When I start Tomcat (6.0.18) from Eclipse (3.4), I receive this message (first in the log): WARNING: [SetPropertiesRule]{Server/Service/Engine/Host/Context} Setting property 'source' to 'org.eclipse.jst.jee.server: (project name)' did not find a matching property. Seems this message does not have any severe impact, however,...

How to default the working directory for JUnit launch configurations in Eclipse?

Our Java code (not the test code) reads files from the current directory, which means the working directory needs to be set properly whenever we run the code. When launching a JUnit test from within Eclipse, a launch configuration automatically gets created. The problem is, that the working directory in that launch configuration is alwa...

Unrooted Tests

When running all my tests in Eclipse (Eclipse 3.4 'Ganymede'), one test is listed under "Unrooted Tests". I'm using Junit 3.8 and this particular test extends TestCase. I do not see any difference between this test and the other tests. I don't remember seeing this occur in Eclipse 3.3 (Europa). Clarification: We haven't moved to JUnit ...

Eclipse Search Menus disabled randomly

I use Eclipse 3.3 in my daily work, and have also used Eclipse 3.2 extensively as well. In both versions, sometimes the Search options (Java Search, File Search, etc) in the menu get disabled, seemingly at random times. However, with CTRL + H, I am able to access the search functionality. Does anyone know why this happens? Has it bee...

Subversive connectors not working with newest Ganymede update

I'm using Subversive plugin in Ganymede, but after today's update it stopped working - it just doesn't see any valid svn connectors (I've already been using 1.2.0 dev version of SVNKit, instead of a stable one, because Subversive / Ganymede could not handle it; now it can't handle even the dev one). Any ideas how to make it work? Are sub...

How to stop Eclipse 3.4 losing reference to the JRE in projects

Sometimes when using eclipse it loses references to the JRE. i.e. It cannot find classes like Object or Arraylist. Some projects report a problem while others don't and they both use the same JRE. I have found that if you switch the installed JRE to another and then back again to the one you want to use, it will then work again Is th...

Problem with update site categories in Eclipse 3.4

I am using Eclipse 3.4 (ganymede official, not the service pack). I have an update site that organizes features into categories; everything looks great in the editor and in the XML. Once the site is online, accessing it in the usual manner tells me that all the features are "uncategorized". I've tried from multiple computers running 3....

In Eclipse, how do I replace a character by a new line ?

In Eclipse 3.3.2, I would like to replace a character (say ',') by a new line in a file. What should I write in the "Replace with" box in order to do so ? EDIT : Many answers seems to be for Eclipse 3.4. Is there a solution for Eclipse 3.3.X ? ...

Attach Source Issue in Eclipse

In Eclipse (Ganymede) I'm debugging some code that uses Apache Commons HttpClient and would like to step into the HttpClient code. I've downloaded the source code and tried to attach it in the normal fashion (CTRL-click on the method name and use the Attach Source button). I've tried to attach both as external file and external folder wi...

Renaming accessor/mutator methods in Eclipse?

eclipse beakpoint: stop before leaving a Java method

Is there a way to tell the debugger to stop just before returning, on whichever statement exits from the method, be it return, exception, or fall out the bottom? I am inspired by the fact that the Java editor shows me all the places that my method can exit - it highlights them when you click on the return type of the method declaration, ...

Eclipse & Tomcat: How to specify which folder is served from the project?

I'm using Eclipse 3.4 and Tomcat 5.5 and I have a Dynamic Web Project set up. I can access it from http://127.0.0.1:8080/project/ but by default it serves files from WebContent folder. The real files, that I want to serve, can be found under folder named "share". This folder comes from CVS so I'd like to use it with its given name instea...
