I was amazed to find out that apparently Eclipse doesn't come with a decent HTML editor by default (it opened my .html file in some kind of browser view and apparently tried to render it). And the basic text editor is not good enough (I need at least some syntax highlighting and automatic indenting). Any suggestions? ...
Alright it can be a lame question, but everybody uses these things differently. What's some of the best time savers out there for this IDE. Tom ...
I've recently had to switch from Visual Studio to Eclipse CDT. It would seem that Eclipse "workspaces" are not quite like VS solution files. Eclipse workspaces use the .metadata folder for managing multiple projects, but there doesn't seem to be a simple distinction between user settings or IDE preferences and project/solution settings...
When using an aggregate control in some reports you would prefer to see a blank field instead of 0. There does not appear to be a way to do this automatically. Does anyone have a way that this can be done. Note, you want to maintain the '0' value for the field in cases when you export, but you want to show a blank when rendering to PD...
In Eclipse, I have a workspace that contains all of my projects. Each project builds and compiles separately. A project does not interact with another project. How does this relate to Visual Studio and Projects/Solutions there? ...
I want to use a real IDE for editing javascript files in combination with Firebug. In the 'Add editor' dialog for Firebug I'm allowed to specify executable and arguments. So the question is really how do I open a file in Eclipse/Netbeans from the command line. Extra points for allowing me to choose between opening a new Eclipse/netbean...
I'm using Eclipse as my IDE for a C++ project, and I would love for it to tell me where a given symbol is defined and what the parameters are for a function. However, there's a catch: I also use Lazy C++, a tool that takes a single source file and generates the .h and the .cpp files. Those .lzz files look like headers, but this tool sup...
Edit: This question had been tagged "Tolstoy" in appreciation of the quality and length of my writing:) Just reading the first and the last paragraph should be enough:) If you tend to select and move code with the mouse, the stuff in middle could be interesting to you. This question is about how you use text editors in general. I’m loo...
SVN in Eclipse is spread into 2 camps. The SVN people have developed a plugin called Subclipse. The Eclipse people have a plugin called Subversive. Broadly speaking they both do the same things. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? ...
In Eclipse, I can switch through open editors using control-page up/down. This works great, except for editors like XML or JavaScript, where there are Design and Source tabs. For those editors, it just toggles between the different tabs. Is there any way to get Eclipse to ignore them? I know about alt-F6 for "Next Editor", but that doesn...
How can I get PDO to work on my mac (os x 10.5)? I'm using the built in php and php in Zend/Eclipse. Can't seem to find useful drivers for it at all. ...
Hi, Nokia has stopped offering its Developer's Suite, relying on other IDEs, including Eclipse. Meanwhile, Nokia changed its own development tools again and EclipseMe has also changed. This leaves most documentation irrelevant. I want to know what does it take to make a simple Hello-World? (I already found out myself, so this is a Q&...
I am currently developing a Drupal webpage using PDT. When running without XDebug, the site works fine. When I enable XDebug, the site works fine but opens up tons of Javascript errors that I need to click through. Example: A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to Debug? Line: 1 Error: Syntax error -- It seems to only be a prob...
Is there an Eclipse command to surround the current selection with parentheses? Creating a template is a decent workaround; it doesn't work with the "Surround With" functionality, because I want to parenthesize an expression, not an entire line, and that requires ${word_selection} rather than ${line_selection}. Is there a way that I ca...
How do I fix a broken debugger, one that just won't start, in EclipseME (now Mobile Tools Java)? (This question has an answer which will be transferred from another question soon) ...
I would like to debug my separately running JSP/Struts/Tomcat/Hibernate application stack using the Eclipse IDE debugger. How do I setup the java JVM and eclipse so that I can set breakpoints, monitor variable values, and see the code that is currently executing? ...
Most of our Eclipse projects have multiple source folders, for example: src/main/java src/test/java When you right-click on a class and choose New JUnit Test, the default source folder for the new test is "src/main/java" (presumably the first source folder listed in the project properties). Is there any way to change the default sou...
I've recently started using Eclipse Ganymede CDT for C development and I couldn't like it more. I'm aware the learning curve could be sort of pronounced, therefore and with your help, my goal is to flatten it as much as possible. I'm looking for the best hacks, hints, tips, tricks, and best practices to really unleash the full power of t...
I'm making a method combining Scrum with the OpenUP lifecycle and deliverables. I also want to keep the OpenUP disciplines apart from "Project Management". I can "hide" it so that it's not immediately obvious in my generated method site, but when when you navigate to the Risk List artifact for example the PM is still seen as contributi...
It finally started to annoy me enough to ask this question: how do I do a basic diff between two revisions of a file in CVS? Usually I want to compare the latest revision and some random old one. I'm using the Eclipse CVS plugin. When I use "compare with->Another branch or version..." from the selected file's (latest revision from HEAD o...
