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...

Eclipse Ganymede hacks, hints, tips, tricks, and best practices

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...

Eclipse - How can I change a 'Project Facet' from Tomcat 6 to Tomcat 5.5?

(Eclipse 3.4, Ganymede) I have an existing Dynamic Web Application project in Eclipse. When I created the project, I specified 'Default configuration for Apache Tomcat v6' under the 'Configuration' drop down. It's a month or 2 down the line, and I would now like to change the configuration to Tomcat 'v5.5'. (This will be the version of...

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...

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...

Eclipse Ganymede not validating JSPs properly

I just installed Ganymede and am exploring an old project in it. All of my JSPs are giving me weird validation errors. I'm seeing stuff like - Syntax error on token "}", delete this token Syntax error on token "catch", Identifier expected Syntax error, insert "Finally" to complete TryStatement I'm doing best practice stuff here, no s...

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....

Using .NET's UserControl as an embedded control via COM

Hi, I'm porting an existing .NET 3.5 application into a plug-in for Eclipse. I want to have my custom UserControl, written in C#, embedded within Eclipse; I've exported it successfully as a COM Control, and it works well in Eclipse Europa. In Ganymede, it seems the OLE load code has changed, and what originally worked in Europa, fai...

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...

Make Eclipse treat .h file as C++?

I am beginning to use Eclipse Ganymede with CDT at work. Unfortunately, all of our C++ headers use a .h extension. Eclipse thinks these are C headers and flags them with lots of syntax errors on things like classes and namespaces. I've tried to change the file type association, but it's "locked". Interestingly, "*.h" is associated wi...

Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede Javascript Validation Issue

I just upgraded to Eclipse 3.4 for the second time and I think its for good now. The first time (right when it was released) was too buggy for me to stomach (mainly the PDT 2.0 plug-in); but now it seems to be all worked out. My problem is the Javascript validator. If I define a class in one JS file in my project, then try to use it in ...

Eclipse CDT 5.0.1 (Ganymede) slow indexer problem

I am trying to use Ganymede CDT to index our large codebase. It is painfully slow, can take a whole night to index the C++ files. Same project takes only 5 seconds to index with exuberant ctags 5.7. Is there some way to find what the root of the problem is and to speed it up? Maybe turn on logging in CDT, or some obscure option somewher...

Specific JRE name (which might not be the same on other computers) stored in meta-data for Eclipse Ganymede WTP project

Problem overview: When using Eclipse Ganymede with the Web Tools Platform the project gets dependent on the exact JRE name I use. The name might be different on other developers machines, how is this problem best solved so that many developers may work together on the project?
