I'm working for some time on improving a plugin for Eclipse for C/C++. In the IDE is is represented as an simple button inside the Tool Bar which is used to start an user interface. To integrate the script inside the IDE you only have to copy the .jar files inside the Eclipse/plugins folder.
At the moment I'm trying to make the plugin independent of the Eclipse IDE and it seems that I encounter some problems. I did the development in Eclipse Kepler and tested the plugin on Eclipse Kepler, Luna and Mars. It seems to be working as expected on these versions. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work for Eclipse Neon.I copy the .jar file inside the plugin folder but when i run the IDE the button is not available inside tool bar as on the other versions.
Is there any constrain that I am missing? I already checked the dependencies of the plugin.It requires only 3 additional eclipse .jar files but those files are present inside the Eclipse/plugin folder.

The files within my Gradle project are not identified by IntelliJ when a project in WSL (Windows subsystem for Linux) is opened by IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. Correct java versions are also installed within WSL and the paths are also set correctly.
This is a Gradle project and my java files are shown with a red icon on them and it says "Java file outside of source root".
Then I went to File -> Project Structure -> Modules, and observed that the correct modules were not identified.
When I open the same project in Windows or Ubuntu, the modules are automatically detected and I don't need to add them manually.
How I opened the project is using File -> Open on IntelliJ for Windows and gave the project path within WSL (E.g. \\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04\home\username\idea-project).
My Gradle versions is as below,
Has anyone come across any situation like this that could help me figure out what is the issue behind this.
Thank you.
I am trying to setup my VSCode to get proper code completion in this project: https://github.com/structurizr/java-extensions
I have the Java Extension Pack installed in my VSCode.
But it is not even recognized as a Java project. If I add every single "src" folder via "Add folder to java source path" the Java imports are recognized but the code completion is still not working.
Any hints on what is wrong or what I need to configure in my VSCode to make it work?
Thank you
Because this is a Gradle Project, In addition to Java Extension Pack, you should install Gradle Language Support.
Then reopen the project in VS Code, Gradle extension will download the required files to be able to build and compile the project. After all downloads finished, you can edit your project and auto-completion would work as normal:
Is there a way to share the same *.java files between Netbeans and Eclipse?
You can import an eclipse project into netbeans,
or you can create an eclipse project from existing sources.
Sharing the Java source files is not the problem - just put them into some source control system, and then import them in both IDEs. Usually the configuration, especially the build process, is the main problem.
In practice, the solution is likely that you maintain separate project configuration files for both IDEs, but use a common build script (e.g. ant) that is supported by both. The project configuration allows you to use IDE-specific features, while the build script makes sure that both environments produce the same output.
Of course. eclipse supports linked source folders. The sources files don't have to be located in an eclipse project folder.
Inside an eclipse java project, select New -> Folder, then select "Advanced" and check "Link to alternate location" (eclipse 3.6, may be slightly different on other eclipse versions). "Browse" to choose the source folder from the netbeans project, press Finish.
Now you have linked (standard) folder to the Java files inside the netbeans project and modifying those files will modify them at the remote location.
Finally - right-click on this linked folder and choose Build Path -> Use as source folder.
(I leave the other way round to the netbeans experts)
In the ideal case you have your code stored in a version controlled repository (SVN, CVS, etc.). Then it is not as big of a factor whether you are using Eclipse or Netbeans.
This article, taken from a NetBeans 6.2 version of documentation, explains how you can import an Eclipse project into NetBeans and work with both together. NetBeans will create new project files but will link to the Eclipse source files, allowing sharing between the two. I have not tried this yet myself, but may be going down this path soon. After switching to NetBeans just this week, noticed that a significant feature in Eclipse is not in NetBeans - that of being able to create different run configurations that are not incorporated and stored into the POM. At this point in time, I do not have a solution to the run configuration issue, but if you do, please update the SO question here.
I'm developing an Installer for a project team to reduce the amount of work they have to do installing it manually.
We are using:
Windows 7 x64,
Eclipse Kepler
Right now I'm looking for a way to import a .war file using the commandline.
Is there any way to do this via cmd?
First of all, I would not recommend importing the source code from a file in Eclipse if you have a team of developers, as you would be giving everyone a version that will hardly be actual after some days of work. Using some repository (CVS, SVN, GIT) would be the way to go.
If you have your code in a central repository, then you could make a "Project Set" file in Eclipse wich can be imported easily to setup your whole workspace:
http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Ftasks-cvs-project-set.htm
This project set might have instructions on how to construct the Workspace based on checkouts of the repositories you need.
If you happen to work at a company that uses some X or Y old-fashioned Source Control tool (or worse, none at all), and you have no chances of implementing one that is compatible with Eclipse (like the three I stated above), then the time you are saving with automating the import of a war file will become irrelevant compared to the source code control issues you will be facing (or the team is facing already).
A WAR file is a ZIP file. If you need the content of the WAR you can use the tools for ZIP archives.
A workaround in case eclipse does not have any such options would be to
do a Import WAR through eclipse GUI
check what changes are made to workspace by eclipse (eg. folder created with exploded war file content, configuration files created by eclipse in the folder like .classpath for project folders etc)
Identify the steps and replicate the same through a batch file
Add a call to the batch file in eclipse launch short cut
There is no command line API I know to do this task for Eclipse just from command line, but with the right tools you can achieve what you want.
Please try this:
Straightforward approach that works with any GUI application. You can use AutoIt scripts for interaction with any application. The downside is that GUI may change more frequently than command line API.
Try to create Eclipse project with metadata and unpack WAR file in this project. It can be done, for instance, with Maven or Gradle. Those also can download all dependencies for you.
I'm using Netbeans for my Java development, and every time I download a project that has been developed using other IDE, I can't run the project because of errors.
Is there any way to open regular people's projects easily without headache.
Note : the project am trying to open is not an Eclipse project, so I can't use the Eclipse importer.
And usually what are Java developers using for development?
Most Java developers are split between Eclipse , IntelliJ Idea and NetBeans. NetBeans is capable of opening Eclipse projects and Idea can export to Eclipse. So this should solve most problems.
Another way is to check if you project is using Maven or a similar model. Generally there are plugins for Netbeans that can handle import from this sort of sources.
I've had some luck using File > New Project… > Java > Java Project with Existing Sources, which "Imports an existing Java application into a standard IDE project. The Java application can have multiple source folders. Standard projects use an IDE-generated Ant build script to build, run, and debug your project." Conveniently, the generated script includes targets that can be overridden to alter the build process, as seen here.
We have several projects with existing ant build scripts and all I want is to have NetBeans as my code editor ...so far.
We aim for that the projects are independent of IDE as we have been used to just use emacs and ant for coding/building, which means that independant on platform you should be able to checkout the code and just build it no matter if it is within an IDE or just a shell/"DOS prompt". If you have projects like that use the "Java Free-Form project" and add all jars that you have defined in build script to also be included in Netbeans CLASSPATH.
This type of project will use your ant scripts for everything and will still work even if someone in your project prefer to use other coding environment.
Hope this can help
