Eclipse Not Showing Errors on Lefthand Side - java

So I've been using Eclipse on my mac for the past 4 months with no problems but suddenly things are acting up. Before, Eclipse would show me a red dot on the lefthand scroll bar when I was working on a class in a project. Now, for some reason, all it does is grey-out that line number but it does not show me that dot like it used to. I've tried restarting both Eclipse and my computer, I've tried working on different projects and classes, I've made sure a project builder is selected, and I've checked that the "show errors" options are all checked. I do not like having to have another window open to see exactly where all my errors are; I preferred just having the red section on my class screen. Any other suggestions?
Thanks everyone!

You could try looking here: Error indicators in file margin in eclipse indigo
Open Preferences, select General/Editors/Text editors/Annotations, and make sure that the errors/warnings are selected to be displayed in the Vertical and Overview rulers.
or
Figured it out, if you go to system preferences > general > click the "when scrolling" button, to only show the scroll bar when scrolling it fixes it. Mine was previously on "always". I restarted eclipse and it shows the errors/warning message etc now.'

Eclipse doesn't suggest a class that needs to be imported later

I don't know if this is a bug or it's just how it's supposed to be، but whenever I try to type a class like the class random, in eclipse it doesn't give me a suggestion for it. Even when I press Ctrl + Space.
PS: However eclipse does tell me to import the class when I hover the mouse over it.
First thing to try is cleaning your projects via top menus: Project > Clean
note: pressing Ctrl+Space multiple times will cycle through different content assist proposals. Also Ctrl+1 will bring up the quick fixes dialog for errors on your current cursor's line.
I had a similar issue recently, go to:
Window > Preferences then Java > Editor > Content Assist > Advanced
In there I unchecked all the boxes and clicked Apply at the bottom. Then turned on the same options I had just disabled and clicked Apply again and that fixed it.

NetBeans IDE 8.0.2 Output Window

How can I open output window in NetBeans IDE 8.0.2? I tried multiple options below:
Go to Window option> Click on output
Clicking Ctrl+4
Right click on the bottom right corner of NetBeans and Click on Show Output
Unfortunately, none of the options are working out. I see NetBeans is “running process” when clicked on Run but output does not show. And when clicked on stop process, the system gets hanged.
Please help me, thanks!
Try Window>Reset Windows to revert to your originial netbeans UI config.
Well sometimes even if you try Window->Output(Ctrl+4) option, it seems not to be working because your Editor window is maximized. Drag your mouse to the top right corner of the editor, where the restore/maximize button located. Click on the restore. Hope it will solve the issue.

Running Projects in IntelliJ

I've got a project from my teacher, in which i should add my implementation for a certain aspect.
The Project already got a main method but still the "Run" and "Debug" buttons in the top right corner are greyed out.
I've also tried right clicking the main method and java file, but it doesnt show me run or debug.
Also tried using the "Make Project" Button (top right corner), but it doesnt let me run it either.
How can i run the project?
Help would be much appreciated cause I cant seem to find a solution...
the "run" and "debug"-button in the top run the currently selected main-method. As long as you haven't selected one, you can't run it. In the current version on the left side of the editor-pane, there should be a green arrow right next to the main-button. Run it once via clicking that arrow and from that point on you can run/debug the program using the buttons on the top-window.
In this image you can see the green arrows (version 2016.2.4).
Alternatively, you can use the following more complicated, but also more versatile option:
Directly from the run- and debug-buttons is a button that toggles a list. In the initial configuration of the project, this list contains exactly one Item: "Edit Configurations...". Use it to create a custom-target - go for Application, if your using a java-class as entry-point - and set up the configuration as you wish. Clicking the arrow mentioned earlier does basically the same with a bit of automatic configuration.
Third alternative:
Open the context-menu on the main-method. It as well contains options to run and debug the program with the marked method as entry-point. Works for the context-menu of the respective class as well.
You have to add a run configuration. Do this with clicking the grey button and then clicking at sth with configurations (i am not in front of my PC), then add there the config
Does your main method have the proper syntax for arguments? I found that in Eclipse, the program will not let you run the main method if it is not in the format of public static void main(String[] args). Also, does your code compile properly and your IDE just doesn't let you run it?

Eclipse: how to show the Markers tab in the bottom pane

Out of box, Eclipse has a few tabs such as Properties, Search, and Console in its bottom pane when it is in edit mode.
A while ago, by accident I closed a tab called "Markers" (I hope my memory serves me right). In this tab, I can see Java compilation errors.
How can I show the Markers tab in the bottom pane?
Thanks and regards.
Edit: I am using version Luna 4.4.1.
Markers is a part of General view folder. You can show it up from "Window>Show View>Other". You will find Markers either by expanding 'General' or by searching for it.
It's called the Problems view even though what it shows is Markers.
Windows menu > Show View > Problems View
If the Problems view is not listed there just select Other then search for "Problem".
Not sure which version of Eclipse you have, but go to the menu at the top, then select Window - Show view - Other- General - Markers.

Netbeans JApplet Webstart - icons not appearing on button when run

Hey there - just wondering if anyone knows the trick to getting icons to display on button in a JApplet. When I add the icon from a png in my package via the properties panel it turns up in the NetBeans IDE as expected but when I run the launch file it isn't there. I can confirm that the file exists in my Jar and no exceptions seem to be thrown in relation to missing files.
If I create a similar application using a JForm and run it directly from NetBeans the icon appears as expected.
EDIT:
It seems this is confined to Chrome... works correctly in IE9 and FF 3.6
EDIT:
Replicate as follows - no coding required:
Create a NetBeans 6.9.1 Project with the following settings:
Java --> JavaApplication
[Next>]
Name e.g. JavaApplication1
Untick "Create Main Class"
[Finish]
Add a png image "MyIcon" to the src directory.
Right Click "JavaApplication1" Project in Projects panel and select New -> JApplet Form
[Finish]
Drag a button onto the form, right click -> properties -> icon and choose "MyIcon" from the pre-populated dropdown menu. You should see the icon appear on the button in the IDE.
Build the project, then navigate via explorer to the dist/launch.html file and run it in Firefox or IE and the icon will be there, run it an Chrome 10 and it won't.
It seems this problem magically went away and now I wish I had noted the exact version of Chrome that I had so that I could tell whether it updated or not. I worked around the problem but inadvertently left an icon on a button - I started work again today on my project and how-you-doing there was a lonely icon on a button - there are three possible reasons why this happened:
1 - I shut down my machine overnight; aka restart (93% Sure this was it)
2 - I moved the entire Netbeans project to another directory (5% Sure this was it)
3 - maybe but unlikely Chrome updated itself with a fix (2% Sure this was it)
