I wonder, if there is an Eclipse plugin for code birdview (preview, visualization, minimap, however it may be called)? I mean, when you see your code in a small preview window and may scroll using this window. Wait, I'll show you...
Like this. (See the column, where the white rectangle is).
Here is "Overview" plugin from a deleted by a mod answer that provides a minimap view.
(I don't see a reason for deletion, it's exactly what OP asked for).
I saw this question again today, and found someone working on such a plugin on github. I have no idea how far progressed this project is, but it may be worth checking out:

Hope this helps!
Minimap is now present in Eclipse starting version 4.9

I am currently going trying to learn java, and my IDE is Eclipse. I connected my Github account and am easily able to push/pull etc. Everything is working great, except for the fact that my commits are not coming up on my Contributions.
I think I have found the issue, but I am not sure what the solution is. If someone can help that would be great, I'm sure it's an easy fix.
Under the "Git Staging" tab on Eclipse, there is a section for 'Author', and 'Committer'.
As I was writing this message I was able to solve this issue.
Under the author & committer section, all you have to do is change it from:
name <name#localhost>
To:
GitHubUsername <GitHubEmail>
For a more permenant solution:
Through this method, it should automatically change the default Author/Committer to what you enter here.

This is Anas here and I just wonder if one can share his though about windowsbuilder on eclipse. I installed it from help link through selecting SWT, GWT other plugins and all gone well but after a restart those plugins are not working. Precisely, Eclipse IDE is showing those links enabled but it takes me to interface asking to install some additional toolkits, again when I proceed, I met a repository not found error.
Hunting over web, I have tried -clean and checked my port address. Thanks for your comment!!
Well Anas,
I understood your problem so follow these simple steps to overcome this solutions
First install the Indigo[3.7.2] version Eclipse from this link:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
And then go to eclipse--->Help---->InstallNewSoftware and paste the below link>
WindowBuilder[1.6] Pro Update Site - http://dl.google.com/eclipse/inst/d2wbpro/latest/3.7
And select WindowBuilder Specific Checkboxes and proceed accordingly.
After that if you want to do a simple example of using windowBuider
just go through this link it might be helpful for you in this regard:
http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/topic/org.eclipse.wb.doc.user/html/NewComponentsTutorial.pdf
In case still you are facing issues feel free to reach me SUNIL
Check over here for available WindowsBuilder versions:
https://www.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/download.php
Take a link, and pass it on Eclipse IDE's feature installer, which takes the URI. Aim for the version of the builder which is supported by that IDE version.
If you take the latest version of WindowsBuilder, it does not mean that the specific IDE does support it.
Best regards
What I am trying to accomplish is to select an area on the screen with the mouse (outside of the may frame) and get the resulting region coordinates using Sikuli.
The code that should do this looks is below:
Screen screen = Screen.getPrimaryScreen();
Region region = screen.selectRegion("Select the area.");
What happens is that the cursor turns into a selector cross (the ones you usually see when you expect this function), but I can't select the area and actually the only way I can get back from the application is by killing it. Not too many examples I have found so I am asking for help here.
How can I make this work?
Also one other question:
I have downloaded the following script version:
Sikuli-IDE-1.0.0-Win64.zip
This means if I want to create a crossplatform solution I have to include like 6 jars? I have found a more universal Java API it seems (that is what it is called actually):
https://code.google.com/p/sikuli-api/
With all required supported OS but I can't find a single example on what I am trying to do that is similar to the little code snippet I pasted here. The sikuli script I am using now and this Sikuli API (apparently not the same) seems to be just different enough to amke this difficult.
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance.
As it turns out, this only happens if I put this functionality on a Swing button's actionhandler. I have reported the bug to Sikuli and it will be probably fixed in the next release.
I spent a lot of time googling, now I'll try it here. Some of you might know the "regions" available in Microsoft Visual Studio, which allow you to collaps an arbitrary part of your code to just a single line, more or less like
// [start] The text which will appear instead of the collapsed part
...
A bunch of lines of code
...
// [end]
In my opinion this is a really fine way to comment code, but it doesn't seem to be available for Java and Eclipse. However, there was a plugin for that ( click ) but it doesn't work with Eclipse Helios.
So here's my question: Do you know a way to achieve this kind of code folding in a current version of eclipse?
You can try this one - http://incubator.apache.org/isis/ide-support.html
It claims to be working on Eclipse 3.5, so there is a chance it will work on 3.6/3.7 (you will have to try).
Hope that helps!
I'm looking at learning JavaFX.
I've tried setting Eclipse to develop a small app and I've downloaded the Eclipse plugin.
Eclipse JavaFX plugin
BUT... it just seems, well, flakey.
So I have 3 questions...
1: Is there a better plugin?
2: Or is there some great set of tutorials out there that I'm missing?
3: finally, is it meant to be easy to call Java code from FX? I'm stuggling, it there a good example somewhere?
On questions 1 & 2, Eclipse underlines code in red that just shouln't be. For example..
see this image... alt text http://www.qenet.co.uk/fx.jpg
Why does it underline bit of imports in red?
I know this is little of an open ended question. So I guess my main question is this...
Is my experiance of JavaFX and Eclipse the best I can hope for? Or am I missing something ?
(and I'm not looking for a Yes/No response) :-)
Just looking for a discussion on how best to learn/develop JavaFx.
This kind of thing is not unusual. A lot of Eclipse plugin editors have problems dealing with error tags and the like. For example,
I find that the XML and HTML file editors often fail to clear error and warning markers, and the only way to get rid of the markers it is close and reopen the file.
Even the Java viewer gets it wrong in some circumstances, though the problem goes away when the relevant files are saved.
When you update a spelling dictionary, the spelling checker is not rerun and the spelling error markers are not updated. In fact, you have to restart Eclipse for this to happen.
I suggest that you try saving files, and closing/reopening editors to see if that makes the bogus error markers go away. Then decide whether Eclipse is the right IDE for this task.
I've never used NetBeans (at all), but you would expect that it would do a better job supporting JavaFX. After all NetBeans and JavaFX are both high profile Sun products at the moment.
Netbeans is really the only way to go at the moment for JavaFX development. They are both Sun products and Sun has made sure the two work very well together. Before long Eclipse and others will catch up but for the moment that's how it is.
There is another JavaFX plug-in for Eclipse from Exadel. You can download it here: http://exadel.org/javafxplugin. Give it a try.
I have similar problems but funnily only under Linux, not Windows. Hope they change that soon.
To me this has happened when I wronlgy installed javafx sdk 1.2.3....This plugin works only with 1.2.1... :/
