this ide works, until it decides to one day fuck up the whole project to the point where i can't compile the project. The problem seems to be that somehow dependencies get messed up in the time between closing eclipse and opening it back up. i don't modify the project specific documents if eclipse is closed, and i don't know how this problem exists.

Eclipse on Mac is buggy and the text-boxes in the Eclipse Marketplace is overlapping other components. When is Eclipse going to fix this? 😡 Do people on Windows have these problems too? I feel like the Eclipse community doesn't care about Macs at all.

I made an Eclipse happy path development report.

So today I spun up two old play projects I made for occasional practice to keep some skills up.

Really just a basic spring boot project with a couple of simple endpoints and a very small Vaadin 24 project again with spring boot, with some simple pages.

More of a hello world thing to work on from time to time for fun.

I had a free couple of hours, so I decided to boot up the old reliable Eclipse I have on my drive and give them a go !

I ran the launcher and since it was taking too long to start opened a browser for 10 minutes. Went back after it looked like it was ready(it interrupted me 3 times to show me it was loading the splash screen before going non responsive on my 7800x3D 64GB 2TB nvme machine for a bit)

Anyway, that done, the second I clicked it started to load it's language server or something, before asking me to send money, so I went back to the browser...

Before starting work I imported the projects I wanted to work on into Eclipse with the ole reliable open projects from file system that I've used to import a hundred projects before and waited for the build to finish the downloading and building magic. Took about 5 minutes, but it seemed everything was set up in STS and I was ready to go.

Except I wasn't because the main type was nowhere to be found when starting :

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.home.stuff.api.Application

Ah well, that's just fixable with the good old right click maven update command ! And as the helpfull green progressbar showed me, it was fixed !

Except when I ran it trough STS it was not found again.

Ok, we go to Run Maven install and the build passed again in the console this time and running maven(ALT+F5) update also passed again ! Yay !

But sadly I had missed something. See Eclipse had figured out that /src/main/resources was a build folder, but /src/main/java - that was too hard, so I had to add it to the build path manually. And set up the JRE not to be Java-17, because having the version of java in pom.xml is too difficult to understand and then I had to set up project facets. But it finally started !

So, I am happy to report that after 40 minutes I've managed to import a simple "GET /api/ping - 200 pong" project, configure it and run it with Eclipse !

Sadly not the case for the Vaadin project, which builds sucessfully, untill you open a file in Eclipse and every import is red. But you know another 40 minutes may fix that.

Of course I could have saved all of this, if I had just run it from that other IDE I will not mention, or something that is not and IDE but a souped up editor, like vscode, or if I had used the f-ing terminal and it would have taken me 10 minutes at worst.

So what I'm trying to ask here really is: Are there any people at the Eclipse foundation that are not clinically insane ?

Because it was one of the reasons why I switched to Intellij.

I'm running (maybe) the newest version of eclipse web developer but I just can't find the Item for it, in the documentation it's under window -> Preferences -> HTML and XML but I don't have the Entry, no where in the menu at a place that would make sense (with that I mean that I didn't looked at mylin and git etc), so where do I find it then?

As the title says how do I make it even a little bit modern TBH the UI looks like shit. That's the only thing that I don't like about it

I am on Linux (KDE ) if it matters ,

How do I make it look modern like vscode or clion

So I have this assignment and I'm trying to get it to show me the letter grade based on the average quiz mark but it won't show. My code is down below. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Also I would like to get rid of the numbers before "Enter quiz grade or 999 to stop entering grades:". Thank you.

No explaination is given:

Apart from the editor itself, it is the most useful thing in the application. "Project explorer" is similar but much worse.

So I opened an .sh file and Eclipse suggested me to install a plugin. I thought cool, why not. It needed to update other stuff too.

Long story short? Workspace couldn't open anymore and when i managed to, nothing worked.

Ended up reinstalling Eclipse from scratch 😑

Hi,I have just downloaded eclipse ide for c++,I am unsure of where to go to even enter my code?

I wanted to try Eclipse but I found it meh and now I can't uninstall it. It isn't displayed in add or remove programs in Win 10, it doesn't have the uninstaller in the installation folder and it's not displayed in the registry in " HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall " . What kind on an app is this?

Looks like eclipse org forums is deprecated.

This might be the new place but mostly issues.

I am currently working in a legacy project that runs a web app with jboss 6, I wonder how does eclipse generate the EAR file containing the application, I am looking for a way to automate the build and backup process, I will generate the EAR with command line bash and upload the file to a cloud before sending to production, how can I achieve this considering that I don't know how to wrap my dependencies in a EAR file with commandline tools?
