What is this thing in NetBeans interface and how to turn it off? - netbeans

I just installed NetBeans on Linux and see these useless hints. I just want to turn it off but I don't even know what it is called.
Most options in Tools -> Options -> Editor don't work.

QEMU Eclipse Plug-In doesn't seem to be installing properly

I am attempting to setup Eclipse as an ARM development environment. I have been following the instructions on the Github page but am having a small issue. The QEMU plug-in doesn't appear to be installing correctly, or at all.
From the images shown on both this page and this page(near the bottom), there should be an option for QEMU in the Properties Menu under Run/Debug. However, when I look at the Eclipse Properties after installing the plug-ins, QEMU doesn't appear as an option.
I want to make sure I'm setting up the environment properly, and I can't seem to find anything either here or on Google where other people seem to be having this issue. Does anyone know what may be going wrong?
I experienced the same struggle and concern as you but discovered that the QEMU executable path setting seems to have moved from Preferences → Run/Debug → QEMU to Preferences → MCU → Global QEMU Path and the plugin functions correctly.

Netbeans 8.1 on Debian 9 no plugins available

I've just installed Debian 9 and NetBeans 8.1. I use to work with this setup so I'm familiarized with it. But now, my NetBeans is not detecting any 'available plugins' (it just come with the basics, but I need PHP support, in addition to typescript and more stuff).
I have a working Internet connection
In 'settings' -> 'proxy settings', 'use system proxy settings' is checked, furthermore when I click on 'Test connection' it shows the green check.
At '~/.netbeans/8.1/var/log/.log' it looks like there is no error showing.
I have ran NetBeans with root privileges and same happens.
Something strange is that, when I click 'Check for newest', it "checks" so quick (double quote because I doubt it does anything).
Any ideas?
Netbeans 7 hides most plugins by default.
From Tools (Menu) -> Plugins (Menu) -> Settings (Tab)
Certified Plugins - http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/7.0.1/uc/final/certified/catalog.xml.gz
Plugin Portal - http://plugins.netbeans.org/nbpluginportal/updates/7.0/catalog.xml.gz
and NetBeans Distribution
and make sure each of them is checked. If these are not present or not checked, you will not see anything in the list of Available Plugins (tab). Make sure you Reload Catalog on the Available Plugins tab after adding these.

CDT on hover show documentation

In JDT, if we hover any object, like a function, class, variable etc, eclipse shows the documentation in a tool tip. This documentation is also displayed when the code-assist window shows the possibilities.
However, CDT does not work like this. By default, it shows the code of the hovered object. There's a setting in Window -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Editor -> Hovers, to choose Documentation to be displayed, but unfortunately it does not show anything. Also there's a project called libhover, but it seems it does not work with in-code doxygen comments.
Is there any solution to mimic JDT hover behavior in CDT?
Install LinuxTools plugin to Eclipse C/C++ IDE
Help / Install New Software... / Add...
Name=Linux Tools
Location=http://download.eclipse.org/linuxtools/update-3.2
Check for updated LinuxTools location url here
Install following packages, restart Eclipse after it's done.
C/C++ Library API Documentation Hover Help
Libhover for Newlib Feature
Library Hover help for devhelp documentation
You should get tooltips for C standard library functions such as malloc, memset, printf. I just did this for Eclipse Luna (4.2.2) with MinGW-builds_64bit in Windows 7.
I don't know what happens in C++ projects I guess it needs Doxygen tricks which I am not familiar with.

Eclipse Plugins not appearing in Preferences, Views, or Perspective

I'm using Eclipse 3.7 Indigo, Java Developer IDE. I've installed Maven, RESTClient, e4HTTP. But, I do not see them in the Preferences, Views, Perspective. I've looked everywhere to figure out why and am completely lost. Is there something I'm missing? Is there a trick? Thanks... Thoroughly frustrated.
When you say you installed these products I assume you meant that you installed the plugins for those products in Eclipse and not just on your machine.
Try these troubleshooting steps:
Open the plugin registry view (Window -> Show View...) and make sure the plugins you installed are listed.
Invoke Eclipse with the -clean park. This will force Eclipse to refresh several chaches and this often fixes similar problems.
Open the Error Log view (Window -> Show View...) and click on the red X to clear the messages. Stop and start Eclipse to see if any informative or otherwise helpful messages appear in the log.

How can I change eclipse's Internal Browser from IE to Firefox on Windows XP?

How can I change eclipse's Internal Browser from IE to Firefox on Windows XP?
To be more specific I need to change the Internal Browser instead of adding the External Browser through Preferences -> General -> Web Browser.
In Preferences -> General -> Web Browser, there is the option "Use internal web browser". Select "Use external web browser" instead and check "Firefox".
I don't know if this will help, but here's the SWT FAQ question How do I use Mozilla as the Browser's underlying renderer?
Edit: Having researched this further, it sounds like this isn't possible in Eclipse 3.4, but may be slated for a later release.
You can find out the option for changing browser in Window menu.
See image at below.
This image can be easy to understand.
I like the Aptana Browser Preview windo for this.
You can get it from their update site: http://download.aptana.org/tools/studio/plugin/update/studio/
After you install the Aptana plugin, open an Aptana project and there should be an option under help to install aptana features. under other you will find a Firefox/XUL browser. There may be a more direct way to install the XUL plugin, but the above procedure works.
Window-->Web Browser--> Firefox
