Problems creating a project with CodenameOne in Netbeans - netbeans

Install Netbeans 12.6 on a Windows 10 machine. I was able to install the CodenameOne plugin with no problem. When creating a project I get the following error message:
Cannot invoke "org.openide.filesystems.FileObject.getFileObject(String)" because "folder" is null
I've been surfing the internet and can't find a way to fix it.
Thank you for your support.

This approach is no longer supported. The plugin is only used for legacy applications and no longer works in newer IDEs due to breaking changes in almost all IDEs.
Starting with Codename One 7.x we moved to maven projects which don't require the plugin and can be created in https://start.codenameone.com/

I have followed the instructions in the manual and it mentions as important:
"Before opening the project in NetBeans, you need to copy the contents of the tools/netbeans directory into the root project directory. These files are required by NetBeans to build, run, and debug the project correctly. "
But I can't find this folder in netbeans version 12.6.

Eclipse Java IDE restore

I was developing a plugin, using Eclipse IDE for java developers (Version: 2021-09 (4.21.0)
Build id: 20210910-1417)
During development, when I run it as an eclipse application, it opens a runtime-Eclipse application where the plug-in is present. In my setup this new runtime-eclips app opened from a folder next to the workspace, where C codes were present. (and my progrem would get the tests run in C , and get the results from it's exe)
Then I downloaded the Eclipse IDE for committers, which is a newer version. I downloaded it as a zip and after unpacking I run the eclipse.exe. My program had problems opening the runtime-Eclipse application in C there, so i went back to the older one which is installed on my computer.
After opening the original eclipse, on which I was working and had no problems, I was hoping everything will be fine. It opens the IDE for java developers (same version, same build) but I have the same problems with the runtime-eclipse application as the one I run as an eclipse.exe , (not recognising the C code?? I don't understand).
When i try to run the plug-in I get this error.
And when the runtime-app opens i get this error.
I cannot create C projects anymore on the runtime-app. I don't know the reason behind this.
Also I have billion of these
["java.net.UnknownHostException: downdload.eclipse.ort"]
[" org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core.ProvisionException: Unknown Host: http://downdload.eclipse.ort/eclipse/updates/4.2/content.xml "]
Thank you in advance!
I don't know if it is possible or not, since seemingly it did not update the older eclipse IDE. If it can be restored the way it was before i run the eclipse.exe, I would be happy.
eclipse.ort is obviously a typo, it should be eclipse.org, I don't know where it is coming from - but its possible you enter it yourself as update site
the runtime error means eclipse cannot resolve all dependencies, which means it could not load bunch of plugins including yours, you need to figure out why on your own, its not possible to debug this remotely, its best to start from the scratch in the new workspace
The solution was easier than expected. The run configuration was modified by the other eclipse version. It was not launched with every plugin. only a selected handful

Netbeans 8.1, Angular 2: Cannot find module 'angular2/core', base project created with Angular-CLI

Since Netbeans is used as my primary editor, and the project is built with angular-cli, this is a cosmetic issue, the project builds and deploys fine using ng serve -o, this is just an annoyance as I like my Netbeans to flag errors in files that actually have errors.
This is a Netbeans specific question, there are many "Cannot find module 'angular2/core'" questions but each requires different IDE configuration (VS, Webstorm, etc) I have not found one that addressed this issue in Netbeans.
To recreate the issue:
(using angular-cli)
ng new example-of-problem
Then opening example-of-problem in Netbeans:
As you can see from the above, a number of files have errors. All of which are resolving paths starting with '#angular' you can see it can resolve local paths fine (./app.component).
Some solutions request adding: "moduleResuolution":"node" to tsconfig.json however this is a standard angular-cli build and that line is of course present.
Versions of software:
Netbeans 8.1, Node 7.7.4, #angular/cli 1.0.0
The solution is to simply upgrade to netbeans 8.2. The typescript support has been fixed and the lines which are flagged above are no longer flagged.
Netbeans should automatically install the TypeScript Editor plugin, and as a matter of convenience install the netbeans-angular2-code-templates plugin.

I cannot install eclipse jaxb builder plugin

I am currently working with a product that is built onto Eclipse version 3.4.2.
I am trying to install the jaxb builder plugin, but it is not working.
So far I have tried:
Unzipping the folder into the Eclipse plugins folder and then restarting Eclipse
The restarting Eclipse using the -clean flag
Unzipping the folder into the product's (built onto Eclipse) plugin folder and then restarting with and without -clean
Unzipping the folder into the dropins folder and then restarting Eclipse
I think that it may be possible that this version of jaxb builder doesn't support my version of Eclipse, but I can't figure out how to find that information. I tried emailing the address on the "Contact Us" page, but it came right back to me.
Is it possible that the product has been discontinued? How can I find out?
Discontinued? I don't know but the last build is from 2011-05. It's built against Eclipse 3.4 (see plugin.xml). What do you mean be "not working"? Exceptions? Entries in Eclipse error log/view?
Turns out it was the application's fault. I'm not exactly sure what the problem was, but when I did the exact same thing in a regular Eclipse environment, it came up with no issues.
I will edit if I get more information.

Platform-specific dependency creeping into Eclipse plugin

I have implemented a graph editor with Eclipse EMF and GMF frameworks. After completing my project, I realized that this plugin shows dependencies (not explicitly added by me) on some OS-specific plugins.i.e:org.eclipse.ui.win32, org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86. And whenever I have tried to bypass this dependency at my update site something went wrong with the installation process of the plugin.
As such it is impossible to run my plugin in *nix environment or even win64 machines.This seems a very heavy constraint dependency to me. Am I doing something in a wrong way? Or is there no other way of building Eclipse plugins which are cross-platform other than building the project from scratch at each different OSs?
We created a similar style of plug-in in my project. Under "Plug-in Dependencies" in Package Explorer I can see org.eclipse.swt.win32 listed, but it is not listed in required plug-ins in plugin.xml.
We also successfully created an update site which works for Mac users without issue.
So, yes it is possible to have a cross-platform plug-in.
I would suggest you first try to to use "Export..." -> "Deployable plug-ins and fragments" to create a bunch of jar files for your plug-in. See if these can be successfully installed by copying into the drop-ins folder of a fresh eclipse installation. Do this first on a Win32 install, then try on another platform. Once you have that working, use the new Eclipse installation to create the Update site.

Failure creating clojure project in Netbeans

I decided to take a look at Clojure and thought the best and easiest method for me would be to use Netbeans with the Enclojure plugin as I didn't want to have to learn Emacs at the same time. I installed Netbeans 6.9.1 together with the latest JDK using the bundled install (on Windows 7). All went smoothly. I then followed the instructions at http://www.enclojure.org/gettingstarted for installing the enclojure plugin.
When creating a new Clojure application I get the following and see no project files :
java.io.IOException: Could not connect to URL nbresloc:/org/enclojure/ide/templates/project/ClojureProjectTemplate-1.1-distribution.zip. No such resource was found.
Maven is working using mvn --version
I have installed on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 (same result).
I have looked on the Enclojure forum and there is a recent open thread for this issue, but it is not solved by anybody presently.
I have Java SE enabled in Netbeans
I have tried enabling the different platform versions of Clojure, 1.0.0, 1.1.0, etc..
The REPL seems to be working happily in Netbeans : (printf "hello") hellonill
I did try ClojureBox on Windows 7, but again that's Emacs, but emacs failed to start the server and hung there and became totally unresponsive.
I come from a .Net background (not Java) so my knowledge of the Java environment is somewhat lacking. My reason for looking at Clojure and not Java.
I am new to Netbeans
If you're interested in a working Maven pom, here is one I've used with Enclojure successfully:
http://puredanger.com/techfiles/100624/pom.xml
There are some project settings you'll need to change and a few dependencies to remove but it might be a good start. In general, I usually create the pom first and then just import the project into NetBeans rather than using the NetBeans options to create projects.
By the way, the REPL work in Enclojure has been split and is coming soon to the Eclipse plugin Counterclockwise.
I had written a small post on it on my blog.
Anyways here is the procedure:
On searching realized that this is a common problem for installing it on > Netbeans 7.. But with some manual tweeks managed to install it. Here are the instructions to install on Netbeans 7. plus:
Install Netbeans 7. You need only the Java SE version.
First Run of Netbeans after installation. Activate feature Java SE
Activate features is on the Start page or from Tools,->Plugins>Installed, click ‘Activate next to the Java SE support
Install Maven: It is HIGHLY recommended that you install maven: http://maven.apache.org/download.html
Go to the Netbeans->Preferences, click on the Miscellaneous tab and make sure the External Maven Home path is pointed to your maven install
Download the EnClojure 1.5 version from here. If you want to manually build, you can do that by following the instructions from here.
After downloading the file, In Netbeans: Goto:- Tools ->Plugins->Downloaded->Add Plugins->Downloaded
Then browse to the downloaded file. Later install by clicking at the “install : button.
Restart and you are on the go.
Visit here to build and run hello world project.Basically building the EnClojure 1.5 manually is the tough job. I hope above was useful.
