So I'm on vscode with the extension Project Manager for Java but i can only occasionally see the java projects window on the side bar. I check the three dots, nothing. Open view, nothing. The extension is on and enabled. I would show images, but the photos I took apparently take too much space. I can't figure out a difinitive way to restart vscode or the extension, just closing/disabling and opening/enabling
Ok, so turns out you have to open a java file. THEN it opens all the java extensions. That's really dumb and I hope they change that at some point.

For some reason, Netbeans IDE 8.2 won't apply any different themes than the original one. Has anyone else had an issue with this? I have applied the new theme and restarted the application many times without success. Thank you.
It's very hard to identify what is wrong since everything in your screenshot looks perfect, and Sublime-Theme works for me using NetBeans 8.2 on Windows 10. See the file with the tab NewServlet.java in the screen shot below.
Note that using Sublime-Theme does not impact everything. For example, the Projects and Navigator panels don't change. Since your screen shot only showed the Options window, and the Start Page doesn't change in the editor either, are you absolutely certain that none of your files in the editor are using Sublime-Theme?
Also, you say that "Netbeans IDE 8.2 won't apply any different themes than the original one", but NetBeans comes bundled with several themes, such as NetBeans and NetBeans 5.5 as shown in the screen shot below. How many options are shown in the profile drop list for you? If you select a different theme from the Profile list and click Apply the rendering of your files in the editor should change immediately. Is that happening?
If so, the problem is probably confined to the installation of Sublime-Theme. Try deleting Sublime-Theme (the button is in the top right corner of your screen shot), and then import the zip file again to see if that fixes the problem. Also, verify that the Sublime-Theme zip file you downloaded can be manually unzipped since it might be a corrupt file.
Another thing to try is using some alternative plugins. Select Tools -> Plugins -> Available Plugins and then install Dark Look and Feel Themes and Darcula LAF for NetBeans. If those don't work either then there is something fundamentally wrong with the installation of NetBeans.
Finally, this article titled The complete guide to tuning the appearance of NetBeans may be helpful.
In Eclipse the console is embedded within the interface, but in Visual Studio it pops up whenever the code is compiled. Is there anyway to make this happen in Eclipse as well?
Short Answer No!
Long answer, you can try to change the behavior a bit. As those two are totally different Tools behavior is also different.
Change the settings of console at:
Window->Preferences->Run/Debug->Console
And open/close console or other views from Window->Show View
I've got a small homework project, and for whatever reason Eclipse has decided to stop highlighting syntax or allowing intellisense or goto definitions or anything in this Main.java file. I've tried rebooting it, and the computer, but had no luck.
The thing that really has me confused is that it's still compiling and running the code correctly (eg, changes I make in Main.java are compiled and run - it's not running old Main.class files), so it's still in the build path ... right?
Any ideas?
Right click on the file in the Package Explorer and choose the Open With menu. You will probably find that Text Editor is selected, choose Java Editor to open the file with the correct editor.
The Open With menu selection is remembered so you should get the Java Editor in future, but equally if you choose the plain text editor that is also remembered.
I suggest finding a way to reset any setting you might have set by accident. Not saying that you did it. But just to make sure, just try it out. If you customized the preferences already, you could make some kind of note of the settings, then change it. If that doesn't work, let me know. Good Luck!
Copy the text somewhere, delete the file, and then add a new class (of the same name) and paste the text back.
In Eclipse Indigo (I'm on 3.7.2), is it possible to move the editor tabs from the top of the editor pane to the side of the editor pane, creating a vertical stack of tabs? This would allow many more tabs to be seen at once. Given my widescreen display and the large number of active files I am switching between this would be a useful configuration. I cannot find a setting or a plugin that will do so.
Not possible yet. See here and here
I got fed up with not being able to do this and wrote an eclipse plugin. You can find it in the marketplace at: https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/open-editors
Here is a screenshot
I do not know of a plugin which would allow one to do this.
This (
In Eclipse, can I view the files I currently have open in a vertical stack instead of a horizontal one?) confirms the same unfortunately.
I just searched a bit. I can see a lot of talk about having multi-line tabs, but vertical tabs don't seem to come up a lot.
The Open-Editors plugin has issue
Works well on Windows10 + Eclipse 4.8 + OpenJDK11. 100%
Have just tested. Dont forget to link your Eclipse to JDK-11

I often end up with lots of empty panes in Eclipse that can only be minimized but not destroyed. How do I close these?
Update:
In this screenshot you can see two minimized on the upper left and several on the right hand side. In the center are four more. They only seem to be restorable in the Debug mode.

this happened to me, too. What worked for me (based on FilmJ and douncon's comments) was to open a class file, then drag that tab over the top of the empty pane.
Select Window -> Reset Perspective. That should reset the current perspective (what you call "mode") to its' initial state, (hopefully) closing all irrelevant views.
Something seems terribly wrong with your Eclipse. Maybe you should reinstall it. It is possible that you installed a buggy plugin.
First of all, what do you mean by pane? Eclipse has:
Windows (Eclipse itself, e.g. instance)
Documents (tabs)
Views (properties, tasks, explorer, etc)
If by 'pane' you mean document editors, you have problems either with your Eclipse version or most likely one of the installed plugins.
Each View also can be closed (except maybe some project types (perspectives) of which I'm not aware). For CDT (C/C++) you can close practically everything.
I'll recommend you download latest Eclipse version with no plugins, extract it to different folder, and check if that happens again. If yes, please explain more in details (like Eclipse version, perspective you are using, any side plugins, etc).
Also a good places are Eclipse community forum, mailing list and bugz :-)
I had the same problem. For me it helped to go into the right perspective and activate the functionality that caused the window in the first place. Once I reactivated the functionality, in my case "QNX Memory Analysis perspective", I was able to close all the windows one by one.
The conclusion is you have to refill the empty windows with content and then you will be able to close them properly.
So, it's really very easy for this to happen, if you open an editor that's incompatible with the existing editor, you can often end up having to place it outside of the tab list in one of your editor panes, then you might clear or copy that, typically while trying to add that view to a tab list.
In any case, what it's done is create a new editor, and all you need to do is drag some file to that empty editor window giving it some form of context, then close it.
I had the same issue. I followed #zvikico, but instead of just resetting, I first reset and then closed all the perspectives. Please follow the following to fix the problem. It worked for me:
Window -> Perspective -> Reset perspective..
After resetting follow below:
Window -> Perspective -> Close All Perspectives
