I'm using IDA pro 7.5 and I want to activate a plugin that I put in the plugins dir. in every tutorial I saw, I need to go to Edit -> Plugins and use the plugin but there is no Plugins menu in Edit.
Thanks in advance for any help.
You should check the output window when you start IDA, if the plugin is not loaded, it will display the error. If the author added some print statements you will see them too.
You can also start IDA with -z20 for plugin debug (see idat -h).

I've downloaded and installed yari but I cannot figure out how to use it. Everything I see is another menu item "YARI" with a couple of subitems but they all are pretty unclear. I haven't found any tutorial or documentation on this subject.
What I expect: some window which will automatically appear at a start and contain information about GUI of my application
What I get: nothing.
The documentation for the yari project is hosted on SourceForge:
https://sourceforge.net/p/yari/doc/Home/
On the "General" documentation page is an introduction to the yari toolsuite:
https://sourceforge.net/p/yari/doc/HowToGeneral/
To get access to the yari features you have to open the "Show view" dialog in your Eclipse and select there the yari tool you need (placed in the yari group). The main menu entries offer other yari-stuff.
I recently updated Netbeans to 7.4 version and I actually get plenty of "errors": all the code included in short php tag is not parsed and considered almost like comment (I guess).
Does anyone knows how to fix that?
thanks
Ctrl-1 to open your Project window
Right-click on your project and click on Properties
Enable Allow short tags (<?)
Press Ok
Maybe you want to uncheck this option.
Option >> Editor >> Uncheck Giving Space After Short Php Tag

Eclipse allows multiple source windows (obviously) and even multiple console windows to be open at the same time.
I'm looking to see if there is a way to open multiple Variable windows at a time. While debugging I sometimes want to visually compare several structures and this would be easier if I could open each object in its own Variable window.
Thanks.
Yes, in the upper right hand corner of the Variables window, there should be a button 'Open New View'.
EDIT: I'm not sure if this is necessarily the best way to get what you want, but it worked for me. I just downloaded a fresh Kepler install, and you can get the "Open New View" button by installing the C/C++ Development Tools. To install go to Help > Install New Software.
Note: I had to clean my workspace after installing because I was getting "Editor does not contain a main type errors". But after that everything worked fine and the button was available.
Hope this helps!
What are the meanings of the icons displayed in the Netbeans IDE navigator? Is there a legend posted somewhere online? I did google before asking, thank you.
Here's a screenshot:
Open the online help (Help -> Help Contents)
Click on the "Search" tab
Type "icon"
Hit enter
The first topic in the result ("Java File and Object Node Icons") lists all icons used in the IDE
Here is a screenshot of the online help:
Maybe this help is not available in your edition as you seem to be using PHP (which you could have told us from the beginning)
Oracle has put the NetBeans help online, so the icons can be viewed here as well: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E50453_01/doc.80/e50452/work_java_code.htm#r1c1-t5
This is my first attempt at an Eclipse plugin- the plugin architecture is vast and a little overwhelming, but I've found a number of tutorials and how-to's online which is helping, but trying to do the following is driving me nuts:
I want to add a submenu item that is available in the navigator context menu when you right click on an Eclipse project.
I can get a submenu to appear on a project file or folder, but absolutely no idea how to have it appear on a project.
Would someone be so kind as to provide me with step by step instructions, starting with creating a new plugin-project? This is probably a lot to ask, but I can't seem to find an online guide that has just the right amount of detail. I specifically want to use the plugin-project wizard rather than hand code a plugin.xml file as I am not very familiar with the Eclipse plugin architecture.
Ok- I got it- it was simple, but I got lost in the noise of the API-
Create a new Plug-in Project using the Plugin-Project Wizard and when the wizard has launched...
1.
On the Plug-in Project page, use anything as the project name and 3.5 as target platform eclipse version
2.
On the Content page, skip ahead and just press next
3.
On the Templates page, select "plug-in with a popup menu" and press next
4.
On the Sample Popup Menu page, you will see that eclipse has prefilled the field
"Target Object's Class" with a value of "org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile".
This means that when your popup menu will only appear when you right-click on a file in
a project. As we want the menu to appear when we right click on a Project when
we are using the Navigator view, simply use "org.eclipse.core.resources.IProject" instead
5.
Finish
You can validate that your pop-up will appear as expected by right-clicking the MF file
and "Run-as" > Eclipse Application
Now to refactor the resulting code to use menuContributions and commands rather than objectContributions and actions :)
I think you have a similar question (menu in the package explorer) here:
Renaming packages in Eclipse (thanks to Rich Seller)
This could be a good start, and is a complete plugin project.
You should look into the Eclipse Common Navigator Framework there are a few tutorials on this side that tell you what to do in detail The Project Explorer is an implementation of the CNF. You should also consider using the Platform Commands to add your commands (and popup menu item) to the popup menu associated with the project explorer. It's somewhat easier to use commands than actions. You should be able to do it with by adding a Command in your plugin extensions. Unfortunately off the top of my head I don't know the right incantation to have the command appear in the project explorer. But you will be able to find it in these resources.
