This isn’t much of a big problem just a nuisance.
So when ever I open and or close eclipse/IntelliJ application on my Mac, this icon shows up saying “the git command requires the command line developers tool. Would you like to install?”.
This icon shows up when ever I do anything relating to java programming (opening/ closing IDE, creating a new class, sometimes when configuring main class, opening a new project). I always press “cancel” instead of “install” when the icon appears.
Upgrade your Eclipse to 2020-09 (4.17) or at least EGit to 5.9.
Eclipse does not require to have the command line Git to be installed, but calls the git command to check whether the command line Git is installed (and if it's installed, how it is configured). A change that came with a macOS update redirects the git command causing this dialog to pop up. For details see Eclipse bug 564372.
For IntelliJ see JetBrains' bug tracker, e.g. here.

When working in Eclipse and hitting Ctrl+F with lines of code selected, the default behavior I expect is for the Find/Replace dialogue to open with the "Selected lines" option and, perhaps, either buffer contents or a previous search query in the "Find" prompt. On my home machine, what happens instead is the entire selection gets automatically copied to the "Find" prompt and Scope is reset to "All" instead of "Selected lines" every time.
I somehow do have this working by default on my work machine: "Selected Lines" scope option is chosen automatically when more than one line is selected in the editor.
Possibly unrelated: I do have CDT installed and I work mostly with C++ in Eclipse. Home machine is running Ubuntu 18.10, work machine is running Ubuntu 18.04.
I tried:
Re-downloading Eclipse, reinstalling CDT & cmake4eclipse
Changing to a new Workspace in Eclipse (without copying settings)
Searching high and low online for recipes on how to control this.
How do I change the IDE at home to the desired "Selected Lines" behavior?
[Edit 1 hour later]: I am now almost convinced the issue has to do with the Ubuntu version somehow. I'm running 18.04 on my Laptop (same as my work computer) and I just upgraded CDT & Eclipse Platform to latest stable versions (9.7 and 4.11/2019-03, respectively), which I have everywhere else. The new "wrong" behavior didn't appear. I will also start a thread on the Eclipse forums or perhaps even open a bug report. I don't want to reinstall the whole system or downgrade it (slim chance of success) just to get this back; if it's an Eclipse bug, I'd rather work on fixing it.
[Edit 2 days later] The bug did not manifest on a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.10. I still have no idea what was different on the 'culprit' machine. I ended up wiping the drive and reinstalling 18.04 on the same machine and the problem went away.
When running a file despite having a compiler error, I accidently marked the checkbox "Always run without asking". I regret this and would like NetBeans to ask me again before running a Java file that has compiler errors.
How can I do this? This should be simple but I cannot find any way...
As I can see from NetBeans bugzilla, this defect was left without reply: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186776. For example, on my Windows 10 operating system I can manipulate this property using the C:\Users\<userName>\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.0.1\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules\java\source\BuildArtifactMapperImpl.properties file, having now in it askBeforeRunWithErrors=true.
I start using vscode less than a month. Please forgive me if this is a dump question.
OS: OS X 10.11.3
VSCode: 0.10.6
Plugin: VSCode-PHP-Format (download via git clone)
Extension path: ~/.vscode/extensions/VSCode-PHP-Format
I restarted VSCode, open php files, but do not see "Format Code" on the right click menu.
Any idea how to debug this? Right now I don't even know if the plugin load correctly.
With tips from Tobiah Zarlez, I found the "Toggle Developer Tools" in VSCode.
It is shown in the console the plugin cannot find js-beautify.
Solution
Inside ~/.vscode/extensions/VSCode-PHP-Format, run
npm install
It will pull in js-beautify. Then restart VSCode.
I am on my phone and not able to double check to see if it is there, but I'd recommend installing from the visual studio marketplace to insure the plug in is installed correctly. You can do so by hitting CTRL+SHIFT+P and typing "install extension"
Beyond that, a quick glance at the code the plug in should be activated when you open a php file... but since this is a third party plugin, I can't speak to if it actually works or not.
(Again, on phone so can't test)
What you could do is modify the extension.js file to add a "console.log ("hello world")" to the activate function. Them check the log to see if the plug in is installed correctly.
I saw you weren't the only person to complain about the plug in not working though. If I were you, I would continue to try and contact the creator
I have some problems with eclipse indigo x64 Linux; The problem is using windowbuilder (the SWT); I tried using gwt or swing but they both cause either windowbuilder freeze or even eclipse crash...
The alike issue it seems I found related info in official eclipse indigo offline Help which says :
How can I prevent the preview window from flashing under Linux using Metacity
In order to create the graphics that you see in the design view,
WindowBuilder Pro creates an off screen window containing the various
widgets and they takes a screen snapshot of them. This works very well
under Windows, OSX and some versions of Linux. Recent versions of the
Metacity window manager (more recent than 2.1.4), however, have been
modified/"fixed" to disallow windows to be opened off screen. This
forces the preview window to appear on screen leading to an annoying
flashing effect any time you make a change. The solution is to disable
the Metacity "fully_onscreen" constraint by patching the Metacity
source code and rebuilding and installing the patched version into
your system.
Here are the steps to follow:
Download the Metacity source code from ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/metacity/
Unpack the source code tarball into any temporary directory.
Chdir into this directory (with the unpacked code).
Find window.c file and open it with your favourite texteditor.
Find a line with "window->require_fully_onscreen = TRUE;"
Replace it with "window->require_fully_onscreen = FALSE;"
Save the changes and close the editor.
Open a terminal and chdir into the directory with the source code (nice if you have already done this)
Run "./configure".
Run "make all".
Make sure that steps 9 & 10 completed without errors.
Become root (or execute the next command via "sudo" depending on the Linux you are running)
Run "make install" (or "sudo make install").
Save your work and close any application you are working with.
End your session (or press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to restart the x-server) and log in again.
You are done!
well seems like I have the snapshot really but, as I can get it, the snapshot doesn't want to dispose or similar so I have either resize the whole eclipse or press F5 to refresh (which works not at once);
I am not sure how to fix the issue in case I have xfce+adwaita installed? I don't have metacity installed; Seems like xfce works with gtk instead of metacity (correct me if I am wrong);
So my question is... how to fix the "window flashing or freezing" if I have :
xfce4
adwaita-dark theme
linux arch x64ce
Thanks
Try to install install libswt-gtk-3-jni and libswt-gtk-3-java.
I am on OS X 10.8.2 and Eclipse Juno; Copy/Paste/Cut suddenly broke. No response inside Eclipse.
Maybe a rogue plug-in (?) but that doesn't matter, can I just reset the values?
Which combination should I bind to COMMAND+{C,V,X}?
Paste from the clipboard in "Editing Text"
Paste from the clipboard in "Dialogs and Windows"
Paste from the clipboard in "Windows"
Other?
If you know how to do this in a preferences file, even better, I use keyConfigurationId="org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration" but I don't know how to choose these parameters for the keyBinding rule in
org.eclipse.ui.workbench/org.eclipse.ui.commands:
contextId
commandId
In my installation, those commands are set to in "Dialogs and Windows". You should be able to also get that automatically by hitting the "Restore Command" button after selecting one of those commands. Or in very hard cases, use "Restore Defaults" in the bottom right corner to recreate all key bindings.
If you use the Android Development tools, please upgrade to the latest version, as a copy-paste-issue was fixed in ADT 20.0.2, which occurred for many Eclipse Juno users.
That all said, you really should upgrade to SR1, as that is a bugfix release, no feature release. So chances are very high it fixes more problems than it introduces.
