I have installed Apache Netbeans 9.0 recently in Mac running macOS Mojave. I am trying to change the Netbeans theme to "Dark Look And Feel Themes" but I can't find the options.
Previously, I have used the older versions (8.2, 8.1, 8.0.2) of Netbeans. To change the theme, I navigate to
Tools -> Plugins -> Available Plugins
Install the "Dark Look And Feel Themes" plugin and restart the IDE to reflect the change.
But, I don't find this plugin in the Apache Netbeans 9.0
I also checked whether these plugins are available to download from online. So that I can add them using 'Downloaded' option. But, they are only available for older versions.
http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/62424/darcula-laf-for-netbeans
http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/52624/netbeans-dark-theme
So, I am a bit stuck here. Any help will be much appreciated. There are few similar stack overflow questions raised earlier, but they all talk about the old version of Netbeans.

Based on a comment from #superbiji below, Darcula + Norway Today works fine with NetBeans 11.0.
Updated 2/7/19:
Note that the answer below applies only to NetBeans 9.0. The situation is a little different on NetBeans 10.0 where the Dark Look and Feel plugin (themes "Dark Metal" and "Dark Nimbus") also worked fine. See Projects, Files, Services, Navigator color background.
I tried to download then manually install those two plugins on NetBeans 9.0, but it didn't work for me:
Download the plugins as zip files, and unzip them.
Tools > Plugins > click the Downloaded tab > click Add Plugins...
The Add Plugins dialog opens, but it requires you to select a jar or nbm file, and no files of those types exist in the downloaded zip files.
However, there is an alternative approach that works for Darcula (but not for Dark Look And Feel Themes). It is a simple two step process:
Make the Darcula plugin available.
Automatically install the plugin, just as you would on NetBeans 8.2.
To make the plugin available:
Tools > Plugins > Settings tab > Click the Add button.
In the Update Center Customizer dialog that opens:
Enter some descriptive value in the Name field such as NetBeans 8.2 plugins
Enter http://plugins.netbeans.org/nbpluginportal/updates/8.2/catalog.xml.gz in the URL field.
Click OK to make the plugins associated with that URL available for installation.
Now click the Available Plugins tab. You should see a lot of new entries, including one for Darcula LAF for NetBeans:
Check that entry and click Install, just as you would on NetBeans 8.2.
NetBeans 9.0 should restart using the Darcula theme:
Notes:
I don't think this approach is formally supported by NetBeans or the plugin author, but it works fine.
To customize Darcula settings: Tools > Options > Appearance > click the Darcula Look and Feel tab.
To switch from Darcula to one of the built in NetBeans look and feel options: Tools > Options > Appearance > click the Look and Feel tab > select an entry from the Preferred look and feel drop list.
I can recommend you to check NetBeans Themes website. It allows you to design and download your own themes.
Twilight theme is a good example:

Our team is developing a custom toolchain. We want to build it in to Eclipse CDT. We don't want to see an excess element in a final product.
Is it possible to hide/disable/delete standard toolchains in C/C++ Project Wizard?
enter image description here
Previously, I hid a default Debug Configurations using org.eclipse.ui.activities extension point. This time it doesn't help we. I tried to remove CrossGCC plugin but a Unistall... button in Install Software is greyed out.
I use Eclipse Luna RCP (4.4.2) for plugin development.
I'm not very familiar with this part of CDT, but after doing a bit of code browsing, it seems like the extension points org.eclipse.cdt.core.templates and org.eclipse.cdt.core.templateAssociations may be relevant.
See how e.g. the current CDT code uses these extension points to associate a set of toolchains with a project template. If your plugins define their own project template(s), perhaps you could do something similar to control the list of associated toolchains?
If I use New -> Eclipse 4 Application Project, and look into my .product file, there's this
Right. So I know I'm using Eclipse 4.5.1 RCP for Windows x64, but if I configure my target platform so that it points to the Eclipse update sites, I still get the same result.
Mind you that there's no delta pack since 4.5.x! All platform-specific plugins should be in the target platform's update sites.
Am I not including the correct features in the target platform?

The plugin list used by this Wizard is out of date. For example the Mac OSX plugins shown as errors no longer exist and I think that applies to the others shown as errors as well.
The 'New > Eclipse 4 Application Project' wizard is being removed altogether in Eclipse 4.6 bug 473575
Instead of this wizard use 'New > Plug-in Development > Plug-in Project'. Check the 'This project will make contributions to the UI' option and 'Yes' for 'would you like to create a rich client application'. On the templates page choose 'Eclipse 4 RCP application'
I've found this question: Eclipse - How to pin editor tabs? and I've installed "Extended VS Presentation plugin for Eclipse", but it's not working.
How it should look (from http://andrei.gmxhome.de/skins/index.html):
How it actually looks on my Eclipse 4.4 (on Ubuntu):
As you can see, "Current presentation" setting is missing.
When I've installed this plugin (via eclipse), it was in "Eclipse 3.6 - 3.8 plugins", so maybe it's incompatible with 4.4 Luna? However, it was possible to install it, so it should work, right?
Also, if you know any plugin that would allow pinning tabs in eclipse, feel free to post your answer and describe it.
Support eclipse versions for this plugins:
Eclipse Versions:
Juno (4.2, 3.8), Previous to Juno (<=4.1)
This plugin NOT works(See this) in eclipse 3.x on Linux.(But here author says it support Linux platform. Contact author for more details)
This plugin NOT works in eclipse 4.x on any platform.
Please note, that the skin, tab actions and lists are available for Eclipse 3.x only! Eclipse 4.x is not supported.
That first Appearance dialog is how it looks in Eclipse 3.x. The appearance code was completely rewritten for Eclipse 4.x.
The fact the plugin installs may just mean the install is not careful enough about specifying the versions of Eclipse it supports.
You should try and contact the plugin author to see if it supports Eclipse Luna.
In my point of view, everything is fine.
As you can see in the images below, (Check bottom (console) ).
The above page is updated on 06-25-2014
But the screenshot in that page is taken on 06-02-2008 , (Check bottom (console) ).
The screenshot given in that page is a screenshot of very very old version. The plugin is updated, but the screenshot in the page is not yet updated.
The new plugin will work as shown in the image in the question

In Eclipse 4.4.0 there You'll find a pin symbol in the default toolbar of Eclipse on the right side. After clicking it, the Java Editor Tab symbol gets changed indicating this editor is pinned now. Unfortunatelly I could not find a corresponding entry in the popup menu. But it is easy to assign e.g. the keys Ctrl-P to "Pin Editor" in the key bindings of Eclipse. (Don't forget to unbind Ctr-P = Print).
In Eclipse Neon 4.6.0 Pin is not functioning.
I just added JBoss tools and I like a lot of what I get from it. However, I noticed that my .xhtml files are loading a /lot/ slower (on the order of several seconds) than before I installed JBoss tools. I'm willing to accept some slowdown (there's always overhead from using tooling sitting ontop of Eclipse) but this is a pretty long wait. I suspect it has to do with the visual editor that JBoss has added for .xhtml. I am using windows 64 bit and I can't use this editor. I've also tried following the advice at this link
http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/vpe/vpe-news-3.3.0.M2.html
and adding -Dorg.jboss.tools.vpe.loadxulrunner=false to the eclipse.ini but I didn't notice any speedups. I also uninstalled the plugin for the JBoss visual editor and didn't see any results. After uninstalling the plugin the visual/source, source, and preview tabs are still at the bottom of the .xhtml editor, so maybe I uninstalled the wrong one?
I'm using Eclipse for Java EE Juno service release 1 Build id: 20120920-0800. I have the CDI, dynamic web module, Java, javascript, JSF 2.1, JAX-RS 1.1 JBoss Maven Integration 1.0 and JPA 2.0 facets installed on this project.
It is hard to say what you just uninstalled.
If you want just uninstall visual editor you can do such thing:
Just install onece again Eclipse and when you install JBoss Tools just doesn't select visual editor
Try to unistall visual editor. I think (but I never tested it) you should remove from plugins and features directoris wich starts from org.jboss.tools.vpe
I don't know if there can be some problems with dependencies and so on - you should make backup of Eclipse directory before making any changes.
Maybe it will be sufficient just open the files with other editor:
You can just open single file using other editor, just click in Package explorer view on the file with right click and choose Open with... menu - then you can open the file with for example HTML editor:
You can change the default editor for all files by open Window->Preferences menu and find Find associations position. There should be *.xhtml extensions - choose it and change the default editor.
On upgrading from netbeans 6.9 to 7.0.1, my plugins are not visible in the plugins manager. But more importantly, I am not even able to install new plugins, or watch the avaialble plugins. No plugins are displayed in the list as suggestions. However all my proxy settings are configured correctly & also netbeans is able to connect to internet & download maven stuff.
I tried to manually import the settings of 6.9 into 7.0.1 but no effect. How can I again make it work ?
Netbeans 7 hides most plugins by default.
From Tools (Menu) -> Plugins (Menu) -> Installed (Tab), check the box that says Show details and you should see all of the plugins you have installed.
Under the Settings tab in the same dialog, make sure you have the following Update Centers installed:
Certified Plugins - http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/7.0.1/uc/final/certified/catalog.xml.gz
NetBeans Distribution - http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/7.0.1/uc/final/distribution/catalog.xml.gz
Plugin Portal - http://plugins.netbeans.org/nbpluginportal/updates/7.0/catalog.xml.gz
..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.
I am using Netbeans IDE 7.0.1 on Ubuntu 12.10
My answer is essentially the same as cbednarski, but I noticed there was a slight difference: there was not a Show Details box to check under the Installed (Tab).
From Tools (Menu) -> Plugins (Menu) -> Settings (Tab)
Make sure you have the following Update Centers installed:
