The files in Navigator and editor tabs keeps disappearing in eclipse workbench.
Eclipse seems to be not interested in fixing the
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=458015
due to the fight between titans, does anyone know the root cause and a patch. Also, directions to build the appropriate plugin jar would be appreciated.
It is also affecting the git staging view so, it should be common problem.
Reference:
Eclipse 4.3 - kepler is working very well with good performance, this bug is introduced from 4.4.
Here is the plugin versions and download link
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/Kepler/SR2
https://projects.eclipse.org/releases/kepler
SourceLink: https://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/
EDIT: Steps to reproduce
Get any version of Eclipse-Windows-64-bit (i used J2ee) from Luna to Oxygen(latest)
create a git project and add multiple files(any files).
You should see these files in git-staging.
Double-click on any file.
You should see only 1 file visible and others will be invisible.
Steps for Editor tabs disappearing
Open multiple files.
Move your mouse over the editor tabs.
You should see tabs disappearing.
ProjectExplorer has a weird issue (Same file shows up twice).

I have loaded up netbeans, and all it is showing me is the history tab when i go to edit my code for my projects. I went on to view >> editors, but the only editor that was there was the History. How do i get the Source tab back?!
For me, similar issue, after fresh installation, was resolved by closing the running Netbeans IDE instance, then renaming the existing Netbeans folder found inside the C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\ on Windows 7.

The subfolder myproject/wp-content has dissapeared from the project explorer (of course the files are still there, I can see them on windows explorer).
All the other folders and files are still showing up.
I tried deleting the project files (.settings .buildpath .project) and deleting the project on eclipse and also deleting the index on .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.dltk.core.index.sql.h2
What else can I do?

[EDIT] I forgot to mention I've also tried to rebuild the project with the same results, and I've also checked explorer view filters in case something weird had happened but there are no filters set.
[EDIT 2] I deleted the Eclipse project files and the whole .metadata folder on the workspace and recreated the project. I had no problem at first, but it has happened again. I haven't touch any settings, just closed and reopened the project.
[EDIT 3] The less invasive fix by now seems to be a combination of deleting h2 database (.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.dltk.core.index.sql.h2 workspace folder) and deleting also the project without deleting its files which doesn't delete .build or .settings or .buildpath either, so it can be recreated without much hussle. I can avoid the problem by not closing the project (I can still close Eclipse without loosing the folder), but I still don't know what's causing it.
[EDIT 4] I updated Eclipse and plugins today to their latest versions (Now runnning Kepler 4.3.2) and the problem persists (even if I delete org.eclipse.dltk.core.index.sql.h2 and .settings, .buildpath, .project before importing the project's folder contents as a new project): I just close the project after eclipse finishes indexing it and when I reopen it wp-content doesn't show up any more (unless I force reindexing by deleting org.eclipse.dltk.core.index.sql.h2 again). I do believe this is WordPress related, since it only happens when indexing this particular WordPress deployment (maybe it's one of the plugins/theme files installed inside wp-content or something related to one of the xml files in the root folder, like sitemap.xml?).
For me this happened multiple times, on different project and different folders. Opening+closing or refreshing the project yield no success.
In my case, I have found out that this is related to the Working sets. It seems by default new subfolders and files of a project are not marked belonging to the set, so the project has a mix of old folders (included) and new folders (excluded).
There are two fixes I am aware of:
disable the working sets
Moreover, on large projects, having this mixed state working set made opening the folder structure (and other operations) very slow (3-5 seconds per level). Turning off the working set filter made it instantaneous.
edit the active working set and check the project's checkbox (which will check all subfolders).
This happens to me all the time. I'm on OSX and my projects are accessed from a mounted samba volume. I've found that if I:
open the project in eclipse
eject the samba volume
refresh the project (it will say it cant find it and ask if you want to delete
it... click no)
remount the samba volume
refresh the eclipse project
And the missing files/folders show up. If your folders are local, maybe just moving the project folder would do the same. Unfortunately, this happens very often, and seemingly more often for wordpress projects for some reason.
I'm working with a UI project (Dynamic Web Project) and my web folder keeps dissapearing too. I didn't knew what causes that.
The only thing I knew was how to reset my projet; deleting it from workpsace and reimporting it.
I know now what causes that but I have no answer on why it actually does it. I keep refreshing my workspace because I have some compressing that is done outside eclipse and for my workspace to update them I need to refresh... somehow, the freaking Close Project option is right under the Refresh option, without prompting... and this is when my folder dissapear; when I reopen it.
Try the Import Existing Project would be my guess!
Maybe that can help you find the how of it !
Hi i solve this problem by unchecking "Group by Namespaces" in the little triangle on the top-right of the php explorer.
Issue:
My app directory in my cake php application became invisible after some time. This is bad since all of my non-cakephp framework files reside therein!
My environment:
Macosx
Eclipse Kepler
WebServer: built in macosx in Library/WebServer/Documents which is symlinked to a dir in my home directory.
PHP plugin
What I tried first:
Deleted old project from UI ( retaining files on the file system )
cd'ed to root project directory and deleted eclipse artifacts like .settings, .project, etc
Recreated php project to find that the app directory is still missing!
What worked for me:
I renamed the directory from app to app_back using the terminal/linux command rn.
Eclipse immediate saw the new dir after a clean rebuild.
I renamed the dir back to app and performed another clean rebuild.
Et Voila
It seems that by upgrading Eclipse to last version (Luna), removing the project files (.settings, .classpath and .project) and creating a new project on a new workspace, I can close and reopen the project without having the folder missing from the project explorer.
It's not the solution I wanted (and don't need any more) but it's also a solution, so I'm posting it :-)
I am having problems when editing template-files(HTML-files) in my Maven-project. I have made the Maven-project an Eclipse-project with the command "mvn eclipse:eclipse" (if it matters). I am using the Apache Velocity Engine as template engine for this project.
The problem arises when I'm editing the files in Sublime, and then save the file and refresh the browser. The changes does not show! If I however open the template file in Eclipse, just open it, I can even just open and close it right away, and THEN refresh the browser, the changes will show.
I have done a test to see if this problem occurs on other simple projects as well, and with a single HTML-file and a simple http-server, the work I save in Sublime shows as normal.
Does anybody know what is happening here? Am I bound to keep on using Eclipse as a HTML-editor? :( Does the Eclipse project files prevent me from using other editors? Why are the changes only showing when I open the files in Eclipse?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
In order for the changes to take place you have to right-click the file in Eclipse explorer tab and choose "refresh" in order for the (static) changes to be reloaded to Apache. For dynamic changes you'll need to restart apache or use a plugin such as JRebel.
Eclipse copies the files to the "target"-folder in the webapp. Sublime(and others) does not do this automatically, so you need to do this manually, or by a plug-in that will copy the files on save.
I am running Windows XP and Eclipse 4.2.2 Build id: M20130204-1200 and I have lost my Debug and Launch tool bars. I have tried Windows>Reset Perspective (original values) and Window>Customize Perspective's (Tool Bar Visibility and Command Groups Availability) tab options. I have tried the Layout option on Debug view. All failed to bring them back. Right now, I am looking at Tool Bar Visibility tab and a message that says: <"Debug" cannot be made available because it is in the unavailable "null" command group.> However, the Debug checkbox in Command Group Availability is checked.
I have also tried right-click and Reset on the perspective buttons.
Switching to another eclipse installation (same machine) did not help either.
Rebooting does not help.
Are there any text configuration files where this data is stored that can be manipulated outside eclipse?
I had this problem in Eclipse Kepler, it turns out it was caused by PyDev plugin. I fixed it by uninstalling the plugin and right-clicking on the Debug perspective button and selecting Reset.
I had already installed a fresh copy and the problems persisted. But, encouraged by user714965 comments, I tried again but that did not resolve the issue. Then, I threw away all eclipse installation folders (to recycle bin), re-installed fresh copy, and the problem persisted. Then I started a new workspace, and it seemed like the tool bars were back. Then restored previous eclipse installations and they had the Debug toolbar as well!
I am thinking somehow the customization config files were broken. It would be nice to know where the these files are stored (my original question): Are they global for each user on the machine or are they workspace specific? It seems to me that some customizations are global, while others are project specific.
May be it is time to try the new Android Studio :-)
Seems as your eclipse is broken. The fastest way to get it back running will be downloading a fresh copy from eclipse.org. You can continue using your current workspace so your settings will remain. But you have to re-install all plug-ins... I'm always keeping a backup of a fresh release with the plug-ins I'm using. I would suggest you to do the same in the future.
I have a plugin in which I have created a perspective. Now I changed the name of the perspective in plugin.xml. It is working fine if I am running from sources. The name of the perspective still the older one when I export the plugin. I am using eclipse juno 4.2
I am completely lost no clue whatsoever. I checked the plugin.xml file in the exported plugin it is having the new name. What is the mistake I am making???
My problem was adding perspectives and views using the plugin.XML, changes didn't take effect because when running plugin projects in development environment eclipse creates a "runtime-(pluginProjectName).application" folder in the parent of the workspace directory.
If you delete this folder eclipse should run with the new changes made to Views and Perspectives structure.
Best of luck.
http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t61566.html This link helped me in solving it. I should have searched in this line earlier itself. I hope this helps for someone else. Do clean your eclipse in case of these kind of problems
