Is fast view removed in eclipse oxygen? It was very useful for me when I'm in a maximized code editor.
Fast view are still available in Eclipse Oxygen, but maybe Show in the Original Location is enabled by mistake:
In addition, there is also an option per fast view regarding the size: right-click on the view button and choose Orientation > Default to make the view resizable horizontally and vertically.

I am working a project on windowbuilder of eclipse. My frame is fullscreen so it does not fit in the design page of WB.
The same problem also happens with JScrollPanes, in the design-view of Windowbuilder you can see the scrollbars, but you cant use them.
Is there anyway to zoom out WB so that I can have overall view of my window?
You cannot zoom in/out in window builder but you can use the editor scroll bars to view to specific parts of your large window area, you can also right click and select "preview" to see the actual application window. If you cannot see the scroll bars in the window builder editor and you are using a mac, use an external mouse and they will show up. Also add this to your eclipse.ini file -Dswt.enable.themedScrollBar=false
Hope that helps - Duncan Krebs
I am using this Version of eclipse Version: Luna Service Release 1 (4.4.1) is there anyway in eclipse to separate the variables window when Debugging code to watch it at the other screen?
All the views are separable. Just drag the tab to another location and the view will appear in its own window.
Maybe this could be an solution

You could "detach" all views and arrange them on your "secondary"
monitor. Each view will appear in a window of its own, but you can stack
several views by dragging them into the same window.
When I work with eclipse, I like to have my Java editor maximized, and all other views minimized in the trim stack (the area around the edges of the window). This way, I can expand the view only when I need it, by clicking on the view icon.
In previous Eclipse versions, when I finished working with a view, I clicked on another view or the editor so that it lost focus, and that caused it to minimize again. In Juno, it doesn't work - when I click on the editor, the view stays open and is hiding my code. In order to close it, I have to either click the view icon, or click on another program and then return to Eclipse.
Do you have any idea if there is a setting I can change to get the old behavior back?
Thanks!
Edit: Seems like a bug in eclipse.
I am unable to reproduce this problem using Juno SR1. Bug 371598 was fixed and looks like the same problem.
Version: Eclipse 4.2 Codename: Juno
I don't see a fast view bar in eclipse 4.2. I can't rightclick on a view and enable fast view. The fast view options under General -> Perspectives does nothing.
Was the fast view feature removed or am I missing something?
I've looked up at http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Ftasks-9b.htm , but that didn't help either.
The single Fast view bar has been replaced by minimized stacks. Now you simply drag your views into one stack and then minimize it.
I have created a request to get back the original behavior (from platform 3.x):
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=385105
Vote for it if you are equally interested.
It is bit tricky read the documentation properly search for fast view bar in the eclipse documentation. in General -> Perspective area set the radio button to fast view and enable hide empty fast view bar. after opening the navigator minimize the navigator now reopen the navigator and click esc it should be working..
If you are missing the views previous located in the fast view?
Use the "Quick Access" search field to find the views.
(located in the top bar to the left of perspective views: Java, Debug etc.)
To view all, click spacebar.
Just open a New Window: main menu | Window | New Window
The Perspective switching bar will be recovered for the new window and you can close the original window.
I've been trying to find a way to scroll the text horizontally with my scrollwheel in Eclipse, similar to the way you can do it in Textpad. In Textpad if you hold ctrl while you scroll vertically it will scroll horizontally. Does anybody know if there is a configurable setting somewhere in Eclipse that will allow this? I've looked all over the "keys" setting page without being able to find it, and Google/Stack Overflow searches haven't turned anything up for me.
Thanks.
I guess this depends more on your OS than on Eclipse. For instance on Mac OS it's Shift + Scrolling.
#Daniel Sokolowski's answer was almost working. I have been using X-Mouse Button Control for over a year now and didn't know how to get the Horizontal Scrolling to work on certain programs (like Eclipse and Chrome) until I read Sokolowski's answer which pointed me in the right direction.
For the sake of brevity, and not to duplicate what has already been written clearly by Sokolowski, follow his directions, and in addition do the following:
Add Eclipse to your Applications list in X-Mouse by clicking Add and finding javaw.exe in the "Choose Application" popup and clicking OK.
Now click on the "Eclipse" profile and choose the "Scrolling & Navigation" tab
Under the "Advanced Window Scrolling" choose Method 1(SCROLL Msg) option for Scroll Method
Click Apply
If you correctly followed Sokolowski's and my instructions together you should be able to press Shift while scrolling up or down to trigger a horizontal scroll.
On a Windows machine this worked for me:
Download X-Mouse Button Control
In the main window go to 'Layer 2' and change 'Wheel Up' and 'Wheel Down' to 'Scroll Windows Right' and 'Scroll Window Left'
Go into the 'Settings > Modifier Keys Tab' and select 'Shift' for the 'Activate Layer 2' setting.
Now in whatever active window, including Eclipse pressing shift and then scrolling up and down will scroll horizontally.
Update: I have been using this approach for a few days now and noticed that not all windows are horizontal scroll enabled, for example 'Package Explorer' is not but 'Navigator' is - this appears to be a limitation of Eclipse IDE rather than this approach. Please take a moment and upvote this Eclipse Bug #201984
You have a plugin supposed (not tested) to support horizontal scrolling.
But without plugin, SWT does not support horizontal scrolling on Windows.
Its support is planed for 3.6 though. (since 3.6M2, actually -- September 18, 2009)
New event constants have been added for horizontal mouse wheels.
See SWT.MouseHorizontalWheel and SWT.MouseVerticalWheel.
For me the best way while using eclipse or for that matter any IDE, is to have a new line char at the end of screen. I feel that to use horizontal scrolling to view data becomes bit difficult while going back and forth and I would like all code to be visible to me always. If the code you are trying to view requires you to use horizontal scroll bar then try to format it by using Ctrl+Shift+F.
The bug has been fixed in the latest update of Eclipse.
In your Eclipse menu bar, simply:
1. Click Help>Check for Updates.. (and wait for the progress bar at the bottom to finish checking)
2. Install all updates.
Once Eclipse IDE gets restarted, you are now able to scroll horizontally.
(Save yourself from having to install additional mouse softwares to create new configurations. Phew, I'm so glad I figured this one out for myself)
Cheers!
