I save locally my launch files per project in Eclipse (*.launch).
I wanted to commit them, but couldn't see the in the commit list in SourceTree. Also in Eclipse it is shown the files are ignored.
In the .gitignore file I only have the target folder defined.
How is it possible these files are ignored? Are there default file extensions that are ignored in Eclipse? I couldn't find any information on this type of ignore :(
The launch file is in the same project root as the pom file.
Launch configuration:
Navigator view:
I found it. Eclipse generates a hidden .gitignore_global file in my default user home folder.
There are all kind of file extensions which are ignored, including .launch
Found it by going to Preferences > Team > Configuration > User Settings

I have project which contains source files and cmake file that creates deeper structure and download another sources from externals. The goal is to see in Project Explorer if any versioned file was modified. It is working fine for files on main repository, but not on externals.
Example:
Let's assume that we have directory General and code main.cpp. When i change main.cpp, icon in project explorer will change. Inside General cmake creates directory External and download external external.cpp. When i change this file, Eclipse doesn't show icon that file was modified on directory and file.
I've downloaded Subversive and try to change settings, but nothing helped. I am almost sure that there is a way to have this, but no idea how to set it.
Using IAR it is simple Connect Project to subversion, but it shows only files, so you have to expand all groups in explorer to see which files was modified...
I'm trying to organise the directory structure of my projects' source code and the eclipse workspace etc.
I found a folder called runtime-EclipseApplication in a high level folder outside the directories where I keep my workspace and projects.
What is this folder, when/why is it created and is it safe to delete?
This is the default for the workspace name when you use Run As > Eclipse Application.
You can look in the Eclipse Applications section of the Run > Run Configurations dialog to see what (if anything) is using this workspace. The workspace name is shown in the Location field of the Main tab.
I have a Project that I have built on Eclipse. I have a property file added in the src directory. The java class file is available in bin, but the property file is not available. Where am I going wrong?
Assuming the type of project is Java Project
Right click on the project and select properties option. Check in the Java build path all files under source folder are included or not and also check if some files are excluded.
In my case property file is being copied to bin folder. See the picture below.
Hierarchy of source folder and bin folder are same in my case.
If project is of type plugin project
Open the Manifest.mf file in Plugin Manifest editor and go to Build tab. Check the property file is selected here if NOT then select the file and check.
Edit:
Troubleshooting steps:
Simply Restart eclipse and completely clean and build the workspace and check.
When deleting a source folder in a PyDev project in the Project Explorer, the project PYTHONPATH is not updated and there is a red x marking in the outline with an error message saying "Source folder: [source folder name] not found".
Is this really the intended behavior? I would expect the PYTHONPATH to be updated if source folders are removed.
I'm using PyDev version 2.7.3 and Eclipse 3.7.2.
Steps to repeat the problem:
In Project Explorer, create a new PyDev project with File -> New -> PyDev Project
Create a new PyDev source folder by right-clicking the new project and selecting New -> Source Folder (under the PyDev menu)
Remove the source folder (which was just added) by right-clicking the source folder and select Delete.
Add a new source folder (needed to trigger the error).
There is a red x error mark and a message saying "Source folder: [source folder name] not found".
Go to PyDev Properties. The deleted folder is still listed in the Source Folders tab under PyDev-PYTHONPATH.
Note: When repeating the steps above in the Package Explorer instead of the Project Explorer, the red x's don't show up - so you can't see there is a problem. However, if you look in PyDev properties the behavior is the same - PYTHONPATH is not updated.
Right click on your project folder->Properties->PyDev - PYTHONPATH. Select the directories causing the errors and click Remove on the right.
Looks like the problem happens when project name doesn't match directory name.
e.g.,
env/VersionModifier/src/myfile.py
.project file = CoolTool
source folder not found
env/VersionModifier/src/myfile.py
.project file = VersionModifier
OK
You could call it a bug or an "enforcement of best practice" but right clicking on the project and making its name match its enclosing directory fixed the problem for me in Kepler.
Good luck

the way i resolved it is to go to the folder in which your code is stored and find a file by the name of .pydevproject. It is an invisible file in eclipse/aptana so you may have to do this through cli or file browser. look for a structure that look like <path>path/to/your/file</path> and delete the ones that show errors in your package explorer. this will resolve your problems for now, but this is a bug and needs to be reported.
I think the problem stems from the fact that pydev fails to remove the <path>...</path> vars once the user deletes the source folder.
Below is how I resolved this, hope it helps.
Clean Up:
Removed the project from eclipse; of course, leaving it as on disk.
From the source directory removed ".project" and ".pydevproject" files.
Recreate:
Created a new PyDev project (in eclipse), providing the existing source directory. In the New Project dialog, selected "Create 'src' folder and add it to the PYTHONPATH".
The project got created properly, without any source-folder errors.
Now add the folder you want to add as source directory, by right-clicking the folder and selecting the option under "PyDev".
At the end, you may just delete the "src" directory that was created by eclipse.
How can I clone all of my Eclipse settings (preferences, plugins, etc) from one computer to another?
IIRC, Eclipse installs into a folder as opposed to all over the place like most Windows apps. Have you tried just copying the entire folder?
They are stored in the .metadata directory in your designated workspace directory. So you can copy that over, although some settings may not work right away as they contain absolute paths.
If you are referring to the plugins themselves, just copy the eclipse_dir/plugins folder
Eclipse has an import/export facility for general workspace Preferences:
File > Export > Preferences
Choose "Export All" and then provide a destination path and filename for your preference file (Eclipse will automatically add a .epf extension).
In a new (or existing) installation of Eclipse import the .epf file
File > Import > Preferences
Project specific settings, if you enabled (and configured these), are stored in the subfolders .classpath, .project and .settings inside the project folder. Assuming you preserve your project folders for use by the new Eclipse installation, your project-specific settings will remain safe.
Eclipse projects are also imported/exported via Eclipse file menu:
File > Import > File System
