Eclipse freezes when trying to install - eclipse

so I have a problem. I accidentally deleted Eclipse folder and I wanted to install Eclipse again. But when I run installation it freezes the moment I run it, and I have to exit it...please help me

It would be informative to observe and mention any system error during installation attempt. By the way, I hope you are installing the right version for your operating system and more so, you have the recommended system requirement like RAM size, processor speed. I suggest:
Restart your system.
Use a system tool like Advanced System Care (free) and scan your system.

Well, I don't know what happened but I tried to install it 2 times, it freezed and didn't work. When I tried third time it worked. :D So yeah. Magic.

I had the same issue. Everytime I tried to install Eclipse, the installer froze at some point. Turned out it was a problem with the firewall. I tried the installation over a hotspot from my phone and it worked.
Might not be the problem for you, but I thought I leave this here, as I was trying for quite a while and almost gave up.

What is VSCode User Setup for Windows?

On a Windows workstation after a recent update of VSCode I'm prompted (recommended) to install a "User Setup Distribution of VSCode for Windows"
The link for more info leads to:
Download User Setup
If you are a current user of the system-wide Windows setup, you will be prompted to switch to the user setup, which we recommend using from now on. Don't worry, all your settings and extensions will be kept during the transition.
I don't see anything that explains what changes this distribution makes or how it's different from a distribution for other platforms, like X11/linux.
Code is a great editor, so I use it on various platforms depending where I am. Where is the explanation of what is included in this updated "Distribution"?
https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_26#_user-setup-for-windows
Famous Question Badge Celebration! : love to VSCodium https://vscodium.com/ ... and highly recommend to anyone interested in this Q.
VSCode User Setup is a new installer, with a new install strategy, which installs the whole executable for VSCode and its dependencies in directories which don't require system-level / administrator permissions to modify. This allows a few things:
Users who don't have admin privileges to their workstation can still install and use VS Code
VS Code can perform its updates with fewer prompts (basically without the system-level privilege escalation prompts)
One tip: If you already had VSCode installed as a system-wide installation and you switch to the new installer as prompted/recommended, the User Setup installer will suggest that you uninstall the system-wide install first. I was a little nervous that I might lose my extensions doing this, but I went ahead and tried it and am happy to report that my extensions, recent projects, and other data regarding my VSCode use remained intact between uninstalling the "old" version and then proceeding with install of the new User Setup version.
(I'm a first time responder after many years.)
Note there is another useful discussion on this subject at: (What is the migration procedure for moving from Windows system-wide Visual Studio Code to user setup?). I too got worried when I got unexpected messages from the install informing me that the version was already installed and asking me if I wanted to continue? I clicked NO, why continue if it is already installed. However, in the process I became aware of the distinction between 'distribution' and 'version'. It turns out that the install works pretty much flawlessly no matter how you go about it. You can delete the system-wide distribution or not. If you do delete, you can delete before the new install, (which I did). You can also delete after the new install. (I didn't read too closely but there might be an extra step if you want to use both distributions.) In hindsight, since all approaches work nearly flawlessly, a minimal amount of instruction is all that was required. But in foresight, a little extra information on what to expect would have expedited the process for several people, including me. P.S. I found the answers in this thread useful. Thanks.
From the page you link to:
This setup does not require Administrator privileges to install. It also provides a smoother background update experience.

ERROR(UNITY 4.6):"Couldn't read a file://file"

I have installed unity 4.6 but as soon as it finished and I tried to run it, it gives an error, "Couldn't read a file://file" (see the screenshot) and I am not able to run it on my PC. I've also tried to install a different version but they all are giving me the same error message.
Try to delete all Unity files from your computer, than instal Unity 5 from [https://store.unity.com/?_ga=2.113035399.2020539281.1496751500-317263663.1476714068][1]
If you are gonna use Unity 5, if you will not still you can try for is it because your computer or just a temporary bug.
Than install Unity as administrator, read installation process carefull and start as administrator.
I hope that will solve your problem, have a nice day :)

Installation of EclipseFP on Eclipse Luna (Mac OS X Yosemite)

I'm trying to get EclipseFP (Haskell support, but the original coder stopped maintaining it last month) working on my iMac but everything seems to fail constantly. I've been debugging this for hours now and like most other Haskell stuff there isn't much decent support out there regarding the installation of such tools. I haven't even written a single line of Haskell code yet (apart from some playing around in GHC/GHCI which surprisingly did work)!
I've tried so many things already, different libraries, different solutions, different versions etc. But it seems that everything that has to do with haskell support is just one big clutter of confusion for me and nothing seems to point me in an apparent direction which bothers me since I am an experienced programmer and dealing with command line interfaces, tools and dependencies isn't unknown to me on all sort of platforms for years now.
Even the most relevant topics on StackOverflow or other knowledgebases just won't cut it regarding this topic and I'm starting to feel like dropping the entire Haskell language and just use something which does play nice with the system without such troubles since it is already such a pain in the ass to get the most basic development tools to work, let alone the coding itself...
The things I got:
Mac OSX Yosmite
GHC
GHCI
Cabal (repository)
Eclipse Luna
I've installed EclipseFP using the install instructions which worked out all great. At this point I thought it would just all work without any problems as the plugin installs just fine...
Well, that was not the case of course. I've restarted Eclipse as it requested after installing new plugins. Here is where the trouble begun..
In the following steps I would have to open the Haskell Perspective in Eclipse. Well... guess what.. there was none! After strolling the web I found out that it might have compatibility issues with the old JDK 1.6 which was installed by default on MacOSX. No worries.. I've downloaded Java JDK 1.8, set it up in Eclipse, restarted it. And there the item "Haskell perpective" showed up in the list.
After clicking that, and thinking my troubles were over (and I could finally start coding!) nothing happend! I've searched around for a while and found the Eclipse error console which until this day gives me nothing more than:
An error occurred while automatically activating bundle net.sf.eclipsefp.haskell.ui (459).
org.eclipse.e4.core.di.InjectionException: java.lang.RuntimeException: org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Plug-in net.sf.eclipsefp.haskell.ui was unable to load class net.sf.eclipsefp.haskell.ui.HaskellPerspective.
Of course I have tried solving this issue and came across some dependencies which needed to be installed using cabal (BuildWrapper, Scion-Browser and some other essentials). After doing so I still have the same problem and I have no idea where to look for. The only information I can really find are topics which are more than 3/4 years old which share 0 relevance to my exact problem.
I could paste the Java stacktrace here as well which came with the error message, but it doesn't show much useful information anyway other than just basic crashing.
I hope someone can help me because I would really like to start coding now for a change instead of wasting hours on getting my basic development framework/IDE set up.
Long story short; I'd like to code some Haskell in Eclipse but the development tools just won't install and/or work properly without any notable errors or directions to look for.

How to enable autocomplete in GoClipse?

The instructions how to install GoClipse have been followed.
I'm not getting any autocomplete stuff happening at all, either for local packages that I write, for built in stuff, or for GAE stuff (I have downloaded Go src to the SDK folder as the wiki states).
Are there any settings that I can check to ensure it is set up correctly? Is autocomplete supposed to work in the current version?
As the GoClipse with AppEngine article you linked to says:
We assume the reader has a working copy of GoClipse running in their Eclipse environment.
so that’s not the article you want to refer to. Instead, check for GoClipse.
The auto completion is named content assist in eclipse. The GoClipse features state:
Now delivered with content assist via Gocode for Windows, OS X 64bit, and Linux 64bit.
Gocode is an auto-completion daemon. So you will also have to install and run that one besides your eclipse + GoClipse.
There is a bug in the current version of Goclipse for the Linux platform. It currently delivers a prebuilt version of gocode for Windows, 64 bit OS X, and 64 bit Linux. I have only been able to test it locally with limited resources, so I really depend on users to report the problems they find at:
http://code.google.com/p/goclipse/issues/list
If you are having problems, I urge you to download and install gocode into your $GOROOT/bin directory and see if that helps. Otherwise, the fix will come in the next release in a few days.
Also, sorry for causing you any trouble and thank you for trying Goclipse.
If you are not using a gocode upstream (but the one shipped with Eclipse) on Linux you are also no be able to build your application with CRTL+F11, although just clicking in Run->Run is going to work.
So, I strongly recommend to update your gocode on Linux, as simple as:
$ sudo GOPATH=/opt/go/ go get -u github.com/nsf/gocode

How do I get Time Lapse View in P4Win?

In the past, on Windows XP machines, I was able to install P4V (the stupid platform-independent Perforce visual client that Perforce tries to shove down your throats), then after that, install P4Win (the wonderful clean robust mature visual client that Perforce is stupidly trying to deprecate).
If I did the installs in that order (and only in that order), I would get an option for "time lapse view" of a file when I right-clicked on it in a Perforce depot in P4Win. This would launch the time lapse view app that came with P4V, and everyone would be happy.
I just did those steps in Vista and... no dice. I don't see the Time Lapse View option when I right-click on a file.
Anyone know what wonky sequence of install steps I need to do under Vista to get this option?
Okay I did this myself. The steps I followed were:
1. Uninstall every single Perforce product on my machine.
2. Reboot.
3. Install P4V.
4. Reboot.
5. Insteall P4Win.
6. Reboot.
Then the Time-Lapse View (and the Revision Graph, another useful tool you can only get from the P4V tools) show up in P4Win. Huzzah!
By the way I tried uninstalling them all, then reinstalling in the right order WITHOUT any of those reboot steps... no dice. Probably not all of those reboot steps are necessary, but I wanted to be sure, and it worked.
I'd like to take this space to say once more: P4V is donkey feces, and Perforce needs to stop trying to shove it down our throats and continue to build on the fantastic product they have in P4Win. kthxbye.
This method also works for Windows 7 64 bit with 64 bit versions of P4V and P4Win
