Does Spring Tool Suite run on Windows 10? - spring-tool-suite

Our agency requires that all Windows software be packaged by a central group. We've been using STS on Windows 7 for quite a while. I can't find any kind of official statement to indicate that it will run on Windows 10. Is STS working for folks running Windows 10 64 bit (HP hardware, if that makes a difference).
Several of us have tried finding information on the STS official site and I have submitted an issue to the STS issue tracker but it is unassigned. It would be helpful if we could point to some practical experience or success with this.
Thanks in advance,
Leila

I received a very helpful comment from Martin Lippert on the STS issue tracker site. He said "The latest version of STS (3.8.3) as well as the upcoming version (3.8.4) are based on Eclipse Neon, which has Windows 10 as a supported target environment defined (https://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?planurl=http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/plans/eclipse_project_plan_4_6.xml). Therefore you can run STS on Windows 10."
We also tested it on a test computer and it seems to be working fine.

Unable to validate Weblogic domain" - Oracle Enterprise Pack

I have been facing the "Unable to validate Weblogic domain" issue from OEPE for last 2 days. I have tried
(a) downloading and installing different versions of OEPE ;
(b) Using Eclipse and Oracle Weblogic separately ; outside of OEPE etc
It used to work previously and then one day last week, my system shut down unexpectedly and since then I am not able to get Eclipse (irrespective of version) and Weblogic to work together.
I have moved on to using Jboss for the time being. But since my production environment is Weblogic and I would like to use Weblogic for development purposes as well, I am trying to get this issue resolved.
I did search the Oracle and other communities and somebody mentioned its because of difference in java version and to add
-Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true
in eclipse.ini. My eclipse.ini already has this statement and I still face the issue.Please help.
Iam not the person who answers this question. But the comment above is the answer for this question and it worked for me too. Below is the solution.
I finally got the resolution for this issue. Actually the full credit goes to my colleague, who resolved this bugging bug. Since it drove me crazy, decided that I would spare others from the same experience First of all, there were no errors in any of the logs. Server was starting up but Eclipse did not recognize it as such. And here is the resolution : Go to Window Tab -> Preferences -> General -> Network Connections Change the Active provider to "Direct". The default is usually Native. and that's it. Close and restart eclipse.
It happened to me as well, I even reinstalled weblogic again, after a bit of research I decided to kill the Java(TM) Platform SE Binary process via Task Manager and restarted the Server.
That's all It took to resolve the issue.

Difference between Dbgeng.dll distrubuted with windows 7 and debugging tools for windows package

What's missing in dbgeng.dll in windows 7 Vs the dbgeng.dll distributed with debugging tools for windows ?
Very late to the party on this one but I've run into one very significant difference recently:
The dbgeng.dll built into windows installations will not support remote debugging where as the one installed with debugging tools does!
There appear to be other differences also that I didn't dig deeper into - all I knew was a working program using the built in dll started crashing when using the debugging tools one... which was a pain considering I would have liked to use the remote debugging facility out of the box.
This post shows the difference between Windows 7 and Windows 8 preview, I believe Windows 8 version is similar or possibly same as latest one that ships that is in debugging tools because when I do use dependencyWalker I notice that the one in Debugging Tools also has this new exported method DebugCreateEx which is also in the latest version
Windows 7 System 32 version:
Dependency walker:
Debugging tools version:
Dependency walker:
Hope this helps in some way to explain the differences, especially the post at the top.

Show-stopper Eclipse Helios install problems under OSX (10.6) 64bit

I thought I'd give Helios a try, so I grabbed the latest Java EE install from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/heliosr. Note, both OSX 32bit and 64bit exhibit the same symptoms.
So from a fresh install I run Helios (it launches fine), then the problem comes when I try running an upgrade. I keep getting these two errors errors:
Artifact not found: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/compositeContent.jar.
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/compositeContent.jar
No repository found at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios.
These are my (default) update sites:
Helios http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios Enabled
Mylyn for Eclipse Helios http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/helios Enabled
The Eclipse Project Updates http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.6 Enabled
The Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) software repository http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/helios Enabled
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/e3.4 Disabled
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/extras Disabled
Note, I'm not behind any firewalls/proxies etc, no nothing weird with network connectivity.
I've searched all over the place and there are others with the same problem, with no solution that I could find.
Has anyone else run into these issues?
UPDATE 1:
Notes:
I'm not behind a proxy.
I've tried the Java EE, but also bare bones Eclipse 3.6.1.
I've tried different mirrors (including the main site),
I've tried SpingSource's version.
I've tried exporting the update sites to XML, deleting them and reimporting them.
I even tried adding forward slashes to the ends of site names.
I've made sure I have full write permissions for the eclipse folder, and have even placed it on my desktop.
I mention all of these seemingly odd behaviours because these are suggestions I've read around the web on this problem, which many people are having.
Once last interesting point I've just tried, is to download the "http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/compositeContent.jar" directly in the browser. It redirects to "http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/eclipse/releases/helios/compositeContent.jar" with a 403 forbidden. :\ It seems as though system is finding a mirror, but perhaps the mirror is broken? Also note, I'm in Australia, so Georgia Tech is nowhere near me ;)
Just as I was writing this, I tried one last idea. I discovered "Pulse" by Genuitec, which is a Eclipse install manager. I gave it a shot, and it worked. The site it uses for updates is:
"[url=http://eclipse.poweredbypulse.com/downloads/aux/eclipse-mirror/releases/helios] http://eclipse.poweredbypulse.com/downloads/aux/eclipse-mirr or/releases/helios[/url]"
So, I've wasted enough time on this now. I'd create a bug in Eclipse Bugzilla, but there are already entries with no solution.
UPDATE 2:
Ok, from a fresh install, if I disable:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/
and add Pulse's update site:
http://eclipse.poweredbypulse.com/downloads/aux/eclipse-mirror/releases/helios/
I don't get any errors. I really think it's to do with the automatic mirrored update site. Is this possible?
Here is a screenshot of my update sites now:

Ok, I had the same issue on Windows XP 64bits laptop an Fresh Helios 64bits download, however your workaround works for me.
See update 2 in the question.

Anyone have issues with Eclipse over Remote Desktop Connection?

I have a very strange issue that I'm hoping someone can help me with. I have various installations of Eclipse on my development machine at work. The one I primarily use is Weblogic WorkSpace Studio 10.2. This installation, along with a few Pulse installations I have set up works fine when I'm logged into my computer physically.
However, when I try to log into the computer using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection utility I get an error stating: "Could not create Java virtual machine." and then I get the lovely Eclipse error box which I personally can gather almost nothing from.
Even if you don't have the solution, any help would be greatly appreciated.

What ended up working for me was the memory settings for the JVM. Apparently the remote desktop connection, or some other setting in Windows, blocks off a fairly large amount of space. By reducing the heap size allocation for the JVM during Eclipse and server start-up I was able to get this working. As a side note, I had PLENTY of space that windows could have used, so I don't think blankly adding more memory would necessarily solve the issue. If you find another solution, please let me know.
• We came across an issue when user RDC’s to a remote system where the OS is Windows 10 and has a running Eclipse instance, the Eclipse instance terminates
• Eclipse is one of the IDE’s for Java
• The issue is because of Windows 10 Exploit protection
• Pre-requisite: You will need Administrative permissions for executing the below
• Navigate to Settings -> Update & Security -> Windows Security -> App & Browser Control -> Exploit Protection Settings
• Add the program to exclude as below
P.s. As of Window 10 1909 MS security advisory mentions we can disable some exploit protections by default.
Perhaps it is permission related. take a look at similar issue that symantec has:
http://service1.symantec.com/support/ent-security.nsf/854fa02b4f5013678825731a007d06af/8ea1593f1d1fcee68025759a003d8403?OpenDocument
Try to see if you have same patches installed that causes the security issue. Also refer to application log to see if there is a more specific error. Good luck :)
I think issue happens due to Windows, not Eclipse nor JVM. There is still open Bug report on the Eclipse side and one of the comments state that Microsoft is working on the issue.
I have tried Windows Remote Desktop-ing into my dev machine at work (which had only one version of eclipse installed on it). I had no troubles.
Is it possible that your problems stem from multiple versions of eclipse running at the same time?
Also, have you tried a fresh install of eclipse on your dev machine?
If the above two suggestions don't work, then the only thing that I can think of is what Mohammad said: you might need to check your permissions.
I would check the system log if I were you: Start > run > eventvwr
The first thing to look at is the .log file which is in your eclipse's metadata folder (found in your workspace at $WORKSPACE_ROOT/.metadata/.log). If you post the stack trace that it generates upon initialization, we can give a definitive answer.
I am now experiencing this in Eclipse (the Oxygen release and Java 1.8.0_181). I previously had the same problem with another Java-based program (Oxygen XML/XSL editor - the product name is coincidentally the same as the Eclipse version). Last year the Oxygen support team answered that it may be a known problem in Java.
Even without seeing a crash report, considering your sequence of
events, this seems like a known common cause of crash for the Java
runtime. Keeping Oxygen/Java running for a long time, until the screen
or video card enters sleep then connecting/disconnecting
screens/projectors or connecting/disconnecting RDP can trigger a crash
in the Java runtime. We keep updating the Java runtime (JRE) with each
new version of Oxygen, but so far the issue has not been resolved in
newer versions of the JRE.

IDE supporting WAS

Hello all,
Can anyone tell me which IDE I can use to do development towards WAS 7.0?
Please help me out with the answer very soon. I have checked Netbeans 6.5 beta and it does not have the support for it. Also on the MyEclipse Blue Edition page it says Compatible with WebSphere 5.x, 6.0, 6.1, 7, but in http://www.myeclipseide.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=98487 I see "WebSphere Application Server V7.0 is not supported by MyEclipse at the moment. Thats the reasons you guys are running into issues."
Anyone please help me out with this issue ASAP.
IBM Rational Application Developer 7.5
If you want proper support for WAS, you should be using the Rational toolset. RAD/RSA and their brethren are optimized for Websphere (as you'd expect given they're both from IBM).
You can do it with baseline Eclipse (I'd use the "real" Eclipse rather than myeclipse) but the easiest set up will be with Rational. You may not want to spend the money however.
It's well worth the cost, since it comes bundled with WAS test environments and can deploy automatically to other WAS instances (for example, system test environments).
RAD 7.5 supports WAS 7 so I'd go for that one. RAD 7 only supports up to WAS 6.1.
