Dashboard for Spring Tool Suite (STS) has strange charset after initial install - spring-tool-suite

After installing STS 3.8.1 on my Mac (OS X El Capitan) the Dashboard had some funky/unreadable characters. How do I change/fix this?

the underlying reason for this is a JavaFX font rendering issue (we use the JavaFX webkit-based webview for the dashboard). We are working on a fix for this (related bug is https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-4422). In the meantime I would suggest to switch to the old dashboard (you can do that in the Preferences -> Spring -> Dashboard).

My eclipse plugin is showing on eclipse marketplace web site, but not in eclipse marketplace client

I uploaded a plugin I developped to eclipse marketplace platform, following the steps described at https://marketplace.eclipse.org/quickstart.
Now I can find my plugin on their web site (https://marketplace.eclipse.org), and I can install it from there (by dragging and dropping the install button).
The problem is I can't find it using eclipse marketplace client (the one inside eclipse, that opens using Help / Eclipse Marketplace...).
What could be wrong...? Maybe the development stage (now beta) ? Maybe eclipse compatible versions have to be specified ? (I said luna but maybe there is a format or something)
I have not put links to my plugin because I wasn't sure about SO policy. I can put them / send them by mail if it can be helpful.
Thanks in advance !
Well it works now !
I changed several things so I'm not sure which one was the good one :
- Changed development stage from "alpha" to "beta"
- Added a version for the plugin ("1.1.0", this is just a text field)
- Added a version for eclipse ("Luna", this is just a text field)
I think the missing information was the Eclipse version. Without that, the Marketplace Client in your Eclipse install doesn't know if the connector is compatible with that version of Eclipse.
For example, the JBoss Tools and Red Hat Developer Studio marketplace connectors have several different versions of tooling in it, each targeting a different version of Eclipse.
4.5 / 11 -> Eclipse Oxygen (4.7)
4.4 / 10 -> Eclipse Neon (4.6)
4.3 / 9 -> Eclipse Mars (4.4)
4.2 / 8 -> Eclipse Luna (4.3)
So, depending on the version of Eclipse you're using, you'll get a different version of tooling from the connector, as it links to a different update site for each version.

Google Plugin for Eclipse cannot be properly Installed

I have installed
Google Plugin for Eclipse 3.6
Google Web Toolkit SDK 2.4.0
in my Eclipse-Helios-3.6 but cannot find the google plugin icon in my toolbar and also I'm able to find Google in Windows>>Preferences.
Operating system-Ubuntu
Well since you are able to see google in windows preferences i am assuming that the installation did work. Have you tried creating a new GWT Project. The GWT button might not show if the project is wrong.
Do not use the pre-packaged Eclipse in Ubuntu (that version is often quite outdated). Get a current version from the Eclipse website instead and install it in a directory that you like (thereby avoiding problems with the Eclipse update mechanism, which doesn't fit the Linux directory guidelines very well).

Unable to install google plugin for eclipse indigo

I'm setting up eclipse indigo for developing gwt application. But I can't be continue when I got an error message while adding update site http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.7 in eclipse. It showed me "could not find http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.7". My error was captured and can bee seen at http://i.stack.imgur.com/4mgAr.png.
I have no idea what's wrong. I'm just simply following the instructions at https://developers.google.com/eclipse/docs/install-eclipse-3.7.
I know I can download the plugins separately from https://developers.google.com/eclipse/docs/install-from-zip. But I have no permission to download it.
I'm using ubuntu 11.10 32bit and jdk 1.6.0_23.
Thanks for your help.
Please check your proxy entries of eclipse preferences. (window -> preferences -> General -> Network connections )
I am also facing the same problem while installing the GWT plugin. I have removed the proxy and tried to install the plugin. For that I have removed the laptop from my network connection and accessing the internet from other device(datacard) and tried...Yes installed successfully.
You can use the same link for INDIGO.

Line numbers not updating on 2nd monitor - Eclipse STS 2.8.1RELEASE - OS X Lion

I'm currently developing on a Macbook Pro running Lion, and I'm having an issue where line numbers (and all other features that are on that panel including breakpoints, section hiding/expanding, etc) don't scroll with the source code in the editor.
I found this filed bug (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=294929), but what I need to do to fix this isn't clear. I'm hoping to avoid a re-install and re-import of all my projects and other plug-ins.
Thoughts? Is it an STS issue (not really sure what version of Eclipse STS relates to)?
Check what version of Eclipse you are running off of. Did you install STS from the installer or the zip? Or did you start with a vanilla eclipse and use the update sites?
This problem happened with Eclipse 3.7.0 and Lion. This was a bug in SWT, but I believe that it is fixed in 3.7.1.
To find the Eclipse version click on :
STS -> about STS -> Installation details -> plugins -> org.eclipse.swt.
It should be 3.7.0 or 3.7.1 or 3.7.2. If it is 3.7.0, then you should update to 3.7.2 (released last week).
Just to make this clearer, my "solution" was to change display settings so that my 2nd monitor was my main one.
If somebody comes up with a better solution, I'll un-check this and check the new response.

Cannot select framework to use in new web application using Netbeans on Ubuntu

Using Netbeans 6.9.1 on Ubuntu 10.10 Beta, when I try to create a new web application, none of checkboxes on the frameworks page are selectable. Here are my exact steps:
File > New Project
Choose Java Web from Categories and Web Application from Projects, and click Next
Accept the defaults on the Name and Location page, and click Next
Accept the defaults on the Server and Settings page (Server: GlassFish Server 3; Java EE Version: Java EE 6 Web, and click Next
On the Frameworks page, 6 options appear with checkboxes (Google Web Toolkit, Spring Web MVC, Echo2...), but I can't figure out how to check one. I can do it on my Windows machine running the same version of Netbeans. I have all available plugins installed in Netbeans.
What am I missing?
after a lot of searching, I found a solution.
In my case it seemed to be open-jdk that was causing the issue...
I wrote the solutions down here:
http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191959
hope it helps...

I had the same problem... after many attempts to fix this i removed netbeans from the software center, installed it manually.. and now it all works smooth :D
I do believe that netbeans from the repo is 6.9 though and i installed 6.9.1 (on ubuntu 10.10)
Also I installed the sun java sdk: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
Try this : first, create your project without selecting a framework, then choose the framework you want to use in its properties.
Here you go, I ran into the same problem and finally figured out how to resolve it
Go to Tools > Plugins > Installed Plugins (Tab)
You will find the following plugins there
Java SE
Java ME
Groovy
Base IDE
Java Web and EE
Ensure that Java SE, Base IDE, Java Web and EE plugins are active, if not activate them. You should all set from there.
