Eclipse set build automatically option In eclipse off by default - eclipse

Is any way to do that?
I found the preference definition :
org.eclipse.core.resources.ResourcesPlugin.PREF_AUTO_BUILDING
but I don't know where to update it.
this link explain how to do that but i can't find the plugin_customization.ini file of the force.com plugin

This is only one plugin_customization.ini file and that is in the product plugin for your Eclipse installation. This file is in the Eclipse installation directory not the workspace.
For my installation the product plugin is org.eclipse.sdk but depending on which build of Eclipse you installed yours may be different.

.jar plugin for Eclipse not being loaded

I am trying to install FatJar plugin in Eclipse, but it is not showing up. I am doing everything as explained in the documentation, extracted the .jar file in plugins directory, then started command prompt inside Eclipse folder with "eclipse -clean", and it doesn't show up...
Anyone know how can I check if the plugin is being noticed at all?
This plugin is very old and is using the old style plugin format which is not supported by default by current versions of Eclipse.
As mentioned in the documentation most (probably all) of the features provided by this plugin are now part of Eclipse as standard (see 'File > Export > Java > Runnable JAR file')

Add language pack to eclipse RCP

I downloaded the eclipse language pack from the following site:
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/babel/babel_language_packs/R0.10.1/indigo/indigo.php
I put the downloaded plugins in the plugin folder of my eclipse installation.
My question: How do I use these plugins with my eclipse RCP application now?
I seem to be unable to add them to my application because I can select them no where. I also tried to drop them into the plugin folder of my RCP application after I exported the application and adding the plugin names to the config.ini but I had no success.
I'd appreciate any help on this topic since I'm stuck :(
Since 3.6 or so, Eclipse doesn't try to find additional plugins in the plugins folder; it will only consider what has been installed with p2 (i.e. via the "Install New Software" menu or the marketplace).
There should be a dropins folder next to the plugins folder; put the language packs in there and Eclipse should automatically pick them up.
See the documentation for details.

Installation of FindBugs plugin with Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers

I'm struggling to get the Eclipse FindBugs plugin to work and am sure there's a schoolboy error being made somewhere.
I extracted the file findbugs-2.0.2-rc2.zip to a local folder C:\Program Files\findbugs-2.0.2-rc2 and running findbugs.bat, FindBugs works fine running it over a local Java (Eclipse) project.
I added the FindBugs update site, it found "FindBugs Feature, 2.0.1.20120712" and installed it. Restarting, right-clicking on an open Java Project doesn't display the "FindBugs" option (that this video shows).
I looked in Window > Preferences to try to find a way to inform the plugin of the local FindBugs installation (in Program Files), but couldn't find anything.
Uninstalling "FindBug Feature", I tried extracting the FindBugs Eclipse plugin zip file into Eclipse's plugins folder, but after a restart, saw no difference.
Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details > Installed Software lists "FindBugs Feature 2.0.1.20120712".
Can anyone please offer a pointer on where I'm going wrong here? Thanks!
Windows 7, Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers Juno SR1, JDK 1.7.0_09, FindBugs 2.0.2-rc2
As suggested above, problem is likely caused by not having appropriate write access to the C:\Program Files\Eclipse\plugins folder.
Solution:
Close Eclipse. Restart Eclipse as Administrator (right click - Run as Administrator). Reinstall plugin. Restart Eclipse.
It looks like the Findbugs plugin wasn't installed properly and/or disabled by Eclipse. There can be several causes.
Multiple versions of the same plugin. To make sure this isn't the case, remove all Findbugs versions (installed manually and via the marketplace), and reinstall one (preferably via the marketplace). Watch for any warnings during installation.
There is a (dependency) conflict with another plugin. However, if this is the case I think Eclipse will warn in the log which other plugin is the cause of the conflict.
Rights problem. Make sure you have write permissions in the main Eclipse folder and all it's child folders.
I remember reading somewhere that installing Eclipse under the C:\Program Files\ in Windows can also be causing problems. Try moving Eclipse to a different folder, e.g. C:\Eclipse
Hi I also faced the similar problem but from my own experience i can suggest you the solution :-
Plz ensure that you are using eclipse version 3.6 or higher. findbugs 2.0 is not compatible with Eclipse 3.5(Eclipse Galileo).
1) Plz extract the findbugs zip file into eclipse folder(wher your eclipse is installed). This will automatically move findbug plugins into eclipse plugins folder. Restart the eclipse and you will find findbugs option on right clicking on project.
2) if 1 step does not work plz remove all the findbug jars for the eclipse plugins folder and place the complete folder into the eclipse dropins folder. Restart the eclipse and you will see the difference.
You can follow these step's to make findbugs work in your eclipse.
1.Install FireBug plugin from marketplace.
Help->Eclipse Marketplace ->then search for FindBugs
2.Configure FindBug for your project
using Maven Without Maven
This worked fine for me using eclipse juno.

Offine installation of PMD plugin for Eclipse IDE

I am trying to download and install PMD plugin for Eclipse offline but did not succeed in doing so.
I downloaded following 2 zips:
net.sourceforge.pmd.eclipse-3.2.6.v200903300643.zip (this version matches with the one which I installed online)
pmd-eclipse-1.8.0
Not sure which one to use and how to configure it in Eclipse.
I searched a lot but did not find proper steps for the offine installation and configuration.
In case it contains site archieve:
Goto Help->Install New Software
Click Add...
In the Add Repository Dialog click Archive and point to your zip. Rest of the installation is as you would do with an online installation.
Else:
Extract the zip
Copy all plugins to your target eclipse plugins folder
Copy all features to your target eclipse features folder
launch eclipse with -clean option
You can get the latest 4.0 version of the plugin by pointing your Eclipse installer here:

Problem installing Maven plugin (m2eclipse) in Eclipse (Galileo)

I have Eclipse Galileo (for Java EE Developers) installed, and I'm now trying to get the m2eclipse Maven plugin installed as well.
I follow the basic steps described at http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/installing-m2eclipse.html, and it seems to be installing just fine. However, after restarting Eclipse after the install it doesn't seem to be anywhere. I should for instance have the ability to create a new maven project, but when the new-project wizard opens, there is no folder for Maven (I also cannot find any reference to it in the context menus of the existing projects I have).
When I click at Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details, I find "Maven Integration for Eclipse (Required)" in the tab "Installed Software", yet another thing pointing towards a successful installation (but I can't find it under the "Plug-ins" tab, should it be there too?)...
I feel like I'm just missing something very obvious, but right now I just don't see it...
I managed to find the answer to this myself:
I had put the Eclipse installation folder under c:\Program Files\, but when I moved it directly under c:\ instead, the plug-in installation worked just as it should. I assume that is because Eclipse wasn't allowed to write to its own installation folder (but I didn't get the usual question from Windows that something was trying to access Program Files either...).
In one way I feel like I should be a bit ashamed that I didn't think of this before. On the other hand though, there could have been some reasonable error message stating that something failed during the plug-in installation...
Well, I hope this at least helps somebody else as well :)
Did you check the m2eclipse installation requirements?
In particular, you need WTP.
"Maven integration for Eclipse" (core feature) and optional "Maven POM Editor" feature depend on the "Eclipse XML Editors and Tools" feature from WST
"Maven integration for WTP" feature provides Maven project configuration for WTP
Did you have a previous version of m2eclipse installed? Did you uninstall it before to install the latest version? Just in case, does the following note applies to you?
Note about 0.9.8 Workspace Incompatibility: If you are using
m2eclipse 0.10.0 with a workspace that
contains projects created under
m2eclipse 0.9.8, you must remove the
workspaceState.ser file. The
workspaceState.ser file is located
within the workspace directory in
$workspacedir/.metadata/.plugins/org.maven.ide.eclipse/workspaceState.ser.
If you remove this file, m2eclipse
0.10.0 will regenerate it as needed.
In my case, uninstalling the previous m2eclipse version didn't work and I had to start with a fresh Eclipse install (maybe try this also).
Regarding the plugin tab, this is what I have (to confirm that you should definitely find something):

Note that I also installed some extras from m2eclipse Extras Update Site: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e-extras
I was able to solve this problem by going into Program Files, right click on the eclipse.exe file and select "Run as administrator". When I restarted Eclipse it said I had no plugins installs so I reinstalled and my problems were solved.
PROBLEM SOLVED
I had this same problem and I used the following software site:
["M2Eclipse - http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.0] (without square brackets) to download the M2Eclipse plugin in Eclipse 3.7.0 (Indigo). For more information refer this.
To solve the problem of 'not getting Maven plugin running in eclipse' , it can be solved by altering admin rights to the .m2 folder . Right click on .m2 folder and go to network sharing. give all rights to all users. Restart eclipse and maven options will start to appear in Eclipse.
