I was trying to get Zest 2.0 for Eclipse marketplace but found nothing.
Then I tried to download it manually through GEF4, however it seems that there are only 1.x versions of Zest.
How can I install Zest 2.0 properly?
The version history of Zest is not entirely clear, but I try to tell what happened there:
The original versions (Zest 1.x) were developed by Ian Bull, that was included in the GEF project, but was developed mostly separately.
GEF 2.0 started as a Google Summer of Code project in 2009 (IIRC), and a lot of new features and bugfixes were implemented over the 1.x branch, but they were never ported back to the release train.
Then GEF4 started as a new approach where the entire inner behaviour of GEF was changed, and in 2014 the Zest 2.0 components were migrated to use the new GEF4 codebase, using a 0.1.0 version number.
In June 2016 this was released as GEF4 Zest 1.0.
In other words, components called Zest 2.0 are not available in any standalone release. If you want to rely on them, you can do one of the following:
Use Zest 1.x components available from the GEF legacy release update site: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/legacy/releases/ If you have an existing Zest-based tool, these versions should be easy to migrate to.
Migrate to GEF4 Zest available from current release site http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases/ If you plan to start a new project, most likely this is the most promising candidate; similarly, this is the version that is planned to be maintained long-term, so this migration might become necessary sooner or later.
Click on help menu / install new software, click on add button to add new update site. The update site can be found here. In your case that might be this: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/gef4/updates/releases. You should see this:
Install it. Or you may be able to install it using local update site (not tried) found here: https://www.eclipse.org/gef/downloads/index.php.

We are developing RCP Eclipse based application,currently for functional/GUI tests we use RCPTT tool although we are not fully satisfied with it.
What are the other options beside SwtBot for GUI testing (on multiplatform Linux/Windows)? Abby,TFTP,Jubula are discontinued or not maintained any more.
Since i cannot write a comment yet:
Jubula is still in development and maintainedgit repository. Bugs are fixed and new Features are implemented. The last release was from may 2017 but the next release is planned before eastern 2018.
The Jubula ITE(Integrated Testing Environment) can be used or the newer Java API in which you also could write tests with java.
Our project uses gwt 1.7 and jdk 1.5.0_13.
We need to add support for IE9 and above.
For that, we need to upgrade gwt to latest version (2.5) and, therefore, upgrade jdk as well.
While doing so, we are getting errors related to missing source codes in gwt jars (e.g. TimeOutException source code not found).
We have simply replaced the gwt 1.7 jars with latest ones. What else do we need to change?
Is there any guide explaining the migration procedure for gwt?
AFAIK there isn't any detailed guide explaining the migration. In the documentation project you have only a brief list of features and breaking changes for each version, it is very useful though.
You have many posts with the experience of users migrating from 1.7 to 2.0, but almost very old since 2.0 was released some years ago. There is very little info for migrations from 1.7 to the the last 2.5.
Said that, the main problem you will deal with is the change in the tools for dev and debug, so I recommend first to get used with these tools. Then you have to fix each single 'red' mark in your IDE project. Then you should look for 'yellow' marks in order to avoid using deprecated classes/methods. Finally you could consider replacing some code of your project with new features in 2.x like cell-widgets, layout-panels, etc, see the showcase.
The process will be tedious, but it is worth to have your project using last releases if you plan to maintain the application in the future.
BTW, there are plans to remove support for IE6, IE8 and even IE9 in future versions of GWT, in order to improve and modernize gwt and to support new html5 features. It will be gradual though: Solutions for people needing IE7/IE8 support in future GWT releases
I updated from 2.2 -2.5 yesterday and had 2 errors I had to overcome.
Jar file was for 2.2- I deleted it, switched to non GWT toolkit, and switched back. This updated(created) to correct jar.
source code problem- for some reason the run config was not transferred correctly. Since i had used a new workspace when updating i copied over the old path to the new workspace. (this was located under: Debug config--> Arguments--> Program arguments
Hope this helps :)
I have been using ANTLR with Eclipse for some time using the ANTLRv3IDE plugin. While it is not perfect, and a bit outdated, it does its job reasonably well.
Now I am looking to switch to ANTLRv4 for another DSL that I am creating. However, Eclipse support seems to be extremely thin. I decided to try out ANTLRWorks, which is a NetBeans plugin, but I could not get it to install (it seems to be locked to specific dated versions (201302132200 while I have something newer, still 7.3 as docs say) of dependencies).
So, the question: Has anyone set up any Java IDE (preferably Eclipse, but I could be persuaded to switch if support is good for something else) to integrate with ANTLR? With integrate, I mean: code generate on save/keyboard shortcut and syntax coloring (at the very least). Code completion and other features are of course nice to have, but I could live without them for now.
I am well aware of Xtext and I have had great success using it for some projects, but unfortunately it does not fit the needs here (need no IDE support, need my own DSL model not based on ECore, etc).
I know ANTLRWorks can be run as a standalone application without a Java IDE, but that I consider to be a last-resort solution as it is extremely cumbersome to work this way (switch between application, files out of sync, no VCS support etc). I tried the other way around: to install the Java parts into ANTLRworks (which itself is a NetBeans distro), but it did not end well (it seems basic project support etc was stripped out of ANTLRworks).
Antlr4 plugin for Eclipse is here:
https://github.com/jknack/antlr4ide
ANTLRWorks 2 uses many non-public interfaces from NetBeans, which means it will always be bound to a particular version. The standalone download will always work because it bundles the dependencies itself.
The standalone build of ANTLRWorks 2.1 is available. This build includes support for ANTLR 4.1.
A new plugin build of ANTLRWorks 2.1 will be available once NetBeans 7.4 is released.
Moving forward, the code for ANTLRWorks post-2.1 is open-source under an LGPL license.
I think you have downloaded Netbeans 7.3.1.
Try download 7.3 from https://netbeans.org/downloads/7.3/ and install the ANTLRworks plugin there. (Link to the ANTLRworks Update Center: http://tunnelvisionlabs.com/downloads/nbupdates/nb73/aw2/updates.xml ).
Note that ANTLRworks v2 contains ANTLR v4.0, which is not the current version of ANTLR (4.1). So also download ANTLR v4.0 from the ANTLR download folder (The antlr-4.0-complete.jar file) and use it as library for compilation.
Now you can use nearly all things you wanted.
ANTLRv3IDE was opensourced. It should be compile-able for Juno. For stringtemplate (ST4) look at the Hastee plugin. It supports some of ST4 constructs.
This question has been bothered me for a long time, and I guess it's too general and basic so that a quick google can never point me to the right answer.
For example, 7.3.1 has just been released, and my currently installed NetBeans (7.3) notified me that there were some components to be upgraded. After I did the upgrade and restarted NetBeans, its title bar still shows 7.3.
So, are the new features of 7.3.1 included in my NetBeans now?
If so, can anybody give me the link of the official documentation that mentions this?
Version 7.3 is the same as version 7.3.1. You are talking about the same thing. Now upgrades to components is different.
Now by upgrading components you receive new functionality and fixes on the actual plugins and NOT on the IDE engine itself.
Bottom line, yes your IDE is up to date now despite the fact that the plugins might not be completely up to date.
Usually when one wants to create a new file in the Eclipse IDE , Java, Javascript, Colsdfusion PHP etc are provided as the options for the new files.
I recently downloaded Eclipse for Coldfusion 8 and excecuted the file "software/dw/java/europa/J2EE-SDK-Europa-33-win32.zip" .
Now when I want to create a New File "only JAVA " option is available. There is no coldfusion or HTML!
So can any one provide me the Exact/correct link for Codfusion related Eclipse?
(On the Eclipse website there are many Eclipse related downloads but I am not sure which one is specific for Coldfusion.)
There's CFEclipse, a free, open-source Eclipse plug-in for working with CFML. And of course there's Adobe's ColdFusion Builder, a commercial product that works as either a plug-in for an existing Eclipse installation, or as a full stand-alone product (with Eclipse already baked in).
CFEclipse 1.3.6, the current stable version, works with Eclipse 3.4.x or 3.5.x. Here's the CFEclipse wiki.
The stated Eclipse versions required for ColdFusion Builder are 3.4.2 or 3.5. Here's Adobe's requirements page.
If you're using one of these as a plug-in and you don't need a lot of the other Eclipse features, the J2EE version of Eclipse is probably overkill (it's the biggest package). You can try out a more minimal Eclipse install, then update and add plug-ins as you need them. Try the Eclipse Platform Binary, for example.
There's also Adobe's ColdFusion Builder IDE specially created for this purpose. It proposes some features not available in CFEclipse, but not free (though there's a trial version available).
In addition to Ken's answer please note that you can already use preview builds of CFEclipse with latest Eclipse 3.6 Helios. I am using this configuration on daily basis and it is pretty stable and more efficient than previous version for me.
If you will expierience problems with preview builds, feel free to post them into the CFEclipse groups, developers usually react pretty quickly.
One more hint for you. Sometimes after installing the plugin via Add Sofware further updates do not work correcly. I've experienced this issue few times so it can be useful to know the solution.
To fix this check the Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites. If needed entry missing -- create it manually using the same update URL as for installation.
Also there's an Eclipse-based version of Adobe CF manual available, see this help page for details.
Hope this helps.
