using libGDX/gradle with Netbeans - netbeans

I want to learn to use libGDX to create android apps/games.
I used the installer from the libGDX website to create a new project, installed gradle (on windows10) and am able to build/run my project through command line. (tested desktop version and apk via bluestacks, both work nice)
My problem is now, that Netbeans cannot display my code correctly. It says cannot access java.lang at the first line, and things like cannot find symbol, package * does not exist or Override is not an annotation type at the other errors.
I mean, it works somehow, but it's not nice development like that. How can i fix those errors?

Compiler Problems on MAUI RC1

I have an app that I started using the out of the box MAUI project template. I have been running it on both a local Android emulator and a remote Mac emulator. It had been working on both, and then today after running it on Android for a while, I changed the debugger to use the Mac emulator. It immediately refused to compile, and listed every Android class reference as "type or namespace [blah] could not be found". After playing with several things, I found that if I commented out the "using Java.Net" on the default MainPage.xaml.cs, all of the compiler errors went away. If I uncomment it again, then all 20 something compiler errors show up again. This is the out of the box MainPage.xaml that came with the project template, plus one click event handler that I added - is there some known issue here?
As I said, it was working fine for nearly two weeks, and then just went bananas on me today. Haven't added any nuget packages or anything like that - just been writing code.
Thanks.
You've described the issue in your question:
using "Java.Net" on the default MainPage.xaml.cs.
That won't compile for any platform except Android.
It doesn't exist on the default MainPage.xaml.cs (which you could have verified by creating a new project).
My recommendation: Start over with a fresh project. Add again whatever you added, and see if that using appears again. If it does, you've added something Android specific. Which doesn't make sense, on a cross-platform page.
If using does appear again, and you don't understand why, then add to your question the exact code which, when added to page, causes using Java.net; to appear.
If you were following some example, also add a link to the example web page.
UPDATE
I have a theory about how that using got there:
I bet you added a reference to some class which exists in Java.net namespace.
So Visual Studio gave you an option to add a "using".
If that happens again, and a "using" mentions Android or Java, DON'T add the using, UNLESS you are in a file inside your project's Platforms/Android folder.
Some class names exist both in an Android or Java namespace, and in a .Net or Maui namespace. In cross-platform code, pick the cross-platform using, not the platform-specific one. If they are in different namespaces, they are different classes - even if the names are the same.

Visual Studio Code does not see changes in F# Solution

Currently I am trying to use Visual Studio Code with Ionide to build a F# Solution. To describe my problem, i first describe what i have done, and what works.
I created a solution with two Projects. One Project is a Queue that contains a F# library. Another project is Queue.Test that is a console application that uses the Queue library, and should contain the Tests for the Queue library.
I'm using .Net6 and created the solution and Project with the dotnet cli tool.
In general, i can build the project with dotnet and i also can use everything in Visual Studio Code. I load the Folder that contains both projects, and Visual Studio Code loads the library.
I am able to edit the Library and my Console application. In my Console application i also can access the Queue and so on. Autocompletion works, and so on.
But, there is one problem. When i add a new function to my library, let's say Queue.help then in my Console application, i cannot see that function. It doesn't show in autocomplete, and when I write code that uses that function i get a compiler error telling me that function doesn't exists.
I can Build/Rebuild from VS Code or from CLI but the problem goes not away.
The only way Ionide starts to see the new function is by building the library AND restarting VS Code. As long i don't restart, it seems to not update the generated dll (i guess).
This is sure annoying, as i don't want to reload/restart VSCode everytime I add a new function to my library.
So my question: How i can I fix this?
What i want is to be able to change my library, and at the same time write tests in the other project and get full Code autocompletion.
Does somebody else have the same problem, or should I change my workflow?
What can i do, to debug this problem on my own?
Some tips?
This issue is fixed by the recent version of Ionide 5.10.1

Setting up libgdx in IntelliJ Idea with GWT Support?

So far the documentation doesn't include the set up of GWT project in IDEA, and my limited google skill can't find the solution. Is it possible?
If you generated your libgdx project using the gdx-setup.jar file, then you should import your project by using the following link: https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki/Gradle-and-Intellij-IDEA
HTML: View -> Tool Window -> Terminal, in the terminal, make sure you are in the root folder of your project. Then execute gradlew.bat html:superDev (Windows) or ./gradlew html:superDev (Linux, Mac OS X). This will take a while, as your Java code is compiled to Javascript.
Once you see the message The code server is ready, fire up your browser and go to http://localhost:8080/html. This is your app running in the browser! When you change any of your Java code or assets, just click the SuperDev refresh button while you are on the site and the server will recompile your code and reload the page! To kill the process, simply press CTRL + C in the terminal window.
Once this bug in the Gradle tooling API is fixed, we can simplify running the HTML5 by using the Gradle integration. At the moment, the Gradle process will run forever even if canceled.
Also just a heads up, after you have run the gradle command it might say something like this:
The code server is ready.
Next, visit: http://localhost:9876/
Building 91% > :html:superDev
Even though it says 91%, don't worry it will still work, just go here to run it: http://localhost:8080/html/, NOT the url mentioned in the log.
Also to deploy you need to run ./gradlew html:dist to generate production code, you want to copy everything inside ./html/build/dist/ to your server. Running that command produces the code in that directory. https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/a/82588/54396
I was able to make GWT work with libgdx simply by:
downloading (http://www.gwtproject.org/download.html) the GWT SDK,
extracting it,
then in the project structure -> project-name-html -> dependencies,
just press the + and add the extracted GWT directory
A dialog appears and I just unticked all the samples
The "Dependencies Storage Format" needed to be "Intellij IDEA", not Eclipse for this to work for me.

Reference errors building OpenCV Android CVCamera_MSER sample app

I'm relatively new to Android development, as well as OpenCV. I've tried out some OpenCV samples found with the sdk (using OpenCV2.4.2), as well as some here offered by Stanford University. The first two samples by Stanford worked fine (histogram equalization and color histogram). However I've spent almost a week now trying to get the remaining three to run.
I've already installed Android ndk and tried a hello world android app using ndk once and the three sample projects in question seem to all need native code (thus ndk).
On selecting the project in eclipse the console reads:
<terminated> Native Builder CVCamera_MSER [Program] C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe
/usr/bin/bash: 1ine 0: cd: /home/Davidchen/opencv/android/apps/cvCamera_MSER: No such file or directory
I tried building the native project using the commands in the command line (as I understood from here):
cd {project path}
{ndk path}/ndk-build
However scores of errors appeared, all reference-related, since there are inumerable references to home/DavidChen. There is no folder on my computer named DavidChen. My guess is that there is a reference somewhere to the project path within the cygwin home folder of the project's author. I still cannot find where this faulty reference is specified however so that I could alter it to an existing one instead; I've looked into the paths and symbols under the C/C++ General Project Properties in eclipse as well as the source files, both native code and java code.
When I've tried it on cgywin's console, it still didn't work.
The errors are upon trying to run the project CVCamera_MSER, under the project video titled Local Feature Points found in the link provided above (also [here][14] for convenience). I've also tried running the projects Edges, Lines, and Circles and Feature Tracking with no success.
I'm using Eclipse Indigo Service Release 2 running on Windows7 x64bit.
Thank you for your time.

How to run GWT RequestFactory Validation Tool on Eclipse project

I've got a Android AppEngine Connected Project I'm trying to build using GWT2.4 RequestFactory and Objectify on my Eclipse IDE.
Apparently I need to run the RequestFactory Validation Tool because I'm using ServiceName and ProxyForName annotations (these are required especially when working on the Android client side). My problem is the Eclipse can't validate it and the solution provided at http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/RequestFactoryInterfaceValidation#IDE_configuration is enough to make me rip my eyes out.
Since I'm working on a Windows machine, the shell script provided is not very useful. Trying to run Validation Tool from a cmd propt returns the error message:"This tool must be run with a JDK, not a JRE"
Can someone explain how this Tool is supposed to be run? Is there a way to use it as an External Tool in eclipse?
Normally if you follow carefully the instructions in the link you show, and run the GWT Development Mode from Eclipse, the Validation should be done automatically at the time you access the development URL with your browser.
For the record, I've actually had some problems with it, but launching the application several times maked it work.
Well, I ran into the same problem as well. When I tried annotation processing (under Java Compiler-> Annotation processing )was being disabled. So RequestFactoryDeobfuscatorBuilder was not being generated. Try enabling that and rebuilding your project.
I've just recovered from two days of hunting this bug down in a project that used to run validation properly but stopped.
In my case I had a new-ish generic BaseRequestContext and a specific sub-interface that extended it. My parent interface declared a method that didn't match the Locator's exactly (e.g. getThing(T) vs get(T)) and this wasn't reported as an error but did stop the validation tool from completing.
Apt is also removed in Java 8 : http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/117 . So beware.
Switching back to Java 7 will fix the issue if you are using Java 8.
I understood why the error happens sometimes in a project: the compiler was complaining it cannot find the directory .apt . But when I tried to create it manually it was not possible (under windows). I think the validation tool mutes the exception of not being able to create the directory: try renaming .apt in your validation tool calls (do a text search in your project)
