Perl IDE Padre: how to format the source code - perl

How can I have something like in eclipse, highlight the lines, right click Source --> Format, and make the code line up nicely.

There is a tool called Perl::Tidy which is highly configurable that does auto formatting of Perl code. Padre has a plugin to use it. You can find the documentation here.
Padre has a plugin called Padre::Plugin::PerlTidy that provides integration with the above module. It uses the default settings of perltidy or the settings of the current project to tidy the current file or the current selection in the editor.
It probably will use the .perltidyrc config file in your project directoy, though I am note sure about that.

Finally I figured out. First download the plugin gzip from here: search.cpan.org/~azawawi/Padre-Plugin-PerlTidy-0.22/lib/Padre/…, then install it from Tools --> Module Tools --> Install Local Distribution. Then from Tools --> Plugin Manager, enable the Perl Tidy. Finally I can see this menu: Tools/Perl Tidy/Tidy the Active Document, as mentioned here padre.perlide.org/features/perl-tidy.html.

Gtkmm in Eclipse makefile project: "could not be resolved"

I am trying to migrate a custom C++ project which uses Gtkmm3.0 to Eclipse (Oxygen) on Ubuntu 16.04. The project has its own Makefile and builds fine from the terminal within Eclipse. What I have not been able to do so far is tell the indexer about Gtkmm, and I get lots of these (which is very annoying):
When I hover over the little red bugs, it says:
Type 'Cairo::RefPtr<Cairo::Context>' could not be resolved.
I have done a lot of Googling on this and found nothing so far because all answers seem to assume the project's build tools are managed by Eclipse (See this or this, for example). In my case I have a makefile project instead of an executable project and hence some options are not available to me. For example, the first links speaks about configuring the builder:
We have to add all this directories. On Eclipse select the Project->Properties menu option. Select C/C++ Build->Settings property page and GNU C++ Compiler->Directories from the Tool Settings tab. Now we have to add all directories. In my case (Makefile project) only two tabs are available there: Binary Parsers and Error Parsers.
How can I tell the Eclipse indexer I am using Gtkmm3.0?
Found the solution that works for me:
Open a terminal and enter:
pkg-config --cflags gtkmm-3.0
You will see a list of includes directories (starting with -I). These are the directories you want to add in Eclipse so that it can locate the Gtkmm symbols in the editor.
In Eclipse, go to:
Project -> Properties -> C++ General -> Paths and Symbols
In the Includes tab, select GNU C++. You need to add here add the include directories found in step 1. There is no automated way to do this, yo must enter them one by one.
One trick that can save you some time is to edit manually the Eclipse project setting XML file and add the include directories directly in the XML file. By the end, you should have something that looks like this:
That did it for me, hope this helps!

Add ttcn3 syntax highlighting to eclipse

I don't work with ttcn3 full-time, what I need is just basic syntax highlighting and commenting on Ctrl+/ added to eclipse.
After some googling I discovered Eclipse Titan, but it seems to be a full-blown IDE for ttcn3 with compiler and stuff, and I need just a plugin to eclipse.
I would like to find something like "Set syntax: ttcn3" from SublimeText, is it possible in eclipse?
if you go to this link:
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.titan/downloads
you will find that you can download the Titan plugins for Eclipse (today they look like this):
Eclipse plug-ins 6.2.0
You may want to install them in your current Eclipse and find out if that is what you are after.
Gustavo.
After installing the plugin
1.change the nature of your ttcn project for "TITAN Nature" this way:
Project popup>Properties>Project Natures>Add...>TITAN Nature.
(if this is not enough:)
2.Select Window>Preferences>TITAN Preferences>On-the-fly checker>Enable parsing of TTCN-3, ASN.1 and runtime configuration files
(You can also set perspective TITAN Editing/Titan Executing/TITAN Log Viewer)

Liclipse - Javascript

In the pydev liclipse editor how do add javascript folders so that it doesn't show errors in javascript files, such as $ is undefined (doesn't know jquery is also loaded when file is run).
I have tagged it with eclipse but this is a fork built around pydev "liclipse" so i don't see "javascript" as a project type.
TIA
Well, the LiClipse validator currently integrates JSHint internally (with Rhino), and there's no option to disable it...
Still, you can add a comment to the top of the file so that it knows that some symbols are expected to be undefined.
I.e.: if you add:
/*global $:false,alert:false*/
to the top of your file, the $ and alert symbols won't be triggered as not-defined.
I don't know anything about liclipse, so can't be certain my answer is correct. But I'd guess you will need to install some Javascript tooling in order to properly handle javascript code and projects. The options for Eclipse are not great, but there are JSDT and VJet.

Is it possible to add external command line tools to Netbeans?

Is it possible to use external command line tools in Netbeans?
Thank you.
After searching and searching and searching, this feature is just missing in netbeans although it would absolutely straightforward to implement and has been ask by user for 2 more than years...
Regards,
Stéphane
There is a Terminal window in NetBeans 7:
Open the menu, Window -> Output -> Terminal
What about using an Ant target? Ant files are quite comfortable to run from Netbeans.
<exec executable="${executable-full-path}" ...
The best option I've found is to use jmarsault's plugin that he calls NetBeans Command Shortcuts. This give you an icon in the command line where you can add command and terminal scripts to run. The display shows in the output window.
Installation files are available here and he has kept it up to date with the newest versions of NetBeans.
NetBeans Command Shortcut plugin
Installation:
Download the .nbm file for your version of NetBeans
Open Tools / Plugins / Downloaded / Add Plugins...
Select the .nbm file and allow the installation of the plugin.
In since at least version 9.0, there are two decent options:
Just create a script file. (I think you need the C++ plugin for this. Otherwise you have to create it outside NetBeans or as a text file.) In my case I created a JLinkGDBServer.sh that just executes JLinkGDBServer as a prerequisite to start an embedded debug session. This automatically sends the executable's output to a NetBeans terminal.
Add a tool to Tools/Options/Miscellaneous/SendTo. SendTo is a pop-up menu item for certain project entities, for example files but not the project. In my case, I could add a SendTo running the executable and use it by right-clicking on for example the .elf file (although for the GDB server I don't need any file name as an argument).

netbeans jvi vimrc file location

I have started using netbeans vim plugin Jvi and i cant seem to find the vimrc file location
I found an option that seem to say that it will save the vimrc in the home folder, but there isnt one there.
I am using Ubuntu.
thanks
jVi does not support vimscript, so it does not handle a vimrc file. As mentioned, you can configure jVi in NetBeans with
Tools > Options > jViConfig
For most vi-like systems the .vimrc file is optional - if it is there, the program will use it, if it isn't it'll just use the defaults.
From a brief look at the jVi sourceforge page it seems as if the settings in the GUI are equivalent to creating a .vimrc file - so you can either set the details there, or create your own .vimrc.
