eclipse is not installing at all - eclipse

I've installed jdk-8u65-windows-i586.exe and downloaded the latest version of Eclipse IDE.
When I double click on the eclipse-inst-win31.exe absolutely nothing happens.
MY OS is Windows Vista.
How can I resolve this problem?

Make sure you have a working java sdk in java_home variable - type java - version in cmd prompt
If you don't, reinstall java sdk and eclipse it should start.

Instead of using the Eclipse installer (which is still a rather new part of the Eclipse downloads), just take one of the complete distributions (scroll down below the installer on the download page).
While the installer first needs to download additional pieces from the Internet, those distributions are ready to start developing.

How do I know if a software is 64bit or 32bit (x64 or x32)

I wanted to install J2ME and configure it with Netbeans. I followed two different tutorials word by word but somehow mine would give me many errors. After so much searching I realized that the JDK, Netbeans and J2ME must all be of the same level ie. all to be of x32 or all to be of x64. Now, how do I know what level is each of them at?
How do I know if NetBeans is x32 or x64, as well as JDK and J2ME?
I am using JDK 1.8, Netbeans 8.2, J2ME 3.4
For Java, you can do java -version, and it'll tell you what version you have.
I did a quick look around for the other two but couldn't find anything immediately. However, if you search something like "check bit version for Netbeans/J2ME" then you might get it.
Another way to figure out would be based on your OS. Depending on how new/old it is, it might require certain bit version. You probably installed the correct one (or you should uninstall and re-install the correct one based on their respective installation guide), so you should know what bit version when you first installed.
For Netbeans and J2ME just open them, then open the Task Manager. On the list of Apps, the version of the software is shown as shown below.
About JDK, Open your C Drive and look for the installation folder of your JDK. If it is installed in the Program File folder then it is x64, if it is in the Program File(x86) then it is x32.

Eclipse hangs while creating a node.js express project

I have Eclipse 3.7 on Windows XP. I have also installed NodeEclipse. I can create a regular node project fine. But when I try to create a new express project, eclipse just hands and I cannot even close the window. Killing the process is the only option. Is this a known issue?
Get the latest version of eclipse, and run it using the latest version of JDK, first off.
You can also configure your eclipse.ini to allow it to use more memory.
Here is an answer to another question that had a similar problem: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2610261/1073118
Just note that it depends on your system, and whether your eclipse is 32bit or 64bit

Qt application made in Eclipse doesn't start

I've been trying for a few hours now to make eclipse, mingw and Qt work, and I can't manage to.
No matter what I try, when I try to run the qt application (using Run or Debug, same thing), no window appears, and after a few seconds, Eclipse says 'program terminated'. Another time I tried (using some different configurations), windows would give that "Program has stopped" error.
If I try to launch the application from outside eclipse, I get a missing .dll error.
I have Qt 4.8.1 installed, latest version of eclipse, and I just installed the latest version of MinGW. I am also using the Qt plugin for Eclipse. I'm running Windows 7.
There are also some other minor problems:
For some reason I have to rebuild the index after opening/creating a project, or I'll get 'undefined include' errors.
The build (hammer) icon in the toolbar is grayed/disabled, why could that be?
For every new project, I need to change the make application to mingw32-make, is it possible to make the toolchain use this make executable or something?
I can't understand why Microsoft Visual Studio just works, I didn't have to set up anything other than install the Qt add-in, and Eclipse is so hard to configure...

How do I build and install a plugin for KDevelop?

In particular, I am trying to install kdev-control-flow-graph
I have managed to clone the source from git, cmake the source to build a kdevcontrolflowgraphview.so installed to /usr/local/lib, but when I restart kdevelop, I can find no sign of the plugin!
Under the Loaded Plugins window, it doesn't show up, and I can't seem to find a way to tell it about the existence of the new plug-in.
I am running KDevelop Version 4.2.3 using KDE Development Platform 4.7.2 on Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Make sure that "/usr/local/lib" is in your KDEDIRS var, and run "kbuildsyscocoa4 --noincremental"
If that doesn't work, perhaps the plugin's .desktop file needs to have its version modified.
Also note that you aren't running KDE Development Platform 4.7.2 because that doesn't exist (you probably mean KDE 4.7.2), you should be running KDevplatform 1.2.3.

Configuring Blackberry Eclipse plugin for 4.70 or 5.0 components

I am looking for help in configuring the Blackberry development environment. In fact, it is quite a frustrating process. The blackberry site is pretty useless. Between links that have been moved, details that are assumed and documents that are out of date it is proving very difficult to get anywhere with blackberry development.
Pheww, now that my rant is done. Here is my problem:
I have finally got the JDE for Eclipse working (that is a story in itself). However, my blackberry workspace is only giving me the option of targeting the 4.5 JDE components. How do I update it to use the 4.7 components?
It would be preferable to have step-by-step instructions but I would appreciate any help that can be provided.
Here are the details:
I have Java jdk1.6.0_14
Eclipse version 3.4.1
I have installed the Blackberry JDE 4.7
I have installed the Blackberry JDE Component Package 4.7
I have installed the Blackberry Smartphone simulators 4.7
Totally agreed - it's not at all obvious what to do. I've never had luck using their update site, so I just download and install the component packs manually:
Download the "Eclipse Software Update for the BlackBerry JDE v4.7 Component Pack" from the BlackBerry developer zone (it's a zip file)
From Eclipse open the Help menu and choose Software Updates
Click on the Available Software tab
Click Add Site
Choose Archive and select your zip file
Make sure everything under the JDE 4.7 tree is checked
Click Install and continue through the wizard
You are a life saver!!!!!!!!!!! This worked perfectly. I understand the frustration. If this. If this doesn't work I would recommend deleteing the entire directory and reinstalling eclipse.
You should already have JDK installed:
This is what I downloaded for 64bit windows:jdk-6u16-windows-x64.exe get one that matches your OS. Should be jdk version 6.
I installed this version: Should work for windows x86 and 64bit:
eclipse-java-ganymede-SR2-win32.zip
Other versions shouldn't work. has to be 3.4 but not 3.5 (gallileo) and it has to be for java.
Then I installed the plugin. Then I followed the instructions above and it worked.
eclipse-java-ganymede-SR2-win32.zip does not work with the 64-bit JDK.
You have to use eclipse-SDK-3.4.1-win32-x86_64 with the 64-bit JDK. Once you use these two things together and install the Eclipse Plugin, the installation works fine, but I always get "Cannot find RIMIDEWin32Util.dll. This is a required component of the IDE." and then "Cannot find RIMUsbJni.dll. Without this dll the IDE cannot connect to USB enabled handhelds. Add RIMUsbJni to java.library.path". Both of the supposedly missing files are located in my workspace path under .metadata.plugins\net.rim.eide.bootstrapper\installDlls. I have placed those two files pretty much everywhere I could think of, even c:\windows\system32, and it still claims to not be able to find these files.
Now for the fix....
You can use eclipse-java-ganymede-SR2-win32.zip with the 32-bit JDK. Make sure you add the JDK\bin to your %PATH% environment variable. You can then install the Blackberry JDK Plugin and Component Pack and everything will work!
Note: In order to "Configure Blackberry Workspace" from the Blackberry menu, you must first create a Blackberry project. Found this out the hard way.
