I recently installed GGTS. It's been good so far but it's starting to annoy me how the dashboard (window) keeps showing up on start up. I checked the preferences but there's nothing there that switches it off. I attempted to uninstall the feature, but the GGTS won't allow me.
You are probably running into this bug: STS-3935. The dashboard is supposed to stay closed when you close it, but in some situations in STS 3.6.2 it doesn't.
If you upgrade to a newer version of STS the problem should go away. If you do not want to upgrade your STS, you can also try running with JDK 8 (so you'll get the new dashboard which is not subject to the bug).
Or, another workaround suggested in the bug-report is to open manually edit the preferences file at workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.springsource.ide.eclipse.dashboard.ui.prefs and add or change the line:
org.springsource.ide.eclipse.dashboard.uidashboard.startup=false
Read the bug report if you need more details.

So very weird, first time I ever saw this, problem install STS version 3.8.3-release on Macbook Pro running mac osSerria v10.12.3. Here's what's I do:
Down load the STS distro spring-tool-suite-3.8.3.RELEASE-e4.6.2-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz from https://spring.io/tools/sts/all
Move the zip file to my Applications folder
Extract the distro. This creates the sts-bundle folder, and; under that, the STS programs exists.
I then just run STS. Since this is a first-time I do get the pop-up for selecting the default workspace. I change it to where I want the workspace and I also check the "Don't ask again".
Install some plug-ins, do work, everything is normal.
I can exit the app throughout the day and, when I go back in all is cool.
Now...the problem...
1. Shutdown the laptop for the day. This is to say I select Apple->Shut Down..
2. The next day I come in, boot-up the laptop.
3. Open Applications and select STS and run STS.
At this point, I get the "Select default workspace" popup again...all my preferences, and installed plug-ins are forgotten, and it's like I'm running the application again for the first time?? It is especially weird that any plug-ins I installed are also forgotten??
I have completely removed STS, and reinstalled several times and it is pretty consistent. Also, I have installed STS on several iMac desktops without issue. This smells like a permissions problem but not errors just...all customized preferences are simply gone.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
The answer to this is App Translocation, which is done by OSX. For details, take a look here, we analyzed this in detail:
STS.app on Mac 10.12.1 always creates a new org.springsource.sts folder in .eclipse
When I go to the "Boot Dashboard" (Update: actually I see similar messages on each Spring view) view I see the message
Could not create the view: org.springframework.ide.eclipse.boot.dash.views.BootDashView
There is an icon to see the error logs beside it, so I deleted them, reopened STS, and I did not see any error.
Any guidance on how to resolve this or further debug it?

After following Martin's advice and opening the Host OSGi Console and typing ss to get the short status and doing diag <id> on a few different things all I was ever able to get was similar to this,
org.springframework.ide.eclipse.boot.dash [962]
No resolution report for the bundle.
Martin mentioned looking for INSTALLED, but all I saw were ACTIVE, RESOLVED, STARTING, and <<LAZY>>. I ran diag on at least one bundle of each state, but got nothing any different than above (of course the names and IDs were different).
I was facing the similar issue with Spring Boot Dash view and using -clean option and restart STS worked for me.
Just faced the same issue upgrading to latest STS 3.8.3 based on Neon.2 (4.6.2). Starting with the -clean option did nothing for me, neither did uninstalling / reinstalling the Groovy Eclipse feature as discussed.
What resolved it for me was switching to a new clean workspace - the boot dashboard then started working again. Oddly, it also works if I now switch back to the old workspace. Before this, the module was showing as LAZY in the Host OSGi console, now it's ACTIVE:
966 ACTIVE org.springframework.ide.eclipse.boot.dash_3.8.3.201612191259-RELEASE
The problem was one of my Groovy Eclipse compiler plugins (it was 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, or 2.2, not sure which). After uninstalling it the Boot Dashboard no longer has an error.
Since part of my question was wondering about how to get better insight into the problem (more than checking the error log, which was empty) I will not mark this answer as accepted.
My Netbeans has been insanely fast for over 2 years, until this morning. Something strange, however, is now happening. Every time i press "copy and paste" ... so CTRL-C, it goes slow. This is what I see:
So, the moment I press CTRL-C, that shows in the bottom, my entire machines goes into super slow mode, and then 5 seconds later it stops.
I've considered maybe there's a keylogger on my machine, but can't find anything. And it's only slow when I copy and paste from Netbeans, nothing else. Maybe Netbeans is sending data out some other way?
Any ideas why Netbeans would just go slow like this?
UPDATE
I only have one project open
I've disabled the git and subversion plugins
I am working on a Laravel project
It's slow when I copy from a VIEW or when I copy from a CONTROLLER (I know css files often go a bit slow because of Parsing, so I figured mentioning this is probably worthwhile)
I followed the advice at the end of this article: here and uninstalled "BlueStacks". Problem solved.
UPDATE
Just in case the article gets deleted, here is the advice the user gives on that page:
I meet the same problem. When I copy a word in the IDE, the IDE does not response until 2 or 3 seconds. I did not confront this problem until few days ago. I try to use the latest netbeans and the latest jdk, but that does not work. Then I find someone said http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5078787 is the problem. And the problem is somewhat about the COM in windows. So I try to install the netbeans to another Win7 PC, and the problem is gone. In that case, I guess the problem is not the netbeans, but some other application in windows. Later I uninstall some of the application I just installed few days ago. And the IDE works right now. The applications I uninstalled is "imc studio" "imc license manager" and "blueStacks" an android simulator. I guess these application may have influence to the COM of Win7. Hope my solution will help to this bug.
You can also just stop the BlueStacks Agent process from Task Manager while you're using NetBeans.
I am having a small problem with plugins not staying installed with Coda 2.2 for Mac on OSX 10.6. Every time I close Coda and open it back up and then click on plugins half of them are gone even though the are in the plugins folder for the application. I have to close Coda and uninstall and reinstall the plugin then open it back up. That is only good until I close it then it starts all over again. Is there anything I can do or is there something I am overlooking that is causing this to happen?
-Thanks
I've been working with Panic support and we've discovered there's an issue with certain plugins. Most likely, it's only one that's problematic. For me, it was WVCPs plugin. Removing that from the plugin folder allows all other plugins to work fine.
I found it helpful looking at the Console app for messages from Coda and one by one dropped the plugins back into the plugins folder until I found the one that caused an error about incompatible architecture.
You can ignore the error about two plugins implementing the same class, that seems to be a mutual exclusion sort of warning but still allows the other plugins to work.
One other plugin had a different error but again, appears to work fine so probably it was just a warning.
This is probably your best solution until Panic push out an update, which I am assured is on the way.
Hope that helps!
First of all this question has been asked at least twice.
I tried several approaches with no effect.
Here's the problem:
When I try to download/update plugins like EclEmma, Eclipse starts to communicate with the repository and that takes about 5 minutes. After that I get an error:
"An error occured while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(...)
Unable to read repository at http: (...)
Read time out
(... for every *.jar)"
What I was trying to fix the problem was running eclipse as an admin (got vista x86 running) and changing the connection properties from native to direct and back. I also tried deleting saved repositories and adding again. No effect at all.
I have no proxy configured and don't need one.
This is getting kind of personal between me and my IDE :D
So I hope you guys can help me out.
Thanks Zoltán (köszi :D), but i found the error last night.
Resolution
After hours of debugging I figured out that AVG Anti-Virus Software blocks the request. After deactivating it for temporarily, Eclipse installed the new software.
In my case timeout was caused by definition of SOCKS proxy... we have proxy.company.com:80 and I incorrectly provided that proxy to all three (HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS) connection schemas. Removal of proxy from SOCKS resolved the problem
Try to open the internal web browser of Eclipse (Window menu/Show view/Other...), and navigate to the 1) update site url, and 2) to any webpage.
If the latter one is not working, then Eclipse does not have connection to the internet, and you should try to open a new workspace, and try installing from there (possibly something wrong in the workspace settings).
If the second one works, but the first one does not, that suggests that the update site is not working. In this case report to the developers.
I also had this problem (my system: Win7, jdk7, Eclipse Indigo).
I installed jre6, changed my JAVA_HOME, ran eclipse with the following:
eclipse -debug -consolelog -vm 'c:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe'
Install the plugins/updates, then switch back to using jdk7.
Worked for me!
Temporarily disabling AVG firewall fixed the issue for me.
Eclipse then installed the Android plugin.
In my case, adding these lines to eclipse.ini solved the problem
-vmargs (this one was alreayd there)
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
