In my older version of eclipse, I used to get the line number:column number at the status bar.
But when I upgraded to eclipse Juno, it is missing.
I am aware of the print margin settings but I want the column number to be displayed.
Is there a way out for enabling or displaying the line number : column number?

I was doing debugging with having a lots of expressions in Expressions Window. Then I mistakenly dragged Values column of Expressions window in eclipse and suddenly I was not able see any of Name and Value columns along with any of my expressions in expression window.
This is how it looks:
Also, I am not finding Display View window in eclipse:
I tried to reset the perspective and also restart the eclipse. However, nothing changed. What is happening with me?
I am running
Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers.
Version: 2018-12 (4.10.0)
Build id: 20181214-0600
In the view menu (the triangle top right) of the Expressions view you can choose which columns to show: Layout > Select Columns...
By selecting other columns here, the column width is reset (in case a column width was accidentally set to 0). By default, the Name and the Value columns are shown.
In Eclipse Photon (4.8) the Display view has been renamed to Debug Shell.
When I press Ctrl+Shift+F
This line:
A
winterwell.jtwitter.Status status = twitter.updateStatus(statuses[0]);
Is formatted like this
B
winterwell.jtwitter.Status status = twitter
.updateStatus(statuses[0]);
I want to keep it like in A.
That is occurring because of your Maximum line width setting. You might want to increase yours, or look at the other options available for wrapping.
Go to Window > Preferences... Java > Code Style > Formatter > Edit...
Maximum line width
In my case helped Eclipse restart after I realised setting Maximum line width to 500 didn't help :-D
.. probably some kind of bug of:
Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2)
Build id: 20150219-0600
I've tried changing all of the line wrapping parameters, both increasing and decreasing the maximum line length for source and comments, as well as disabling comment formatting. However, I'm unable to affect the code formatter's line-splitting behavior. No matter what changes I make to the format, line splitting occurs at 120 characters for both comments and source code. I've also tried upgrading eclipse from 3.6 to 3.7.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Right-click on your project and go to Properties
Check if Java Code Style > Formatter > Enable project specific settings is checked
If so, check the Active profile
My guess is that there was a different Active profile selected than the one you were editing. Deleting the project and recreating it caused the project to return to the default code style profile, where Enable project specific settings is unchecked.
Did you change the lines width from :
Preferences > Java > Code Style > Formatter >> then editing the maximum line width ?
I don't want to have to download and install eclipse on this machine, but for you who do have it, what is the first line on the Eclipse IDE? On the left after you enable line numbers in the left hand column, the first number is?
In the Java source editor, at least, the first line number is 1.
This is not an Eclipse-programming question, but rather a question about the Eclipse user-interface in general.
I am writing a verilog source-code in an Eclipse text-editor using the simplifIDE plug-in. I want to align my code so that variable names always start at offset 33 (32 spaces from the left margin)
Does Eclipse have an option for displaying the current cursor position in a status bar? I'd even be happy with a keyboard shortcut that would pop the current cursor-position up in an dialog.
In the absence of a solution, I'll set my tabs to 4-spaces, and put the following text at random places in my file:
//..5...9...13..17..21..25..29..33..37..41..45..49..53..57..61..65..69..73..77..81..
Some editors (such as the built in Java editor) display the current insertion point location in the status bar. However, if you use a third-party editor sch as SimplifIDE, you may have to check its own configuration for that option.
If you write your own editor, you could ask the editor to give you the selection provider, as the selection provider can also provide the current insertion point location.
Using Eclipse 3.5 with the SimplifIDE plugin, I am seeing the correct information for the line and column on a status bar on the bottom of the screen with a {line : column} format using either tabs or spaces.
thedeserthorizon, Are you using 3.5 and the version 1.0.26 of Simplifide.
There is a new API in 3.5 which allows you to listen to cursor movements (see this bug). Then, you can ask for the index of the first character in the current line and subtract that from the absolute cursor position. This gives you the offset in characters.
This is not accurate though; if your editor supports real tabs, then you must query the editor for the current line and count characters yourself (where the tab counts as 2..8 character positions).
