I have loaded up netbeans, and all it is showing me is the history tab when i go to edit my code for my projects. I went on to view >> editors, but the only editor that was there was the History. How do i get the Source tab back?!
For me, similar issue, after fresh installation, was resolved by closing the running Netbeans IDE instance, then renaming the existing Netbeans folder found inside the C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\ on Windows 7.

The files in Navigator and editor tabs keeps disappearing in eclipse workbench.
Eclipse seems to be not interested in fixing the
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=458015
due to the fight between titans, does anyone know the root cause and a patch. Also, directions to build the appropriate plugin jar would be appreciated.
It is also affecting the git staging view so, it should be common problem.
Reference:
Eclipse 4.3 - kepler is working very well with good performance, this bug is introduced from 4.4.
Here is the plugin versions and download link
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/Kepler/SR2
https://projects.eclipse.org/releases/kepler
SourceLink: https://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/
EDIT: Steps to reproduce
Get any version of Eclipse-Windows-64-bit (i used J2ee) from Luna to Oxygen(latest)
create a git project and add multiple files(any files).
You should see these files in git-staging.
Double-click on any file.
You should see only 1 file visible and others will be invisible.
Steps for Editor tabs disappearing
Open multiple files.
Move your mouse over the editor tabs.
You should see tabs disappearing.
ProjectExplorer has a weird issue (Same file shows up twice).
I just installed Eclipse Photon. I migraded one project from Oxygen to it - everything is working fine.
The problem I noticed is that I cannot open the Eclipse Marketplace. Whenever I click on it, I get the loading circle for 1-2 seconds then nothing happens.
I also tried this on a completely new empty workspace (so no old .metadata) - same behavior.
I also restarted PC - didn't help.
Any ideas? Is it me only that has this problem or is it a bug due to the new version?
Thanks.
I managed to find the problem and fix it. I went to:
Help -> About Eclipse IDE -> clicked on "Installation Details" -> tab "Configuration" -> Clicked on "View Error Log"
The default browser opened and there I noticed the following stack trace:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2018-06-28 10:38:21.036
!MESSAGE Unhandled event loop exception
!STACK 0
org.eclipse.e4.core.di.InjectionException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal character in path at index 16: file:/C:/Eclipse Photon/eclipse/configuration/
at org.eclipse.e4.core.internal.di.MethodRequestor.execute(MethodRequestor.java:65)
It was the space character in the folder named by me: "Eclipse Photon". I renamed it to "EclipsePhoton" and the marketplace opened successfully.
Short answer: Make sure you do not have any spaces in the Eclipse installation file path.
I fixed the issue with the solution from this link: https://www.chrisguindon.com/post/marketplace-client-not-opening-in-photon/
Steps:
Go to Help > Install New Software
Paste the Marketplace Client update site url into the “Work with”
field: http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/photon
Select the “EPP Marketplace Client” checkbox
Follow the wizard and restart your Eclipse to finish the
installation.
Addition to actunderdc answer:
He is right. There is a bug if there is a space in the installation path. If you want to install in the Program Files folder, you can use the windows shortnames.
Find the shortname of the folder in cmd by using dir /X. For C:\Program Files it is something like PROGRAM~1.
When you got the shortname, you can add the folowing at the top of your eclipse.ini File in the same directory of the eclipse.exe
-launcher
C:\PROGRAM~1\eclipse\jee\photon
Make sure to adjust it to your installation path. After you have done this, marketplace can be opened. But when I open Help -> About -> Instalation Details -> Configuration it shows me two -launcher parameters with the long and the short name. I don't know, if it could cause sideeffects.
I opened a Bugreport at bugs.eclipse.org.
Had similar problem, this is what I did:
NOTE: If you have any other firewall software then make sure to allow eclipse though it & also check if your computer's time is proper(else leave this).
Open Eclipse >
Help >
Install New Software.. >
Enter link in work with " http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/photon/ " >
(after lodaing) select the EPP Marketplace Client and install it
I had error while installing it, I just allowed eclipse through firewall then marketplace client updated smoothly. Then I restarted eclipse and marketplace opened.
Hope this helps.
I had this problem on my Ubuntu 18.04 machine, none of the above helped.
After hours of searching, I found a working solution: enable theming under Window - Preferences - General - Appearance
I had this disabled, so Eclipse uses my GTK Theme (Arc dark) and looks better.
But enabling it makes Marketplace start again.
The stacktrace in the Eclipse error log (Window - Show View - Error Log) contained a hint that lead me to the theming option.
First when trying to use WindowBuilder (SWT) in Eclipse JEE 4.8 you must remove all spaces from your Eclipse folder name that contains all its files. This first step was discovered via link:
Eclipse Photon - Eclipse Marketplace not launching
Secondly, is this link tells the second half of the mystery. If you go to:
http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/integration/4.8/
you will see on the left hand side "show directory contents" which will have "repository.zip" file as last file of this expanded list. Download this (~39Mb). Note path to this file, then in eclipse click on "help" (last menu item), then click on "Install New Software...", then click "add", then click "archive" and go to path of saved "repository.zip" and select it. You will see square check box now indicates file to install.
I believe one must then click "continue" (check box already checked for WindowBuilder install item), then confirm when all files to be installed show are shown on screen, then finally click "finish". After the file is loaded in archive step I am not sure of the exact verbiage used for remaining steps but I believe what I have said is mostly accurate and after adding archive it will be self evident (piece of cake) what steps to follow. Finally to check if Window builder is installed go to (in top menu items) "file" then "new" then "other" and then finally scroll down list and WindowBuilder should be in this list, otherwise you landed a goose egg and something went wrong.
Change your folder name eclipse photon to eclipsephoton if any space in your folder name its not open Eclipse Marketplace
I had the same problem. I solved it by changing the name of the folder where eclipse was installed, the name i had used for the folder had a space and that was precisely preventing the use of the market place in eclipse, i removed the space and it worked normally.
For Ubuntu 20.04,
Just remove the spaces in your folder name of the eclipse folder and try closing and reopening the eclipse.It will works!!!
I am running Windows XP and Eclipse 4.2.2 Build id: M20130204-1200 and I have lost my Debug and Launch tool bars. I have tried Windows>Reset Perspective (original values) and Window>Customize Perspective's (Tool Bar Visibility and Command Groups Availability) tab options. I have tried the Layout option on Debug view. All failed to bring them back. Right now, I am looking at Tool Bar Visibility tab and a message that says: <"Debug" cannot be made available because it is in the unavailable "null" command group.> However, the Debug checkbox in Command Group Availability is checked.
I have also tried right-click and Reset on the perspective buttons.
Switching to another eclipse installation (same machine) did not help either.
Rebooting does not help.
Are there any text configuration files where this data is stored that can be manipulated outside eclipse?
I had this problem in Eclipse Kepler, it turns out it was caused by PyDev plugin. I fixed it by uninstalling the plugin and right-clicking on the Debug perspective button and selecting Reset.
I had already installed a fresh copy and the problems persisted. But, encouraged by user714965 comments, I tried again but that did not resolve the issue. Then, I threw away all eclipse installation folders (to recycle bin), re-installed fresh copy, and the problem persisted. Then I started a new workspace, and it seemed like the tool bars were back. Then restored previous eclipse installations and they had the Debug toolbar as well!
I am thinking somehow the customization config files were broken. It would be nice to know where the these files are stored (my original question): Are they global for each user on the machine or are they workspace specific? It seems to me that some customizations are global, while others are project specific.
May be it is time to try the new Android Studio :-)
Seems as your eclipse is broken. The fastest way to get it back running will be downloading a fresh copy from eclipse.org. You can continue using your current workspace so your settings will remain. But you have to re-install all plug-ins... I'm always keeping a backup of a fresh release with the plug-ins I'm using. I would suggest you to do the same in the future.
I am working using Eclipse Juno Version: 4.2.2 , but frequently I am facing a problem
Problem 1.
And After clicking ok or cross button another screen is appearing.
Problem 2.
If I click no button then the dialog is disappearing and if I choose Yes then the Eclipse is closing.
This is probably a bug in one of the Eclipse plugins that you use. They don't properly clean up resources (colors, fonts) so Eclipse eventually runs out of handles (= the OS won't give Eclipse any more resources).
The short term solution is to restart Eclipse.
If you want to file a bug report, install the Sleak tool and follow the instructions.
For one try,
Please follow the following steps, First close your eclipse.
Go to your Eclipse Folder
you will find "Features" & "Plugins" folder in it.
Open "Features" folder and search for "org.eclipse.ui" folder or .jar file. If found then cut it & paste on desktop.
Open "Plugins" Folder and search for "org.eclipse.ui" folder or .jar file. If found then cut it & paste on desktop.
Now start your eclipse & try to compile.
It may be possible that while updation it has downloaded improper updation.
I have Eclipse Juno and Force.com IDE. When I try to create new classes they always show: failed to create the part's controls. It worked for the first time, but now they always show this. Same happens if I create them inside the force.com platform.
Error details:
org.eclipse.core.runtime.AssertionFailedException: assertion failed:
at org.eclipse.core.runtime.Assert.isTrue(Assert.java:110)
etc ...
I would appreciate all help.
I had the same error. I fixed it by switching the eclipse workspace. Go to menu File->Switch Workspace->Other, and then select the same workspace you were working with. Eclipse will restart and you should not get the error.
I faced the same issue my default editor for JSP was Web page editor. Which I changed to JSP editor and everything is fine.
PS: To change to JSP editor
Right click on JSP page -->open with jsp .
I got the "failed to create the part's controls" error one day when I opened Eclipse and tried to view a java file I had been working on. When I opened the file I needed, it showed a red X and NullPointerException instead of the code. The error log mentioned "event loop exception" for some reason.
I restarted Eclipse, and the error was still there. I cleaned the project, updated the project, deleted and re-imported the project, deleted and re-imported the file, and the error still was there. As a last resort, I restarted Eclipse again and then the file was fine. So one of the clean/update/delete/import steps worked but I don't know which one.
Use eclipse -clean from command prompt to solve this problem.
I solved my problem like this:
This problem occur because of in eclipse default editor is not able to identify extension of that file. If you right click on file and open it with respective text editor ,problem will be solved
In ecllipse, every file types has some associated default formats and one of the default format set to the particular file type.
You can see this in General -> Editors -> File Associations-
This issue generally occurs when we open any file in the format which is not the default format of the particular types.
I got same issue when I opened one of the Java file in text format in ecllipse and then I started getting the same issue. After research, I observed that AspectJ/Java Editor was setting as default. After reset it to Java Editor, the problem got resolved.
Steps :
1. General -> Editors -> File Associations-
2. Select the content type and choose the default format for it.
3. Restart the ecllipse.
In general, it is some default file format that set in ecllipse causing the same issue.
in my case problem was that the server was resin and I didn't have the resin server extension installed
I solved the problem.
(1)Open the filed with TXT.
(2)Search and Delete the underline between number like:
int a = 10_000;
It works when i compile and run as others used, but it will fail if i save and open again.
I also had for the same problem and fixed it by updating eclipse. Help > Check for Updates.
This worked for me---->
Right click on pom.xml-->open with-->xml editor
Had a similar stacktrace on failed to create the part's controls while trying to open Git repositories view in Git perspective.
My case (cause) is different since I was migrating an Eclipse workspace from an Ubuntu VM to Windows.
Many thing were copied like projects, .git folders, or also .metadata Eclipse folder.
Tried with no success:
uninstall all egit component (installation details, then, install new software
restart eclipse -clean
reset Git repository perspective
I searched and found this invalid UNIX : separator in .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.egit.core.prefs file.
GitRepositoriesView.GitDirectories=/path1/.git\:/path2/.git
Here, the : is invalid path separator on Windows.
I simply removed the value in this line, saved file, and restarted Eclipse:
GitRepositoriesView.GitDirectories=
(alternative: if needed, try to migrate those linux paths to their Windows equivalent too)
Git repositories view is back.
