I want my rcp plugin without the default title bar and border. I have tried configuerer.setshellstyle (SWT.No_TRIM). But it does not work.
How can i do it?
Unfortunately in Eclipse 4 the setShellStyle call is being ignored (see Eclipse bug 432501).
You might be able to use the 'styleOveride' value in the LegacyIDE.e4xmi file to set the style (more details here)

I am using Eclipse Neon.3 (4.6.3). In the past, Eclipse used to have several tabs on the bottom of the editor window, when a file was opened in the Properties File Editor mode. There you could choose to view the file either in a table-like view or as a plain text file.
I usually edit my resource files in plain text, which still works fine. However, the table view had one nice feature: Duplicate entries were highlighted in red color in the table-view.
But this view is no longer available, since there are no tabs in the Properties File Editor anymore. Did I miss anything? Where has this tab gone? Do I need an additional plug-in for this feature? As far as I can tell, this used to be a built-in feature of Eclipse.
I still had an old installation of Eclipse Mars and found out, that the feature in question is not built-in to Eclipse. The feature is provided by the JBoss Tools Properties Editor, which is part of Red Hat's Hibernate Tools.
To install on Eclipse Mars, follow the instructions of this StackOverflow post.
How to use menu item tooltips? When I add a new menu item in fragment.e4xmi there is a "tooltip" text field in properties editor window, but when I run the application I see no tooltips. Should I do something tricky to enable them? I've seen on the Internet that it was an issue before, but I assume it should be already fixed since properties editor suggests me to enter a tooltip. Setting tooltip via setTooltip() method programmatically doesn't work either. I use Mars.1 Release (4.5.1).
I think this is Eclipse bug 473779. Tool tips for menu items don't work in Eclipse 4.5.2 and earlier. This has been fixed in Eclipse Neon (4.6.0) due to be released shortly (June 2016).
I confirmed this testing on Mac OS X. Eclipse 4.5.2 doesn't show tool tips, Eclipse 4.6.0 does.
I don't want to show title in eclipse title bar. Please provide me the way to do it.
Depending on exactly what you want, this might not be possible.
For the Eclipse IDE and all the Eclipse editions you can find on the Eclipse.org download site, this is not possible.
For you own RCP based application, this is easy, as you just need to set the title in the ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor
I'm using Eclipse and I don't like the appearance of the user interface, it's to much white color in the background. I have used Eclipse earlier, and then it was better with not all that white area! I have been looking in the preference, but have not found any places to change the user interface. Is there a theme that could be changed !?
Open your Eclipse Market Place and search for "Eclipse Color Theme",install it.
than go to windows> preferences> appearances> color theme, select your favorite style, and enjoy.

In Eclipse Juno (4.2) it's possible to completely customize the look and feel of Eclipse via CSS, but doing so yourself isn't exactly trivial. You can get the "old" style theme (Indigo) easily via changing a Preference, see this question.

Spring STS is based on Eclipse. It contains tutorials which run showing some text in separate eclipse view and automatically manipulating IDE windows providing examples for a student.
I wonder, how is it possible to change the font size in a window showing help text? It is entitled "Task-Focused tutorials". Is it possible to identify view type or something to locate the setting in "Colors and Fonts" section of Eclipse settings gui?
