Setting up Spell Checker in Texlipse under Windows 7 - eclipse

I researched this problem but all the tutorials I found didn't work for me. Probably because I couldn't find a single one that was dedicated to Windows users?
I am having trouble to spell check my current latex document in texlipse. I downloaded the en.dict here (http://sourceforge.net/projects/texlipse/files/dictionaries/) put it into some folder and pointed the texlipse spell checker to that folder (just the folder. the file itself wasn't shown in the eclipse browser) under Windows -> Preferences -> Texlipse -> Spell Checker -> Directory for main dictionaries. Furthermore I enabled latex spell checking under ... -> General -> Editors -> Text editors -> spelling.
Then I set up the project again to make sure it is set to "en" as the projects language, but still. nothing gets highlighted and if I click on latex -> Spell check, I get the error:
running: null
Error running spell checker

I am so sorry for posting this question. In the moment I posted it, I went back to Eclipse and I saw the first highlighted words... Guess it works now :/

Ecplise "mark occurrences" in HTML editor

I wonder why the option "mark occurrences" isn't available (the button is grayed-inactive) when editing HTML files (*.html, *.htm extension). Is there an option to enable this feature in HTML editor in Ecplise (i'm running Eclipse Mars.2)?
I had your same problem with Aptana's HTML editor, and was finally able to resolve the issue.
First check to make sure this option is selected (by Default in Aptana for HTML, it is not). Go to Windows -> Preferences -> Aptana Studio ->Editors -> HTML. The very first option needs to be checked: "Mark occurrences with background color".
If the above did not work, you could try checking to see if you also have an additional installed software in Aptana that might be causing a conflict (this is actually what corrected my issue). I did have an additional software program added to aptana (called "Colorer"), which unbeknownst to me was disabling this functionality. If you have similar add-ins added to your installation, and they are not crucial to your workflow, I suggest removing them if the first option did not fix your issue. Once I removed my add-in, my Mark Occurrences for HTML (and CSS) came back to life.

Eclipse add custom syntax highlighting based on extension

I've recently started developing with Kivy using Eclipse. I'd like to add some basic syntax coloring for .kv file-types. I've tried googling how to do this but nothing came up. This could also be handy for other filetypes not normally recognized by eclipse.
In my case I wanted that eclipse recognize .fo (Apache FOP, a XML FileType) extensions. It means use XML editor to open .fo
I use the next steps in eclipse-kleper:
Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Content Types
Then in fisrt box
Text -> XML -> XML Schema File -> Add... -> *.fo (in dialog box)
If Kivy files has a known structure by editor it should work.
I hope it helps you.

Eclipse Java EE Indigo 's XML formatting is suddenly screwed up

A few days ago it was just fine. I haven't made any change to the IDE or anything else in the preferences.
Looks like random instability, but I hope I'm wrong, I don't want to go through the IDE setup again.......
Here are two screenshots to tell the story:
Before Ctrl+Shift+F (format):
After (format results):
What can I do about it?
I've tried comparing settings in another Eclipse setup that I have which has XML formatting working properly. (Window -> Preferences -> XML -> XML Files -> Editor). Also (Structured Text Editors).
Solved.
It looks like "Android Common XML Editor" took over, and the above crappy formatting belongs to it.
All I had to do is right click on the XML file and choose Open With -> XML Editor.
You can revert the default editor for XML files to be the original XML Editor at Preferences / General / Editors / File Associations:

Eclipse CDT indexing not working to find declarations within the project

I have installed Eclipse & CDT plugin on newly installed Ubuntu. The indexing is set to "Fast indexing" which is recommended ("Full Indexing" seems to have marginal difference).
At so many places, if I press 'F3' ('show declaration') on any class name or include file name, the cursor remains stand still and it doesn't lead to the declaration. However, it works for standard files and symbols like, stdio.h, std::vector and so on.
For example, I have 2 files,
/home/myself/Workspace/Project/X/Y/include/file.h
/home/myself/Workspace/Project/X/src/file.cpp
I am not able to see any declaration of any class or variables displayed in file.cpp which are residing inside file.h. Even pressing 'F3' on #include"file.h", I am not able to go to file.h.
Eclipse Workspace is created at Workspace folder the C++ project is created at Project folder. To store the include path, I have followed this procedure in Eclipse:
Project -> Properties -> C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols -> Library and Paths -> Add "/Project/X/Y/include/file.h" (used 'Workspace' and 'FileSystem' tabs both)
But still no luck. I have done enough searching on internet and SO, but couldn't find anything useful. Note that, I am using eclipse only for code browsing and not for building the code as of now.
Ok, got it working. Actually whatever include paths I have included in Paths and Symbols are redundant and they make no difference as everything under Workspace/Project will be indexed.
The solution is very weird and it's related to scalability, which I came to know from this link. In Eclipse go to,
Window -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Editor -> Scalability -> "Enable scalability mode when ..."
Set a huge number such as 500000 and press "OK". The problem was solved! For my case the actual set value was 5000 and the source file I was seeing was of 16k+ lines.

How do I get Aptana to recognize .jspf files?

How do I get Aptana to recognize .jspf files?
I'd like to have syntax highlighting for .jspf files. I'm sure there's a preference/config option or an xml file to edit, but I'm not finding it.
I assume it's similar to the eclipse process, so I'm tagging eclipse, too. If it's not, I'll remove the tag.
I hope this is what you mean but you can set your file assosiations in Eclipse usually like this (and yes, Apatana is Eclipse based so it should work the same way):
Window -> Preferences
Then
General -> Editors -> File Associations
Select *.jspf and move or add the Aptana Editor you want to use by default.
