So this may be a bit mundane, but this is part of my work flow. I like to keep Eclipse in full screen, so I can switch back and forth to browser / remote desktop with ctrl+arrow. The problem is Eclipse (this is ADT, but I don't think it matters?) always starts in non-full screen mode, even if I left it on full screen before I close it
Is there a way to get Eclipse to always start in full screen mode? Or at least remember what state it was in before whenever it starts?
Google search keywords I've tried:
"Eclipse for Mac fullscreen mode" only yields articles about full screen support on Mac OS X Lion (and not about starting it in full screen)
"ADT Mac full screen mode" yields articles about switching Android Emulator to landscape
Additionally I tried to look for "eclipse mac full screen" here on SO and I don't find anything relevant
I'm using ADT 22.6 on Mac OS X Mavericks
Looking through the Eclipse source there does not seem to be any support for this currently.
The SWT Shell.setFullScreen(true) call does switch the app in to Mac full screen mode but Eclipse only uses it when the full screen menu item is used.

Is it possible to run iOS or Android simulator docked inside VSCode (or is there a feature request or extension to do so)? ideally as one of the tabs in the panel, where the Terminal is.
UPDATE:
the best workaround solution I could come up with is dragging the ios simulator on a native macos space, as seen in picture. this is not doable on windows or linux afaik
I'm using CFeclipse on Windows 10 OS.
With the adaptation of new 4k resolution laptops. Eclipse displays small icons and fonts. Its also reported as a bug in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=451693.
The mentioned bug has been fixed, Eclipse automatically scales images on high-DPI monitors on Windows since Eclipse Neon (4.6). So, make sure your Eclipse IDE is up to date.
If upgrading does not fix your issue, in eclipse.ini add the following line below the line -vmargs (see Tweaking SWT's auto-scaling):
-Dswt.autoScale=200
(In contrast to the compatibility mode of Windows, this is the way to get the double-resolution icons.)
To solve the problem in Windows 10.
Right click Eclipse Icon
Select Properties
Compatibility Tab
Under Settings Section check
Override High DPI scaling behaviour. Scaling performed by.
Select System.
Then Apply or Ok
I haven't encountered it yet in other application but this solution might also work for other apps that displays small icons and fonts.
This solution also works in Ultraedit,FastStone capture
The steps also helps for Coldfusion installer that appears too tiny to be readable or other Application installer in a 4k screen that shows everything too small.
I was having problems with a Windows 10 RDP connection using a Surface Pro machine. A recent update made Eclipse virtually unusable.
This solution worked perfectly :
Right click Eclipse Desktop Icon
Select Properties
Compatibility Tab
Change high DPI settings
Override High DPI scaling behaviour. Scaling performed by. Select
System.
Then Apply or OK
I then had to slightly adjust the font size within Eclipse itself. I found I could use a slightly smaller font
I'm having one issue on Mac OS X El Capitan with Eclipse Mars and menu windows. When a menu window opens a new window, it shows in the back of the first one, and moves along with it (if I move the first one, the second one moves with it, but not the other way around). So there are two possible scenarios. If the second window shows a bit (like in this image), you still can move it and then interact with it, but if the second window is totally hidden (like this one when clicking 'Advanced'), then there's nothing you can do, since it seems impossible to put it on top. Is this a known bug or is there a solution for it?
Eclipse bug 478975 is open for this problem.
The problem only occurs when Eclipse (or any Eclipse RCP) is in full-screen mode. It works normally when not full-screen.
Update: A fix for this bug is included in Eclipse Neon (4.6) Release Candidate 3.
This morning I accepted an Aptana Studio 3 upgrade to build 3.1.1.201204131931.
Prior to the update, I had a clear and permanently visible vertical scroll slider on each open file window. These now appear to have been replaced with a newer Mac OS style scroller which is troublesome to activate, disappears immediately the mouse moves away and so murky it was hours before I even noticed it was there...
The mew behaviour has a profound effect on my efficiency, as I am now far from intuitively aware of my location in the source files.
Is there some way of restoring the original behavior? Defaults restoral throughout and many hours of search of various preferences settings, online forums and user guides have brought nothing. Very frustrating..
Thanks
I think by default Lion only shows scrollbars when scrolling.
You can change this through OS X preferences under "General". Change the "Show scroll bars:" option to "Always".
Eclipse on Linux (GTK+) has rather large UI elements which wastes screen real estate. Compare the Linux version (taken on Ubuntu 9.10):
with the Windows version:
Note the vertical size of the Project Explorer tab, the menubar, and the toolbar. Is it possible to tweak this somehow? How does this look in other Linux distributions?
There are some blog entries for making Eclipse GTK gui less "clumsy". Note that you have to modify the gtkrc file in most cases:
