I accidentally deleted the java folder in Tools -> Templates in NetBeans 8.0. Now it does not show me the option to make a Java class. I reinstalled netbeans, but it did not help.
Could you please help me to recover it?
Close NetBeans IDE, go to NetBeans userdir, then to config/templates directory and delete Classes_hidden file.
When NetBeans IDE is started again templates for Java are back.
An easy to recover your Java template is to go to Tools->Templates and delete another template at random (say the HTML one) then click the Revert to Default button at the right and your HTML and Java templates will be recovered.
P.S. I'm guessing you were trying to remove that author: thing in the template, so a good way to do that is by going to Tools->Templates->Java->Java class->Open in Editor and you can modify freely your template.

I'm using Eclipse Mars with the TFS plugin. I work with many files that don't have a file extension. Is there a setting to have those files open in Eclipse? Currently, I always get Windows "what do you want to do with this file" selection displays.
All of these non-extension files are plain text that would properly render in Eclipse.
We have a fix in TEE/Eclipse TFS plugin to handle opening files without any extensions from Source Control Explorer in Eclipse. It will be available with our next update.
Thanks,
Madhuri

Unfortunately, the way our Eclipse TFS plugin (i.e. TEE) is written today, you will not be able to do what you are asking (meaning, you will not be able to configure the system so that when you click on a file with no file extension in the source control explorer and have it open in Eclipse – you will always be promoted by Windows to choose the application). We will keep this use case in mind as we continue to support the plug-in and will add it to the backlog of options to be considered in the next release. We are sorry for any inconvenience this is causing you. Thank you for your question.
I love Netbeans, but there's a "bug" or "way of doing things" that I don't like, and I want to know if there's something I could do to make it right:
Scenario
I edit a example.css in Netbeans & save.
I edit example.css outside Netbeans & save.
I edit example.css in Netbeans again.
Problem: Changes in #2 were overwritten.
Do you know how to config Netbeans to check for updates on files before save?
Do you know a similar IDE for PHP that works with remote project similar to Netbeans?
Thanks!
In NetBeans: I think you should perform Source -> Scan for external before saving.
I believe this feature(Auto Refresh) is supported by by Eclipse new versions. If you want to switch your IDE, please download from here-->Eclipse for PHP Developers.
You may find steps to configure Eclipse with remote file system, please refer Getting Started with the Remote System Explorer.
I am trying to lnclude an additional JDK (really JRE) to my eclipse project as i need to build against the IBM Java 5 JRE.
When I add the root folder of the jre it appears as if the core java class jars are not being added and only the jars in \lib\ext are being added. That is problem 1.
The next issues is I can't even manually add the jars by adding external jars to the runtime library. The reason being when I hit ok to save off the changes and then hit ok to the preferences dialog. The changes do not truly save. I open up the jre definition dialog again and only the jars in \lib\ext are there again.
Is this an eclipse bug? Is anybody finding similar results?
I'd really like to figure out where these preferences are stored so I can manually edit the file if need be.
As a side note, I have had a similar experience with not being able to save .pmd rule preferences and having to edit them manually in the backend. Though I suspect that bug is on the PMD developers.
Anyway any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I'm new to Eclipse and downloaded the following version:
Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Indigo Release
Build id: 20110615-0604
[edit] Eclipse Platform Version 3.7
I have edited Java > Editor > Save Actions to do the following: Remove trailing white spaces on all lines, Correct indentation
When I save the .java file, those actions are not applied... is this a bug?
Found this that might be related: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=350475
Assuming that this relates to JavaScript files, then the related Eclipse bug could be helpful.
The problem (as I've just experienced) is that you can edit the JavaScript -> Save Actions preferences via the context menu when editing a JavaScript file, but the actions will not be run.
The solution is to right click on the project containing the .js file, and select Configure -> Convert to JavaScript project.
The bad news is that this will then will also enable Eclipse's not-so-great JavaScript validation, therefore telling you that libraries such as moment.min.js are broken.
Well for those of you who have found this topic... I did find 2 solutions, no thanks to Eclipse, other than the fact that it is open source and people can write plugins.
Eclipse Platform Version 3.7
AnyEdit - plugin that does it for you when you Save file (I believe this is what eclipse SHOULD be doing)
Go to: Window > Preferences. Then under General > Keys. Make sure drop down for Scheme: is Default and enter 'remove trailing' in the filter. You should then see "Remove Trailing Whitespace" under the command column. Bind it to your own key command.
The only drawback to #2 is that you have to actually press the key binding while editing the file, kindof like a cleanup action.
Too bad Eclipse hasn't taken the approach that ALL file types should be configurable in this way... sometimes I miss TextPad.
Old question, but at least for newer Eclipse versions there's a better solution: Go to the project properties, then to Project Facets. If it tells you that your project isn't in faceted form yet, then convert it. Afterwards (or if it already was faceted), just enable the JavaScript checkbox.
I had the same issue with Eclipse 4.4 (Luna) and this fixed it for me, the save actions are now executed on save.
Adding to jlh's answer, I also had to configure the JavaScript include path of the project to enable save actions. Before that even a manual "Clean Up ..." from the source menu wouldn't work.
My company wants to migrate to Eclipse, I was wondering what options besides an Ant build are there to move our projects from Netbeans to Eclipse.
Tooooo ... oooo .... oooo late to answer but this works

i was looking for an answer my self and saw this question :)
Quoting:
Here is a little tutorial on "Importing projects from NetBeans to Eclipse".
Please try this:
PART I - NETBEANS
Open NebBeans.
Create a java project named "ToEclipse".
Build this project.
Then, NetBeans has created several folders. The important folders to us are (in my computer):
c:\User\Almir\NetBeans\ToEclipse\dist
c:\User\Almir\NetBeans\ToEclipse\src
PART II - ECLIPSE
Go to Eclipse.
Create a java project in Eclipse named "ToEclipse".
Then, Eclipse has created several folders. The important folders to us are (in my computer):
c:\Users\Almir\Eclipse\ToEclipse\bin
c:\Users\Almir\Eclipse\ToEclipse\src
PART III - WINDOWS EXPLORER
Go to Windows Explorer.
Copy the FILE "ToEclipse.jar" at c:\Users\Almir\Eclipse\ToEclipse\bin folder.
Past it in c:\Users\Almir\Eclipse\ToEclipse\bin
Copy the FOLDER "toeclipse" at c:\User\Almir\NetBeans\ToEclipse\src folder.
Past it in b) c:\Users\Almir\Eclipse\ToEclipse\src folder.
PART IV - ECLIPSE
Go to Eclipse.
Press F5 to refresh the view.
Verify that your project is there (under ToEclipse/src/toeclipse).
Say "Oh! Yes! It works!".
Run the project.
Return to 3) how many times you want!
I hope that helps you!

I found another easier way that worked for me at least since I had problems importing the Ant build script due to a missing javac.
Say you have your Netbeans project (src, build, dist etc) in D:/blah/
In Eclipse go to File->New->Java Project
Uncheck 'Use default location' and instead use the path where the Netbeans project is (D:/blah/) Eclipse should automatically populate everything else and link to the files as well.
I have recently 'migrated' from Netbeans to Eclipse and found it amazingly easy. The reason it was easy though is that all of our projects are IDE independent standard ant and ivy build scripts that most modern IDE's can understand. This way, we all get to use the IDE we like (yes - emacs and vi too) and their are no 'migration' issues.
The reason that I am pointing that out is that, if it is not already that way, I would recommend that you take that same path on your migration. Just create some standard ant (and ivy) build scripts. Eclipse knows how to slurp those in and there will be no future migration issues.
in MY PERSONAL experience, it was easy. I was migrating a java desktop app from netbeans to eclipse. Just copy my projects into the workspace, create the project in eclipse as a new java project and put the same name of the project in netbeans (use your workspace as location). It will recognize the project structure ( Eclipse Helios, Netbeans 6.8 )
Hope this helps. I don't know how hard it turns if you have another kind of project.
I just migrated a Netbeans 7.0 JSF web project to Eclipse. And it was easier than i would have imagined.
What i did was:
List item
Clean and build my JSF application in netbeans
Close netbeans and open Eclipse(i use galileo)
Create a new Dynamic Web Application.
Right click on the new web application in project explorer and go to import then to .WAR file
It then ask whether i want to import any of the jar files(libraries) as projects and i do not select any and just click finish.
Copied my netbeans src(source) folder /src/java/ to
the Eclipse src folder. e.g netbeansproject/medman/src/java/com to eclipseSpace/medman/src/
Next setup your server in Eclipse(i use tomcat 6.0).
And voila! it is done.

At my company people pretty much use either eclipse or Netbeans. I myself use both of them for various tasks. We write our own ant scripts to build and package our source so it does not matter what IDE a person uses. I would suggest that you create your own ant script to build your source, that way you won't have to depend on an IDE specific build script.
