For some mysterious reason all the target definition files (*.target) in my plugin project became empty.
I have absolutely no clue how to fix this.
With the information provided in the question it is difficult to guess the reason.
However you can try these
Open target file in Text Editor and check the content.If the size of the file is more than zero then you can see some content here.
If using any SCM tool get the older version of these files.
You can replace the file content in local history. Right click on the file go to Replace with > Local History then choose the older one and click Replace.

When i press Ctrl+Shift+R to open the Open Resource Dialog box, the filter box does not show most of the other resource files for example.. jsp, xml etc. it works fine with all the java files.. This is happening for only this particular java project. i have refreshed the project multiple times but still no-go. I have also rebuilt the index for eclipse under workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core by deleting the index files but to no avail.
I am using eclipse Kepler version. Any help would be great..
Thanks All. Yes i had closed and opened the project many times. I have also not set any Resource filter exclusions. What i noticed was that opening any of these files for edit would set off an alert saying file was derived and would i like to edit? But on the properties for these file they were not ticked as derived but rather as Archived. So had to manually hunt for the parent folder which was making these files as derived. Also noticed that the Open Resource Dialog box has option for including Resource files "Show Derived Resources"...
This one helped me solve the problem
Eclipse treating all the files in a project as Derived
This is going to sound ridiculous...but maybe this'll help others too: make sure your file search string is correct! You may need to begin it with a wildcard (*).
I lost about 45 minutes on this as the result of user error.
I was looking for some local files named eRCaGuy_PPM_Writer.h and eRCaGuy_PPM_Writer.cpp (from my repo here). So, I pressed Ctrl + Shift + R and searched for ppm_writer, as shown here:
Nothing! It would not find those files! No matter what I did to the files it couldn't seem to find them. I tried all sorts of things. Then, I realized Eclipse doesn't have a fancy fuzzy search like Sublime Text 3, so I simply added an asterisk (*) to the front of the search, and voila! It works perfectly. Since the "PPM_Writer" part of those two file names is NOT at the beginning, I must start the search with a wildcard (*).
Now it works fine, as you can see here:
I've just added a note about this to my personal Eclipse setup and configuration instructions here: https://github.com/ElectricRCAircraftGuy/eRCaGuy_dotfiles/tree/master/eclipse (for my full documentation, see also the PDF and Google Drive links at the top of that page).
I get files from friend who don't use netbeans IDE, when i open file that contain special caracter like 'é','à',... it show me this popup message :
if i say yes it open the file and changes those caracters to '�' like or
Any idea how to open the file safely?
The letters you are mentioning seem to be French. You need to open the file, specifying the original encoding, then save the file as UTF-8
I recently encountered a very similar problem (I have some javascript files in Chinese which translated into similar non-human readable text upon re-opening the file in NetBeans).
My OS: Linux Mint (version 17, Cinnamon; Notepad++ not available and gedit did not solve the problem).
Netbeans Version: 8.0.1
However, I was blessed to have found the history feature! I was able to get a former version of my file restored and backed it up immediately.
To access a file's history simply click on the History button found on the left side of the tool bar between the tabs of open files at the top of the IDE and the actual source code. (You can also right click on the file name and selected History -> Show History). Then Double click on a *Timestamp representing a valid version of your file. Just below the table of Timestamps the old 'backup' file and the current 'corrupted' file should appear side-by-side. (You can preview several historical versions of the file until you find one that works best for you; of course, when choosing a file I suggest one which is still usable and has the most current Timestamp associated with it!) ). Right click again on the 'backup' version of your choice -> Revert from History. Click back on the Source button found right next to the History button.
Finally, to change the default encoding, I applied the fix suggested by Sebas and Danny here:
How to change file encoding in NetBeans?
Please note that the path to the netbeans.conf file is different (at least with version 8.0.1 on my Linux machine). The path on my machine was : ~/netbeans-8.0.1/etc/netbeans.conf.
This saved the day for me and I hope it helps someone else out there! Bonne chance.
So i want to format a bunch of files that i have to a certain standard. The problem is, there is A LOT of files. Is there anyway to have Eclipse open a file, hit CTRL+SHIFT+F (to format the file), save it, close it, then open the next file and repeat that process through a directory that i specify?
I don't have any experience with scripting so i have not even attempted doing something like this. I looked into plugins for Eclipse that could maybe do this but i really didn't get anywhere.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
You can right-click on any source folder in the Package Explorer (including the root of the project) and select Source > Format, or Source > Cleanup (which gives you even more control than a simple format)
You can right click on a folder in the Navigator or Package Explorer view and select Source -> Format. This will format all the files in the selected directory.
I'm very surprised not to be able to open my Xcode project on another mac, I have never that kind of problem with Visual Studio or Eclipse. I have tried this Info.plist file "no such file" error but it's not enough.
I have other errors like MyAppViewController files not found in some folder whereas I checked that the files are actually there.
So how do I modify XCode 4 project so that it can be opened on any mac ?
Update: contrary to what is claimed here Duplicating / importing Xcode projects from one Mac to another copying isn't enough
Update 2: should I be obliged to buy that kind of tools to do so ? http://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/project-duplicator-for-xcode/id467950482?mt=12
Copying the files over is enough, as long as you copy all files over and no files are referenced from your project file using absolute paths.
Note that you don't have to choose to have absolute paths. I'm unsure of the exact details, but I've ended up with absolute paths in projects without doing so explicitly.
For example, here's a project with a missing file:
When I select the missing file, I can see that it's using an absolute path:
At this point, you have two options:
You can click the button in the bottom right of that red box I've drawn to find the file. Make sure you pick the right file; if you pick one with a different name, Xcode will happily replace DetailViewController.m with SomeUnrelatedFile.m and you'll have lost the hint about the original file. After finding it, make sure to pick Location: Relative To Group (usually, that'll be the right choice anyway) to avoid this happening again.
Possibly safer, go back to the original computer. For any file that you know is missing on the destination computer, pick Location: Relative To Group. Then copy everything over again.
I'm not sure if this is what you're after but it might help; I use git on to keep my two laptops in sync with a single project. I don't have any file missing errors and it comes with all those other repository benefits.
You shouldn't need any tools to do this, Xcode projects can be moved, shared between other members of your team and opened on any supported machine.
There must be another problem you have, so you need to post the error.
And when you get it resolved.... using a free remote source control service such as bitbucket, would be good for you to know and get into the practice of using.
I often have to open a secondary editor outside of Netbeans in order to work on temporary bits of text outside of my project files. Is there a way to create temporary files in Netbeans without adding them to a project?
File -> New expects every file to be part of a project.
I know this has already been answered successfully, but there is now a proper Netbeans plugin for this requirement: http://code.google.com/p/netbeans-scratchpad-plugin/ It works nicely for me and allows multiple scratchpads which can be handy.
Also note that the Copy/Paste History plugin which is available by default (with NB7 at least) is handy for this too.
HTH,

By default, there is no such feature yet (I'm using 6.5).
You could include a folder in the Favorites window, and right click > New > Empty File from the folder, it won't be part of the project.
