Where does Eclipse save the recent patterns in the "File name Patterns" by File Search. I want to delete some of these entries, but couldn't find them in any text/temp file.
Many thanks
Open the file <Your eclipse workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.search/dialog_settings.xml
Check all the child nodes of <section name="EXTENSIONS"> tag and change the values and restart eclipse.
The search dialog settings are saved in a dialog_settings.xml file in the workspace .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.search directory.
The text search page uses the <section name="TextSearchPage"> part of this file.
Note: On Unix, Linux and Mac systems directories starting with . are hidden.

I don't want to show the files in VScode which are already hidden i.e starts file name with '.'
in ubuntu filename start with '.' are hidden but whenever i open any folder in VScode that hidden files also showing.. so can some one tell me how can hide files in VScode which name starts with '.' ?
open vscode
go file-preferneces-settings-Text Editor-files
click add pattern bellow "Files:exclude"
Add what you want to be hidden in a .gitignore file local to your project.
In VSCode settings, look for: "Explorer: Exclude Git Ignore".
Tick the box.
In this way, you minimize the settings specific to your current IDE, and rely on what is specified in your project.
I can't see my project's .gitignore files within my netbeans program.
Is there a way to make them appear within the list of files? I could not find a way.
Open the NetBeans Options
Click on the 'Files' tab
Under 'Ignored Files Pattern', the default is:
^(CVS|SCCS|vssver.?\.scc|#.*#|%.*%|_svn)$|~$|^\.(?!htaccess$).*$
This means that, by default, NetBeans ignores all files beginning with '.' except for .htaccess
You can update this regex to the following to also exclude .gitignore:
^(CVS|SCCS|vssver.?\.scc|#.*#|%.*%|_svn)$|~$|^\.(?!(htaccess|gitignore)$).*$
Click OK, and NetBeans will immediately begin displaying your .gitignore files.
By default, NetBeans does not show .gitignore files inside it's Projects/Files lists.
How do I get them to show up?
I'd like to see them, since NetBeans has no issue actually editing these files.

I was adding a simple file to one of my programs that updates when I run the program with a particular parameter.
The file updated fine, but it is stored in the /bin directory and I can't figure out how to view the file within the editor.
I can see that the file is updated when I traverse the bin folder manually and open it with notepad.
Is there a way to view the file within the editor?
edit: I have a file in the project already but I doesn't update, instead the copy in the bin folder does; Can I connect the two somehow?
Your <project>/bin directory is being filtered from view. Right click on your project, select Show In->Navigator then you should be able to see your /bin directory and double click your file to have it open in an editor.
Alternatively, you can use ctrl-shift-r to open the Open Resource dialog, from the triangle drop down menu check Show Derived Resources, and then type in the name of your file.
The /bin directory is managed by the Eclipse builders and so you may lose your file if you do a clean. I would suggest using a different directory to house your runtime files.
I am using a software client based on Eclipse (Ganymede) and its all working fine.
However, one small thing would make my world perfect...
In the Eclipse home folder, there is an ini-file. Is there a way to have various ini-files and choose (for example by arguments or environment variables) a specific ini file and create a shortcut for it?
Many thanks,
You can make as many shortcut you want with the:
the eclipse.exe executable
the option --launcher.ini /your/eclipse.ini
See Eclipse Help page on Runtime Options:
--launcher.ini <location> (Executable)
The location of the product .ini file to use.
If not specified the executable will look for a file beside the launcher with the same name and the extension .ini.
(ie eclipse.exe looks for eclipse.ini, product.exe looks for product.ini)
So you can have more than one "eclipse.ini" file: each one will be referenced as an argument within the --launcher.ini option.
The easy way would be to have a shell script (for *nix) or batch file for windows that would simulate the behaviour you want
#!/bin/ksh
echo "first arg is the name of the ini file to use otherwise using default one"
ln -s $1 eclipse.ini
#launch eclipse
