PyDev Jython Interactive Console on Eclipse fails to be created - eclipse

Why might my Jython Interactive Console fail to be created when called in Eclipse?
Following the 'Using Jython in an IDE' instructions in the Jython manual (http://www.jython.org/jythonbook/en/1.0/JythonIDE.html) I have reached just before 'Listing 11-10' in the Testing section, specifically:
First, click the right-most button on the console’s toolbar (you will
recognize it as the one with a plus sign on its upper left-hand
corner, which has the Open Console tip when you pass the mouse over
it). From the menu, select PyDev Console. To the next dialog, answer
Jython Console. After doing this you will get an interactive
interpreter embedded on the IDE
I select 'Open Console' -> 'PyDev Console' -> 'Jython Console' -> 'OK'. The 'Create Interactive Console' dialog appears and then either:
Gets about 1/10th complete and stops (I left it overnight and it hadn't progressed in the morning)
Finishes and fails with the error message:
Error initializing console.
Unexpected error connecting to console.
Failed to recive suitable Hello response from pydevconsole.
Last msg received: HTTP server returned unexpected status: null
My setup:
Operating System: Windows XP
Eclipse: Kepler Service Release 1
Jython: 2.5.2
PyDev: 3.0.0.201311051910

This error occured due to badly configured proxy settings, specifically the proxy exceptions did not include 'localhost' and '127.0.0.1'. This resulted in requests from Eclipse to itself through localhost being diverted through the proxy, which neither the proxy nor Eclipse were happy with.
The solution (in Windows XP) was to open Internet Options -> Connections (tab) -> LAN Settings -> Advanced, and then add localhost;127.0.0.1; to the beginning of the Exceptions list.

I think this was an issue on PyDev. Can you please check the latest nightly build (see http://pydev.org/download.html for details on how to get it) and see if it works for you?

Tomcat hangs and prevents Eclipse from shutting down after running some time

I'm running Eclipse 4.6.1 with in-IDE Tomcat 8.5.6 on Windows 10 Professional 64-bit Anniversary Edition.
After Tomcat is left running in Eclipse after some time, the Tomcat embedded in Eclipse can no longer be stopped. I press the red "Stop" button in the "Servers" tab, but nothing happens. Eventually Eclipse will ask me if I want to terminate Tomcat:
Server Tomcat v8.5 Server at localhost is not responding. Do you want to terminate this server? Click OK to terminate the server or click Cancel to continue waiting.
I click "OK to terminate the server... but Tomcat keeps running.
Unfortunately when I then try to close Eclipse, it hangs on "Saving workbench state." Finally I have to kill Eclipse, thereby losing my workbench state. Even worse, if I then start Eclipse back up and try to restart the embedded Tomcat, I get the following error:
'Starting Tomcat v8.5 Server at localhost' has encountered a problem.
Several ports (8005, 8080, 8009) required by Tomcat v8.5 Server at localhost are already in use. The server may already be running in another process, or a system process may be using the port. To start this server you will need to stop the other process or change the port number(s).
How can I surgically go in and really kill Tomcat so that it doesn't hang Eclipse and keep ports open? (Unfortunately the only thing that shows up in the task manager is Eclipse.exe. There is no Tomcat to be seen. I've tried killing the javaw.exe subprocess, but that doesn't help.)
(At one point I thought this was related to a VPN connection going down, but today this happened with no VPN connection at all.)
I've filed Eclipse Bug 511342. We'll see if anything comes of it.
i've tried locally but i couldn't recreate the bug .
im not sure that this answers your question but it is for sure something worth trying , in any case this might show some features to other users....
in the window menu you have the SHOW VIEW , there you can choose other
this open the future window with search bar and all the available views for the ide .
in the debug view , you can do actions not only on applications , but on servers also . the menu here is different from the view you see in the server, and you can do advanced termination other things.
welp , hope that helps .
*note , you don't need the server to run in debug mode .
Find your Tomcat installation directory, navigate to bin folder, open a command window there and execute an .bat file named shutdown.bat, this way you can kill tomcat directly, make sure to locate the appropiate Tomcat installation directory which Eclipse is using.
UPDATE - Expected output:
I have not used it in the same way you have, but this may help.
On a command prompt (Cmd.exe) execute:
netstat -a -o | find "8080"
That will list all IP/PORT in use alongside the PID (process id) filtering by port # 8080 (change it to meet your needs or remove the find if you want to list all)
Open Task Manager, and using the PID you should be able to find the particular
process that is using the ports you need to release.
updated:
Once you find the port (8080) you can try using the command
taskkill /f /pid [port number]
Found a related issue with this command: Stack overflow - Tomcat not shutting down eclipse
Again, I use this when I need to find a rogue thing that I need to kill, and I don't know if the embedded environment will show it separate but its worth a try.
In tomcat's console inside Eclipse, there's a red button that can stop it. Albert also stated that in task manager it appears as javaw.exe, however Eclipse itself also appears as javaw.exe, so be careful when killing each one. Eclipse should be the one that takes more memory.

Can't find GDB option in Eclipse on mac

I'm new to Macs but I don't think this is a problem that comes from that. I've been attempting to set up GDB as a debugger for programming in golang on Eclipse. I know how to do it for the most part, but at some point one of the steps is to open up your debug preferences in the C/C++ configuration and fill in the path of where the debugger is located. Unfortunately, the option doesn't even show up for me:
Why doesn't the "GDB" option show up under Preferences >> C/C++ >> Debug? If i'm not mistaken, it should be a part of the CDT package correct? Am I just using the wrong version? It should be giving me this option:
At least it does for Neil Craft, the author of this tutorial
For anyone coming here looking for an answer:
https://www.ics.uci.edu/~pattis/common/handouts/macmingweclipse/allexperimental/mac-gdb-install.html#eclipse
If there is no GDB section in the C/C++Debug subtree, close the preferences window, and try to first start a debugging session for any project that you can already run without problems. You can do it by either clicking the Debug button on the toolbar, or selecting RunDebug from the main menu. This attempt will, of course, fail with an error message about the gdb command, but it will force the said C/C++DebugGDB settings to appear in the preferences.

No Java console output in Eclipse; works with PyDev

I have both a Java and a PyDev project in one workspace. When I run the PyDev project (either the main script with Run > Run As > Python Run or its associated unit test with Python unit-test), the console output looks fine. However, when I switch to the Java project, open the main class, make sure the cursor focus is in the main class, and run it with Run > Run as > [my run config], no output shows up in the console, stdout or stderr. I've tried with Run/Debug > Console > Fixed width console checked and unchecked, similarly for Limit console output. "Allocate console" is check in [my run config].
I have tried redirecting output to a file in my run configuration, but the log file is empty after a run; thus, I suspect stdout/stderr are being trapped somewhere. I suspect that it is PyDev causing the issue because when I run the Java project, this exception reliably shows up about 6 times in the error log:
Launch shortcut 'org.python.pydev.debug.ui.launchShortcut.python.unittest' enablement expression caused exception. Shortcut was removed.
stacktrace:
org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: No property tester contributes a property org.python.pydev.debug.ui.python_type to type class org.eclipse.ui.part.FileEditorInput
at org.eclipse.core.internal.expressions.TypeExtensionManager.getProperty(TypeExtensionManager.java:123)

at org.eclipse.core.internal.expressions.CompositeExpression.evaluateAnd(CompositeExpression.java:53)
at org.eclipse.core.internal.expressions.AndExpression.evaluate(AndExpression.java:29)
(... and so on)
Additionally, printing from a Java program in a different workspace that only has Java projects works fine.
I tried uninstalling PyDev and restarting Eclipse, but I'm still having the same issue. I still have those errors after reinstalling PyDev, too.
Has anyone run into this issue before, or know of a way to fix it?
Well, I feel like an idiot; turns out, I had redirected stdout/err to a log file that I had long since forgotten about, and stuck somewhere difficult to find.
I ran into the same problem so I did some research. Seems like there was an old issue (2006-2008), but it was resolved by adding an option to the launch configurations to allocate a console. This is available from the Run -> Debug Configurations menu option, Common tab. Perhaps this is simply unchecked after the PyDev install?
If this is a new bug, there were two possible workarounds suggested:
Set up debug launch configuration that uses remote debugging instead of local debugging.
Use a buffered writer to System.out.

Eclipse with Xdebug crashes while debugging when flow jumps from file to file

I'm runnung Eclipse (indigo) 3.7.1 with Xdebug 2.1.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.14.
My problem: While debugging Drupal installation everything works fine, adding breakpoints, stepping in, over, return, vars are showing as they suppose to. But, once the execution flow takes me to the other file which holds the definition of a function being called in the first file, I get an error message saying: "Unexpected termination of script. Debugging ended.".
Show super global vars is switched off in Xdebugger options (solution I found previously), and 'Path Mapper' is left blank in PHP server options (another solution).

Ipython in pydev interactive debugging console(eclipse)

I have ipython working in pydev when using the normal interactive console, however when entering debug mode the console reverts to the standard pydev console. If I close this console and re-open it, ipython returns and I can use it as normal. Am I missing something, or is this a bug?
-Eric
Actually since PyDev version 3.0 you can attache a IPython console to a debug-session:
http://pydev.org/manual_adv_interactive_console.html#full-debug-support-in-interactive-console
To enable that feature, go to window > preferences > PyDev > Interactive Console and check 'Connect console to Debug Session?'.
Then only hassle is that you have to re-open a new IPython-console every time you re-launch the program in debug-mode.
Actually, Eclipse itself can have multiple consoles open at the same time... if you want, you can create multiple console views and pin a different console to each view (if you don't pin the console, one console will be shown on top of the other and you'll have to do the switching from one to the other manually).
As it is now, the debug console is not the same as the interactive console (it's a simpler version because of issues with the eclipse integration, although there are plans to be able to attach an interactive console to a debug session).
So, what you described is what should really happen (not really a bug).
