Is there a way of searching only the code and not the comments in the code in Eclipse?
So, I'm looking up the source code for say, a certain identifier or a method name to trace where it is declared/used.
I'm using "Find/Replace" with ^F. but, I want it to search the text only in the source code and skip all the comments.
If you want to search for proper references (uses/declarations), use Shift-Ctrl-G. This will search for all references to the symbol in your workspace. If you want more detailed control, use the Search dialog (Ctrl-H). There you can do wildcard searches for things like any type which begins with Package in a given working set, or a specified set of resources. Note that this is not a free text search, this actually searches the Java AST, so it will not trigger on text in comments.
If you want to search inside comments, you can use the "File Search" tab in the Search dialog.
Use the References item in the contextual menu.

I've created a custom language extension for my own script language. I've written a tmlanguage file to tokenize my script and do custom highlighting. I created a hover-provider that currently only shows the word that is hovered for testing the provider itself. I want to react on the textmate scopes of the current position in this hover, like the vs code Developer tool "Inspect Editor Token and Scopes" does.
At the end I want to react to one particular scope whose value I want to read and show a corresponding image of this value in the hover.
Fore example a line in my script could look like:
setImage(dic_1/dic_2/testImg)
Now I want to show the image that correlates with the path in the brackets if I hover over it.
I tried to find something in the documentation (https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#languages) if there is something that would help me but couldn't see anything related.
I tried to ask ChatGPT for help after he suggested "possible internal and not public available methods" it suggested to create a custom hover provider with the help of the library "oniguruma" and tokenize the document again.
However, this feels a bit like an overkill. If vscode has a internal tool that does return the textmate scopes I would guess there is a easy way to access those tokens.
I found this thread (Is there a way to find the textmate scope from within my VSCode extension language functions?) but I don't rally understand why I need to write another parser.
Is there any way to access this textmate scopes in a hover-provider?
I understand you can protect the whole document with something like this: myDocument.ExtendedFilePropertiesPart.Properties.DocumentSecurity= new DocumentSecurity("4");
Is there a way to do the same, but to just a single paragraph ?
-thanks in advance
Yes, although I'm on a mobile device and can't check the exact syntax at the moment. But you can find it, yourself.
Start a new document, fairly simple content. In the Word application go to the Developer tab. There's a group/button "Restrict Editing" / "Protect document" (depending on the version of Word). That displays a task pane where you can define the kind of restriction. Select everything BUT the paragraph, then from Step 2 choose "Read-only" (or something like that - not protect for comments or form fields). Make the selection editable for "everyone". In the next step, activate the protection.
Once you have this working, open the document in the Open XML SDK Productivity Tool and you can inspect the underlying Word Open XML syntax. Plus, if you're using the SDK (that's not clear from your question) it will also show you the code for generating the document.
I wish to simply add more words that autocomplete will recognize. We use some custom fields in our HTML (1000's of them) and I want autocomplete to pop up when we start typing one, with a drop down list of all that are available, narrowing them down and you type, just like the normal behavior.
The fact that we have so many might be an issue, but is there any way I can just add my own words that autocomplete will recognize?
I think this page on MSDN should help.
You'll need to create a snippet file using this guide
Is there a way to search for text in the documentation pane of Eclipse?
E.g. see the attached screenshot showing some Android SDK documentation:
and see this screenshot showing the Search menu:
I can't see how you can do a search. And Cmd F doesn't seem to do anything either.
This is basically a web browser pane. Sadly it is quite limited in functionality, you can't search within the view (and of course not within the documentation database instead of the currently shown document).
So the work around is to open the document in a complete, external browser. In this case it is easy to find the document (http://developer.android.com/reference/packages.html) but sometimes it might be annoying to find the URL as this limited web browser view doesn't even tell it to you or gives you a possibility to get it.
If it was about site search and not searching withing the page and if the site doesn't offer a site search (this one does) then of course you can use Google with a site:developer.android.com parameter; similar for other search engines.
I am an eclipse newbie. I have a long term goal which is to add my own annotations to the java editor: a bit like FindBugs. I want my own static code analysers, and to be able to add markers/annotations to resources.
So I have read a lot of excellent documentation, and undertaken a load of tutorials. The most helpful was probably http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/tutorials/os-ecl-commplgin2/section9.html. A lot of the Lars Vogel documents have been useful too. I can now make TextEditors with syntax highlighters. I am however struggling with the best approach for adding annotations.
I understand roughly how to do this: the text editor has a DocumentProvider. The DocumentProvider has an AnnotationModel. It is possible to add annotations to the annotation model.
My question is "where do I put this code" specifically the code that scans the text in the editor and updates the annotation model. It seems clear that this should be in response to a listener...but which one?
I have tried a ResourceChangeListener. This seems to only fire on a save option, rather than when text is typed. In addition I don't know how to get the editor from the resource. ("The" editor is probably a misnomer as presumably the resource can be open in multiple editors). I can find the current editor via IWorkbenchWindow activeWorkbenchWindow = workbench.getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().getActiveEditor(), but this seems the wrong approach, as I want to update all relevant annotation models.
I have tried adding an ElementStateListener to the text editor. None of the events seem to be the one I want.
I've looked at DamageRepairers...these seem to nearly be what I want, except that long term I want to tie into the JavaEditor, so I don't want to change the default DamageRepair.
Thanks for all the help
I found that this question can be answered, by mentioning the following resource: www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/tutorials/os-eclipse-plugin-guide/index.html
The question author also mentions here:
I add the annotations to the resource, and the annotations are
auto-magically added to the editor.
So when my plugin starts I run through the active resources, add
annotations to them if needed, then add a resource changed listener
which adds them as the resource is opened.
