Greetings fellow Stackoverflownians,
I am developing an Eclipse RCP plugin, and have come across different icons in the Dependencies tab of the manifest file:
Anybody got a clue why the last one is different? My supposition is that it's coming from a different source, i.e. the Build Path, instead of the Target Platform.
It's a nebula for me, to be honest.
Any opinions and suggestions are appreciated!
It seems to be that icon on 'some.project.here' icon means the plugin is in your workspace, the other icon means the plugin comes from the target platform.
You can also get a small question mark overlayed on the image which means the plugin is optional. There is also a small arrow overlay which means the plugin dependency is marked as re-exported.
There is also an 01 overlay which I think means this a project imported using 'import plugins and fragments' with 'binary project' selected.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the plugin you are adding is in your package explorer.
Yep you're right. The arrow means definitly that eclipse will resolve the dependency from the TargetPlatform. And the other one with the dot indicates, that it will resolve it from your local workspace.

For some reason, Netbeans IDE 8.2 won't apply any different themes than the original one. Has anyone else had an issue with this? I have applied the new theme and restarted the application many times without success. Thank you.
It's very hard to identify what is wrong since everything in your screenshot looks perfect, and Sublime-Theme works for me using NetBeans 8.2 on Windows 10. See the file with the tab NewServlet.java in the screen shot below.
Note that using Sublime-Theme does not impact everything. For example, the Projects and Navigator panels don't change. Since your screen shot only showed the Options window, and the Start Page doesn't change in the editor either, are you absolutely certain that none of your files in the editor are using Sublime-Theme?
Also, you say that "Netbeans IDE 8.2 won't apply any different themes than the original one", but NetBeans comes bundled with several themes, such as NetBeans and NetBeans 5.5 as shown in the screen shot below. How many options are shown in the profile drop list for you? If you select a different theme from the Profile list and click Apply the rendering of your files in the editor should change immediately. Is that happening?
If so, the problem is probably confined to the installation of Sublime-Theme. Try deleting Sublime-Theme (the button is in the top right corner of your screen shot), and then import the zip file again to see if that fixes the problem. Also, verify that the Sublime-Theme zip file you downloaded can be manually unzipped since it might be a corrupt file.
Another thing to try is using some alternative plugins. Select Tools -> Plugins -> Available Plugins and then install Dark Look and Feel Themes and Darcula LAF for NetBeans. If those don't work either then there is something fundamentally wrong with the installation of NetBeans.
Finally, this article titled The complete guide to tuning the appearance of NetBeans may be helpful.
When I'm trying to run my project it said that i have an errors in my project, but i can't see any. I have an Exclamation mark on my project. If I'm trying to run other project, it is run perfectly.
Before that happened, I played a little bit with the project library and tried to copy some jars to the library. I tried to copy the jars manual to.
Thanks!
did you try the "Problems" View? This should show additional information.
The easiest Way to get there:
Ctrl + 3, then type "Problems".

Besides the "Problems" view, there is also the Console that could give you some hints.
For the Console View, there is the problem that it can show different subviews; for example it can show the console for Android or the console for DDMS. In the toolbar at the upper right of the Console view, you will find the control to choose the right console to display. Be sure to choose the "Android Console".
Another possibility is to use the "Fix Project Properties" that you will find by right clicking on the projet => Android Tools -> Fix Project Properties. This will fixes some but not all the potential problems that you might have introduced in your project.
For the rest, check in detail all properties of the project.
I'm looking for a way to optically mark different projects in the eclipse "Project Explorer".
From time to time I have to work with several opened projects, to copy files and folders from old to new projects. (I know it is possible to compare folders.. but it is not always the best way)
So it would be really convenient to apply a different color for the main project. E.g. having displayed the folders of that project in green instead of yellow - so this would avoid copy-pasting in the wrong 'direction'.
Any ideas? Or other tips?

Eclipse isnt exploded make-up-bag :D
If you have your projects unter Version-Controll, you can specify custom file/folder/project-decorators with markant Text-Labels.
Therefore see Window->Preferences->Team->...->Label Decoration
What I want to do is simply use the eclipse package explorer in hierarchical view but with empty packages being collapsed so I don't have to open 5+ packages to find the first Java file.
I'm not even sure how I did it in previous versions, but I've never had any trouble finding it before, it just seems to be gone now. I have a feeling there was a "flatten hierarchy" tick-box somewhere.
To clarify I get this:
com
example
etc
file1.java
Rather than:
com.example.etc
file1.java
I'm using Eclipse Indigo (v. 3.7.1)
Open the View menu (small triangle in top right corner), open filters and check Empty parent packages.
In most cases it works, but in case of existing projects it does not always work as expected. If you seem to have troubles, try to export the project, remove it, then re-add the exported version (or re-checkout from your VCS).
Assuming the view filter is engaged properly, perhaps your source folders are not as "empty" as you think.
For example, on Apple OS X, Eclipse will detect .DS_STORE entires along your src/package/hierarchy, making the parent packages technically non-empty.
Delete any such hidden files and refresh your project.
Window - Preferences - Java - Appearance - Abbreviate package names
And enter the following rule:
com.example.etc={cee}
I don't know what the problem actually was, but I couldn't get it fixed until I gave up altogether and reinstalled the OS (it was a fresh install anyway), and eclipse. It was completely fine after that. :\
Click on the arrow at the top right of the "Package explorer" and choose "Package presentation -> flat"
Try to restart Eclipse once in a while. I had trouble getting it to work, and after an Eclipse restart it suddenly was working again.
Im working on Eclipse Helios Service Release 1. I found unusual red mark on the JAR file icon in War/WEB-INF/Lib/ folder.
Any body knows what does this means?
Take a look in your problems view (may be called markers depending on your version). You should see a message corresponding to the decorator on the jar. If the problem is still not obvious, post back the text of that message here.
