Is there a way to use netbeans as a simple text editor, without setting up a project?
I am interested in using netbeans features as a text editor, especially for making quick changes on remote servers.
Yes, of course you can use it as a text editor. Just Open Netbeans and select File > Open File and select the file to open from the file chooser dialog. Make changes and click Save.
If you want to edit files on network locations, again do File > Open File and paste the location of your remote file.

In Eclipse I want to open a .xml file in a web browser and my colleagues who have the same drop that I have are able to right click the file and select open with option. My drop does not give me that option. What do I need to do to get that option?
I like using Eclipse to open up certain text-based files that are huge - 140MB - because unlike notepad++, Eclipse can open larger files.
With notepad++, I could drag-drop a file into an open instance and it'd open it. With Eclipse, whether I do File>Open file or drag-drop, it still pops-open the Windows 10 Please select an application to open the file-type
QUESTION
How can I force Eclipse to open them even if they are registered to be opened by another application?
You can select the editor to open files in with a right click.
Text Editor is eclipse, System Editor is whatever your OS chooses.
I believe default editor is what eclipse chooses based on the extension (Text editor vs. System Editor)
I love sublime text. The only thing I dont like is that there is no built in FTP plugin. The sublime sftp package, http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/sftp sucks when you are editing and uploading files continuously. I am looking for something like the notepad ftp, in which you can see all your files and folders on the side of your screen, when u edit something and click Ctrl+S, it uploads automatically to the server.
The alternate option is to use NetBeans or Eclipse for this. The main thing is that I should be able to see all the files and folders on the side and should be able to upload the changes just by saving. I tried the netbeans built in plugin but didnt satisfy me, or I was not doing it properly. please advise
https://github.com/NoxArt/SublimeText2-FTPSync free and realy good alternative.
You can right click on a file in the sidebar (with SFTP) and select "SFTP/FTP -> Sync Local -> Remote" and it will automatically upload that file or directory when anything in it changes (such as when saving).
You can also select "SFTP/FTP -> Browse Remote" to browse and open files on the server directly. If you save files opened this way, they will be uploaded automatically as well.
I have a deceivingly (at least for me) simple problem. I want to open a file in eclipse FROM Mac's finder. Whenever I try, I get the alert that Eclipse cannot open that file. Yet, from within Eclipse I can open the file, either by double clicking it in the Explorer/Navigator window or going file/Open File ...
At the end of the day, I want to be able to open a file in Eclipse by specifying the path name to that file.

Yes, this is something that should be simple, but it is not. The reason is that Eclipse uses the workspace as a way to abstract from the filesystem. The workspace is often similar to, but different from the file system. For one thing, only files within a certain project in the workspace are really known by Eclipse. Another difference is that a single file in the file system can be linked into the workspace and appear multiple times.
All this is to say that since the mapping from the file system to the workspace is not one-to-one, it is not easy to open any arbitrary file in the file system into your Eclipse instance.
That being said, it is possible to drag and drop a file from the finder into the editor pane. Eclipse will then attempt to open the file using whatever is the default editor for that file type.
So, dragging and dropping a Java file will open a Java editor for it (even if the file is not in the workspace), but dragging and dropping an HTML file will open it in whatever browser is set as Eclipse's default.
I think that is imposible in Eclipse.
For separated files you can use "textmate", it's fast and powerful.
I am getting following error on
Cannot create the in-place editor
This is probably because there is no
OLE editor registered against the type
of file you were trying to open.

I have MS office 2007,and the excel file is stored as "save as 2003 version".
I'm using 3.5 so things could be different. Window->Preferences->General->Editors->File Associations.
Add *.xls and add Associated Editor (from this window you can select external programs to open with)
I think you should be able to open the excel file inside and eclipse editor, but it looks like the OLE is not working on your system for some reason.
first check the system editor available or not.
if available right click on xls file and click on open with system editor.
if not available follow bellow steps.
eclipse-->help-->Install new software-->search for editor and download and restart the eclipse. After restart the eclipse right click on xls file and click on open with system editor.
