Okay I am starting to give up with this. I have been trying to setup sebversion in Eclipse for my android project. I have been following the following tutorial
http://blog.bauson.com/eclipse-subclipse-svn-hostgator-com.html
I got the following:
Created a repository called myRep
Created a project under with source files myRep/TestProject and attached it to trunk
installed subclipse and got it to grab the repository
Now when, it says "Checkout as a project configured using the new project wizard", I get to choose the type of project. If I choose android application project then it creates a default android project and nothing is checked out. But when I choose General Project, it does grab the whole thing in the following structure
Repositony->TestProject->Trunk->All my android files and folders
However I want it to be android project so I can compile and run it. I did a lot of googling and I need your help pleeease!
Never mind, I figured it out. Apperently, when you choose the repository you have to right click and click refresh and it will show you a list of Folders (stupid eclipse does not do it automatically). Then you choose your project and create it as a new project. Voilla, you get it compiling and running

Recently I pulled a project form Github. The language I'm working with is C. When I try to run it, it will say "The selection cannot be launched, and there are no recent launches." I can't compile either. So what I did was search the internet for how to fix this. And the mighty internet said I shall change my run configurations and select my project and then run that. This is what I tried - I opened the configurator and browsed for my project, but it wasn't displayed. I can see the project in the navigator and I can commit/push/pull as well. Still, I can't choose it in the run configurator. Any ideas what I could do?
Thank you very much!
PS: I already saw this post (Can't run project in Eclipse imported from Git) but there is no maven option when importing.
I've tried to follow https://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html instructions in Eclipse for Mobile Developers (Juno), but am getting multiple errors with the library package after importing the library project into my workspace. I fixed the AndroidManifest.xml error it reported, but now I can't open the project in Eclipse saying the .project description file contains invalid information. So much for a simple install. I've tried uninstalling it, redownloading it, and I still get the multiple errors. Any suggesions how to get it working?
There is a misleading step in step 3 of http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html:
Copy the
/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib
library project into the source tree where you maintain your Android
app projects.
If you are using Eclipse, import the library project into your
workspace. Click File > Import, select Android > Existing Android Code
into Workspace, and browse to the copy of the library project to
import it.
Don't do the first copy. Instead just do the second part and check the box that says "Copy projects into workspace". I found that if I did the first part I would end up with empty xml files.
Try the following :
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/intro#sample_code
You would get errors while opening an activity mentioned in the sample code. That is because android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity is not added to your build path. Hover over the error and click on "Fix Project Setup". It would ask you to add the lib to the build path. Say Yes and enjoy :)
If your google_pay_services/libproject is empty (mine was empty) and looks like installed in sdk manager, first delete google play services from sdk manager, install it again and follow the steps in the first answer.
Try Window > Android SDK Manager > Extras > Google play service > Delete package.
And then re-install that package again:
File > Import, select Android > Existing Android Code into Workspace
I had the same problem. I went to Properties->Java Build Path and clicked on the Projects tab. Then I added google-play-services_lib using the Add button. This got me this run-time exception:
E/AndroidRuntime(9469): Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment cannot be cast to android.support.v4.app.Fragment
So then I changed the main.xml file entry from this:
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
to this:
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
And FINALLY, it runs, but NOW no map due to authorization failure. So I am off on another search.
thanks Google for making it so complicated and for posting incorrect instructions!
I have the source code for the VersionOne plugin. I am wanting to modify the code because I am getting a NullPointerException when I click a specific button on the plugin which crashes eclipse. I was wondering what steps I need to take in eclipse to import the source code, modify it, and get it to run. I have read over how to create a new plugin project, but I have never tried importing a plugin before. Plugin Source
Once you have imported the project and that seems to work fine, just run it like any other plugin.
I.e:
Set the breakpoints you want in the code
Click the "Run as..."
In the run dialog start up a new Eclipse instance
On the tab "plugins" make sure your imported plugin is selected
If you are using the plugin at the same time, make sure that the non-workspace is not selected
In the new Eclipse instance, set up a situation that will provoke the bug
You need the following things to do that:
From Eclipse download a distro with PDE (Plugin Development) included.
The source pages
Some configuration management tool like Git or Subversion.
You do then the following steps:
Unzip your sources locally somewhere and add them to the CM system.
Create an eclipse plugin project from that source location (depending on Git or SVN different steps).
Create a run configuration for Eclipse that includes that plugin. That is similar to creating a run configuration for Java, but your Java application is then eclipse (see the Help on Eclipse Application Launcher). You have to ensure that in the "Plug-ins Tab", your new plugin is included. After you have started it, you should see the new feature implemented in the new running eclipse. To debug it, you just have to press the debug button instead of the run button. You may then add breakpoints to the source code of your plugin to see how it is working.
You are then able to start a new eclipse application which includes the plugin and make your tests there. You are able to set breakpoints, debug the code and so on. If you find the error, you can change the code, test it, and as a result have a difference to the source you had initially. The best would be then to make a patch and send it back to the originator.
To deploy it then to others is a different story, and is well documented.
On my Mac computer, I follow the tutorial on this page to get the Taipan example run, but still failed so many times.
Switch to the Plug-in Development perspective and open the models folder within the org.eclipse.gmf.examples.taipan project. Explore each of the models found hereand their element properties. You'll notice that there are full and RCP versions of the generated Taipan examples to explore.
When I try to run as "Eclipse application", it launches a new eclipse app but the dialog box Examples does not have the 'Taipan Diagram' as it says:
create an empty project and a new 'TaiPan Diagram' found in the Examples folder of the New dialog
What are the possible causes? Someone helps me to solve it out?
I'm assuming that your plugin is working fine and doesnt show compilation errors?
Then the most likely reason is that you havent chosen your plugin to be active in your launch dialog.
I answered a similar question with this:
My guess is that you have just created the plugin, but aren't running it in your current Eclipse instance. That can be verified by opening the view "Plugin registry". That will show a list of all plugins, see if the plugin you have created is in that list.
If you click on the run button in Eclipse you will open a run configuration dialog. In one of the tabs, you get to choose what plugins should be available. Make sure your plug-in is selected. This will start up a new Eclipse instance that will run your plugin.
To make your plugin be a part of your ordinary Eclipse installation, you will need to export it to a jar and copy that jar to the dropins catalog.
What is the straight-forward way of importing one of the GWT samples in eclipse Helios + GWT 2.1.1. It seems like the content of the zip file doesn't contain any project files for eclipse.
I tried the following:
create a GWT project 'bla'
Delete the src ad war folder and
replace it with the src and war
folder from the sample
refresh the project in eclipse
hit 'run'
[ERROR] Unable to find
'bla/bla.gwt.xml' on
your classpath; could be a typo, or
maybe you forgot to include a
classpath entry for source?
So I go to the run configuration and remove the path for the example projects from the arguments list. I also changed the name of hosted html page to the one in the sample. Hit 'run' and:
[ERROR] Invalid version number "2.0"
passed to external.gwtOnLoad(),
expected "2.1"; your hosted mode
bootstrap file may be out of date;
Now I need an out of date version of GWT to run these samples? What is going on, I just want to look at a sample to learn a new concept.
Reading the readme.txt in the GWT samples directory I came across a solution that works on Eclipse 3.7. Assuming you have ant installed on your machine, execute the following from the sample's directory:
ant eclipse.generate
This will generate both the .classpath and .project files needed to import the sample into Eclipse and run it.
Here the relevant excerpt from README.txt:
-- Option A: Import your project into Eclipse (recommended) --
If you use Eclipse, you can simply import the generated project into
Eclipse. We've tested against Eclipse 3.4 and 3.5. Later versions
will likely also work, earlier versions may not.
If the directory containing this file does not have a .classpath or
.project file, generate them by running 'ant eclipse.generate'
In Eclipse, go to the File menu and choose:
File -> Import... -> Existing Projects into Workspace
Browse to the directory containing this file, select "Mail".
Be sure to uncheck "Copy projects into workspace" if it is checked.
Click Finish. You can now browse the project in Eclipse.
To launch your web app in GWT development mode, go to the Run menu and
choose:
Run -> Open Debug Dialog...
Under Java Application, you should find a launch configuration
named "Mail". Select and click "Debug".
You can now use the built-in debugger to debug your web app in
development mode.
In eclipse 3.7, instead of Run -> Open Debug Dialog..., its Run -> Debug Configurations. I got both the showcase and mail samples running following those commands. Should work for all of the other samples as well.
The examples that come with GWT SDK were built in different ways. Some are Maven builds, others use Ant. Eclipse can handle these common builds directly, but you have to choose the right option.
So, if you want to open the Expenses project in eclipse, you would look in the projects root directory (i.e. ../gwt2.4/samples/Expenses) where you'll find a file called pom.xml. That is a Maven build file. To import it into your Work space select:
File->Import...
Open Maven->Existing Maven Projects, and click on Next > button
Browse your file system til you reach the Expenses folder. Click on it and Select OK.
At this point it will show you the Projects in that directory in the Projects: area of the window...only one in this case: /pom.xml com.google.gwt.sample.expenses:...etc.
click on the checkbox for that project, Next>
Finally, it ask you to map plugins. You'll need to select in the drop down menu under Actions the required plugins (such as m2e).
In other project folders you may find a build.xml file instead. That's an Ant build file. To import that you do something similar, but different (of course!):
File->New->Project...
Open the Java folder and select "Java Project from Existing Ant Buildfile", Next >
Click the Browse button, dig through your directory to the project folder and select the build.xml file, and Open it.
Project name should fill in automatically, just select the declaration to use in the middle window and click Finish.
Since those tutorial only include the src and war directory, the idea remains to:
create a new project following this tutorial
remove any created class part of the example files which are automatically added (see Issue 1547)
Unfortunately the Google Plugin does not allow to created a new Web Application Project without creating template files. The template files are nice for the first try but annoying if you want to start from scratch with a new GWT application.
copy the src and war directory in place within the now empty project
Following your ticket 5847 (No easy and straight-forward way to make examples work in eclipse),
as xo4yhamope comments, you need the right GWT option.
and did you consider the Issue 5038 about the error message:
Unable to find 'xxxx.gwt.xml' on your classpath;
could be a typo, or maybe you forgot to include a classpath entry for source?
This message usually means you attempted to refresh the browser before dev mode has had a chance to finish loading the module.
The uppercase/lowercase confusion happens because the module has been renamed to 'stockwatcher', but dev mode cannot map 'stockwatcher' to "StockWatcher' until it has finished loading the entire module.
So, it's just a matter of waiting a few seconds longer after the Development Mode pane says I should go to http://127.0.0.1:8888/StockWatcher.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997 ?
That seems a little messed up. It should wait until it's actually ready before telling me it's ok, because users (like me) are going to go there as soon as the UI says it's ready.
The other confusing part is that the server begins serving the host page as soon as that message in the UI comes up. Because this was happening, I assumed that the server was completely up, even though (as it turns out) it wasn't.
Anyway, waiting a few more seconds seems to resolve the "Unable to find 'stockwatcher.gwt.xml' on your classpath" problem. Thanks!
I'm beginning to suspect this is a bug in the samples. I am adding this answer so it can be marked as an answer when I get confirmation about that.
I was trying out some other samples and came across this page. At the top is a little explanation for how to download and import the sample.
Before you begin
The StockWatcher project
This tutorial builds on the GWT
concepts and the StockWatcher
application created in the Build a
Sample GWT Application tutorial.
If you have not completed the Build a
Sample GWT Application tutorial and
are familiar with basic GWT concepts,
you can import the StockWatcher
project as coded to this point.
Download the StockWatcher project.
Unzip the file.
Import the project into Eclipse
From the File menu, select the Import... menu option.
Select the import source General > Existing Projects into
Workspace. Click the Next button.
For the root directory, browse to and select the StockWatcher
directory (from the unzipped file).
Click the Finish button.
If you are using ant, edit the
gwt.sdk property in
StockWatcher/build.xml to point to
where you unzipped GWT.
Now this is what I call straight-forward and easy.
At that point I had already built the StockWatcher in a previous tutorial but I got intrigued by the fact that it was explained exactly as I tried it the first time. So I downloaded the project and it had the correct eclipse project structure. I tried to import it 'et voila' I have the project in eclipse. I runs out of the box (with warnings). That is how expected the samples to be.
This experience leads me into thinking that the sample projects are malformed (as eclipse projects) and need to be updated. Let's hope my issue report leads to results.
-- Option A: Import your project into Eclipse (recommended) --
If you use Eclipse, you can simply import the generated project into Eclipse.
We've tested against Eclipse 3.4 and 3.5. Later versions will likely also
work, earlier versions may not.
If the directory containing this file does not have a .classpath or .project
file, generate them by running 'ant eclipse.generate'
In Eclipse, go to the File menu and choose:
File -> Import... -> Existing Projects into Workspace
Browse to the directory containing this file,
select "Mail".
Be sure to uncheck "Copy projects into workspace" if it is checked.
Click Finish.
You can now browse the project in Eclipse.
Copy from readme.txt supplied by samples. I tried this method, it's OK.
To import GWT showcase(2.5.1) I did following steps:
Create a new Google Web Application Project
New –> Other –> Google –> Web Application Project
Provide the project name “Showcase” and the Package name is com.google.gwt.sample.showcase
Click Finish
Go to eclipse plugin folder and traverse to the gwt
Under that folder go to gwt-2.3.\samples\Showcase
Copy (Ctrl C) all the contents. The contents are
a. src
b. test
c. war
d. build.xml
e. README.txt
In the eclipse, right click on the Showcase project and paste. Overwrite all the files
The files should start copying without any problem
Right click on the Showcase and Run As “Web Application”
You should have your Showcase working like Gem!
For me it worked like a charm ;)
