Netbeans IDE sometimes stopped auto-uploading. How to enable it? - netbeans

Sometimes the connection to the server has problems and the automatic uploading feature just goes away. When this happens the file cannot automatically get uploaded after editing.
How can I re-enable automatic uploading? The only way I know is to restart the netbeans IDE. Is there a better, faster way?

Eclipse hangs when trying to load org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.swt

I have been using Eclipse Luna on Mac OS 10.13 for quite some time. It started hanging when I try to open the app. Eclipse hangs on "loading org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.swt". (See attached screenshot).
enter image description here
I guess the problem is in my user account, as Eclipse starts OK with a blank workspace when opened from another user account.
I tried deleting the .metadata folder in my workspace and the .eclipse folder in my home directory as suggested in some other threads here, but this didn't help.
Any ideas what else should I clean or reinstall?
Thanks,
Irina Popova
In case someone will stumble upon this.
Occasionally Eclipse Luna is going nuts about external monitor or multi-monitor setup. Crashes unexpectedly, after restart freezes on "loading org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.swt" message.
Restart Eclipse without external monitors and reconnect them back.

Will the settings & extensions would be retained after switching to new Windows setup?

I did the update and got recommendation I now use new Windows Setup. I clicked learn more and went to site page that said I would be prompted to switch and all my settings & extensions would be retained, but there was no prompt to switch. The prompt was to download. I did, and when went to install, got message saying I should uninstall prior installation. It is not at all clear that my settings and extensions will in fact be kept. Does anyone know for sure. I don't want to uninstall, install new version, and then discover that all my settings and extensions have been wiped out. Please help?
Sorry, I should have followed up on this a long time ago. My question wasn't at all clear. It was about updating to a new version of Visual Studio Code. I had been instructed to uninstall the prior installation first. I feared that uninstalling would wipe out all my prior settings and configuration changes.
I later found from VSCode that uninstalling would not do so, but that they would be retained in the new installation. They were.
I am not sure if the settings and extension are preserved when you are making the switch.
But I can recommend few ways in which you can preserve your settings and extensions.
Sync settings
Create a symbolic link between both of your editors in which you can share the same setting and extension, without worrying about keeping the setting and extension in sync with both the editors.

On NetBeans, my Node.js server does not automatically restart after changes

I've been using Atom, Sublime Text and Code, and all of those would make the server restart after any changes. With Netbens it doesn't happen.
I have two different servers in my project, one for the client and other for API. Simply executing the commands in either my OS's terminal or Netbeans's terminal also doesn't make the server to restart. Tried to look for suggestions but those I found also didn't happen. The solution was to modify the start file in Properties > Run and check the only checkbox it's in there, but nothing.
What's necessary to do in Netbeans to refresh the server automatically after saving any file? And also, how to run two at the same time? Client and API.

Why eclipse preference general->workspace->refresh using native hooks or polling not working?

I'm using vim in cygwin writing javascript code, using eclipse tomcat as web server. I checked the preference refresh using native hooks or polling. But after I write the buffer in vim, the project won't get refreshed, so the hosted application won't get republished neither. Only after I press F5 on the project manually, then everything works fine. Can someone help here? What am I doing wrong?
By default, Vim writes the file contents to a temporary file and then moves that over the original, see :help backup. Since this is now a different file (handle), the hooks set up by Eclipse may stop working.
You can make Vim override the original file by setting
:set backupcopy=yes

Netbeans won't start-up - 7.4

I force shutdown my pc by holding down the power button till it went off. Just before it shutdown, I saw a netbeans pop-up just come up before the system went off. Before initializing the shutdown, I had closed netbeans, and I think that netbeans had not fully shutdown. The pop-up might have been the last procedure the IDE automatically does, like those that flash the cmd which almost immediately closes by itself.
The problem is that now netbeans won't start up. It only shows the blue window then dissapears, not to appear again, even in the task manager.
How can I fix this?
