How to define my own "Dynamic Web Project" wizard? - eclipse

Eclipse Indigo has a "Dynamic Web Project" wizard(File->New ->Other->Web->Dynamic Web Project)
I am not familiar with the plugin development, but I want to create a wizard like "Dynamic Web Project"? Can anyone tell me how to do that? Any tutorial step by step? more detailed more bettor.
Thank you!

If you want "to create a wizard like "Dynamic Web Project"", the Vogella's tutorial won't help much. And any other tutorial as well. Oh, yes, they will help a bit in understanding the process. And how to make pages. But the example primitive wizards will be of no practical use to you in creating the whole real wizard.
You need to get the "Dynamic Web Project" wizard source from plugins view. It is very probable you haven't imported these sources yet. Do it (file-import-plugin development - plugins and fragments ... And set import from repositories!). After that copy the sources of the named project into your project, change its "outer" name, as it shows itself and try if it runs. Make it run.
After that adapt it to your needs by small steps, checking if it continues to run and is doing what you want.
Don't try to understand everything you see there, but try to understand what you are changing.
Feel free to ask - I have managed the same task (with another wizard) just now and I do remember the process yet.

Here's a good tutorial on creating wizard in eclipse:

How can I add dependancies to a Spring Tool Suite 4 project?

Using STS 3.7, I created a new "Spring Starter Project" by right clicking in the package explorer and selecting new -> Spring Starter Project and, of course, selecting what I needed.
Now, I would like to add JPA to it. I looked at some sample JPA projects and see there are many dependencies, and I'm thinking they vary based upon what persistence engine I'm going to use.
So, I'm wondering if there is an easy way to edit the project to add what the starter project creation feature would have if I had selected it in the first place.
Failing that, whats the best way to figure out what dependancies are needed for any particular thing and add them? I tried a few different things but the only result was a broken project.
Thanks very much...
If you right-click on the generated pom file, there is an option "Spring -> Edit Starters" where you can add more of the Spring Boot starters. This is what you are looking for, I guess. In addition to that I would like to recommend the guides at http://spring.io/guides, if you are looking for additional advice. There are a bunch of data related guides as well. Hope this helps!

Create plug-in that creates a snapshot of the source code currently opened on editor - Eclipse CDT

I need to create a plug-in for Eclipse CDT that sends a "snapshot" of the source code of the currently opened editor each time the code is "built".
I am already capable of doing it each time the user presses a custom button created by me, but it would be great if it could be done when the "standard" "build" action is performed.
Do i need no create a plug-in of the type "builder"?
I am using Eclipse 4.4.0...
Can someone help me?! (Sorry for some english mistakes... :( )
One solution would be to create your own custom "Builder". Instead of actually building the code, it would invoke the functionality you already have.
For information on how to use the eclipse build system, please have a look here: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/FAQ/How_do_I_implement_an_Eclipse_builder%3F.
Also, this website goes into more details about building in eclipse: https://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Builders/builders.htm. However, I think that the first one should do.
As a side note, this works with any kind of eclipse project (JDT and CDT). The build described there is common to all flavours.
Hope it helps,

How can I simply run "forminput" application in wicket example page using eclipse and tomcat

I am new to wicket and dont know how to use mvn, i want to run; http://www.wicket-library.com/wicket-examples/forminput/?2 application. In the link there source codes, so how can i create project and call the jars, libraries and get work the project. Which steps should i follow. Thanks for your helps. Soso
I really think you need to start by learning Maven. It is really simple to learn the basics and it will help you for a big part of your future projects. The time you'll spend learning Maven will allow you to understand your future framework and model your projects the right way. I think it requires less time to understand Maven than a whole discussion here explaining how to run it properly in Eclipse.
Basically, all you will need to do is run mvn jetty:run in the folder of your clone of wicket-examples to get started. Once you got there, grab a tutorial or two explaining the basics of Maven in order to really get started.

Mapping between resource file and model object in Eclipse plugin app

Please anyone help me understand and use IDE.openEditor(IWorkbenchPage, IFile).
I have a resource file (xml format), it contains my model objects. I'm writing a wizard to create it, save it into workspace, view it inside a tree view (I use CommonNavigator) and open it in an editor. I need to know the control flow of this all. How to map between resource file and model objects, how the navigator can show that objects and how to open editor that associated with my resource file.
I'm sorry, I'm a newbie in Eclipse field. I know I need too much, but please give me at least an idea.
Thanks a lot.
A great character once said... "You have much to learn young padawan".
Here's a great place to start your journey though the basics of Eclipse plug-in / RCP development...

If you really want to get down and dirty into the bowels of Eclipse, you can use Eclipse itself to teach you the dirty details about what's really going on.
Figure out how to view Eclipse source code inside of Eclipse.
Set break points at interesting points in Eclipse source code that you want to know more about.
Use the 'Eclipse Application' run configuration to run an instance of Eclipse from within your main Eclipse.
Use your newly launched Eclipse to preform the tasks you want to mimic and hopefully, you'll hit one of your break points and see how the Eclipse developers did what you want to do.

Eclipse - New Project

I need to modify project creation in eclipse. I would like to add my own project creation. For example, when developer selectes File->New->Project, I want my option (i.e, XYZ Java Project) under to be available. Is this possible ? If yes, i am looking for some direction to begin with ?
Thanks.
To begin with you need to contribute your own Eclipse Plug in. Download Eclipse plugin developers IDE from this Location.
You can contribute a Custom Project Wizard through Extensions.
Define your Project Nature
For reference you can check this example Create a Custom Project in Eclipse – New Project Wizard: the Behavior
Hope this helps !!
Yes you can. A robust way to do this is to make an eclipse plugin so that it gets added to the menu. I was just looking into this myself a couple of days ago and this is what I found.
Here are some links:

Better yet though, let me just show you an answer about this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/299316/879485
If you use Maven you can have a look at archetypes. Maven also has the ability to create Eclipse projects. With this you should have all the tools necessary to automate whatever project layout you need to have.
