I use Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers for most of my coding, html, css, php etc etc. Recently however I have noticed an issue where after doing a combination of "something" the display of my files completely screws up and does all sorts of weird things.
For example if I try and add a on starting to do it the characters just start going all over the place and giving me display issues like that shown in the attached screenshot.
It's a little tricky to explain exactly what's happening but eclipse basically becomes unusable as each keypress seems to do something random and mess up the page even more.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I'm using a mac on Snow Leopard with Eclipse Indigo.
Just to update this. To resolve this issue I ended up downloading the latest version of eclipse and overwriting the eclipse directing with this. I tried just doing an update but this did not work so I'm guessing I had some corrupt files or something.
The good thing about eclipse is that you have a workspace folder that is essentially separate, so if you replace eclipse you can just re-import your old workspace.
ALl seems to be working as normal so far!

I'm forced to work with Eclipse (3.6) now, and i would like to re-use my favorite Sun keyboard with the left function block for cut/copy/paste/undo/find/etc (can't code without it ..).
So far i got it working with about every IDE/Editor i used, but NOT with eclipse. The keybinding manager simply ignores these keys.
Any hints? Has anybody got it working? I thought it might be related to Java, but i have other Java tools that work (freemind, for example).
Thanks,
Felix.
Ok, i found a workaround by installing "autokey" and defining some rules that send -C/V/X/Y/Z to the eclipse window.
But i'm still curious why Eclipse ignores these keycodes/keysyms, especially since autokey needs to be started now (and sometimes crashes).
I have had this problems for a couple of times but usually could solve it by an update. However, this fix does not work for me anymore.
Actually, two problems here:
The minor one: I have osX 10.8.3 and Eclipse Juno (M20130204-1200) installed. Since a good amount of time, it takes eclipse ~ 4-5 minutes to start up for the first time after the system start. Once it was closed and is re-opend again, it starts up quick. I think this problem came since apple started to mess around with the JRE? Does anybody also experienced this delay? Could it be that one of the installed plugins checks for updates and causes the delay?
The major one: after eclipse is fully up & running, I can not open .py files anymore. When I open my pydev project (btw. pydev 2.7.3), eclipse freezes and I need to kill the whole thing and restart. -> I can not use it for python coding anymore, which is my primary task...
Suggestions? Re-install eclipse maybe?
Thank you for suggestions,
El
Can't really comment on #1, but for #2, can you try attaching jvisualvm to see what's going on there? (and create a thread-dump and post it somewhere so that I can take a look at it).
I'd ask you to create a bug-report for that, but the new tracker is still not up (I hope I'm able to put it up right after the funding at http://igg.me/at/liclipse is finished).
The problem was resolved by following these steps. They essentially disable one

I'm having issues with Eclipse Helios (3.6.2) x64 (32-bit, too) hanging/freezing frequently when I attempt to edit .jsp files using Eclipse's built-in editor (Web Tools, J2EE package). I've been doing editing with 3rd party apps, but I would really like to have proper JSP syntax highlighting and auto-completion. The same symptoms occur when I attempt to edit .html files in Eclipse, too (though it's not as much of an issue since little is lost using a 3rd party html editor).
They are just plain .jsp files... not part of a J2EE or Web Project. The issue seems to be whenever I attempt to add tags... but it doesn't seem to consistently cause the problem. It seems to be temperamental.
Think it's a reference issue of sorts? Auto-completion issue in Eclipse?
I saw that other people had issues with this, but I wasn't able to find a clear cut solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Old question that probably is resolved already. But in case anyone comes across this question in a search, it might be helpful to know that there is a bug reported about this
That usually happens as eclipse plug-ins are lazy loaded. JSP editor is loaded the first tim you attempt to load any JSP. It generally takes a while, ranging from few seconds to couple of minutes. Just wait for this duration the first time and the JSP editor would load very quickly until the next restart. My tip is to avoid closing/restarting eclipse altogether.
Also, to further speed up the load time, turn off any validators (such as JavaScript syntax validator) which you think you may never need.
i had put two libraries on the build path of my project, and then i closed eclipse for the night. when i re-opened eclipse, and opened the same workspace, the libraries "aren't working" in that eclipse isn't doing any of the helpful things it was previously doing, like underlining bad syntax with red squigglies, reporting things that didn't get imported, etc. anyone have an idea of what happened?
Maybe you have disabled "Project->Build Automatically"?
Try Project->Clean. Perhaps the perspective has changed, e.g. from one language to another so it isn'd doing any syntax highlighting
How can I view the intermediate translation done to JSP and JSPX pages by WTP? I'm getting weird syntax errors in my Problems tab of Eclipse in a project that has plenty of .jspx pages. They don't affect anything in the running application (Tomcat 6.0) and they appeared only over the last 2 weeks, after an update.
The reason why I'd like to view the output is that I'm using the Stripes framework at http://stripesframework.org and the errors disappear for a particular .jspx file after I remove the <stripes:errors /> line of that file. At the same time, the syntax errors only appeared after I did recent fresh install of Eclipse at work, but then an update of Eclipse at home shortly therafter. I'd like to see the output to determine whose problem this should be (WTP, Stripes, or maybe just me :).
Remember that this issue is somewhat cosmetic, as it doesn't affect anything functionally. It simply spams my Problems tab in Eclipse and shows the little red X icons in the project explorer.
Right now you'd have to add the separate automated tests download to do this, and only in the 3.1 branch, but it enables a "Show Translation" command through Ctrl+Shift+9. Beware that the translation generated isn't 100% the same as the server would create at runtime--it's not intended to be executed. Also, the most recent 3.0.3 builds contain fixes to the translator that should clear up these kinds of problems (NESTED variables + self-closing tags). 3.0.3 is due in November and should update cleanly into Ganymede SR1.
I've seen the eclipse JSP editor get really confused over almost nothing. You said the problem goes away if you remove the tag. Does it come back if you put the tag back? I know that Eclipse 3.3 sometimes had some issues with JSP files where opening them, and forcing a save would clear the file of error messages (I haven't tried 3.4 yet). Maybe that's what's happening to you. Other than that, do you have all the proper includes / xml namespaces defined in the files?
I'm having exactly same problem with JSP and <stripes:errors/> tag in Ganymede. With Europa, there were no errors. Now it displays a couple of weird syntax errors on the problems pane. But as Silvaran stated it's just cosmetic, since the project builds correctly and works. It's still annoying though.
