How can I give feedback on Eclipse?
Here's what I've tried:
Eclipse -> Help -> Report Bug or Enhancement... takes me to a Bug window that gives me a Anonymous can not submit Tasks! error when I try to submit it. I have to spend extra time explaining that I'm not submitting a bug, but an enhancement, or rather a piece of feedback. I feel there must be something more effortless and painless than this method.

If you click the "Anonymous can not submit..." link, it will bring up a dialog to configure your connection to Eclipse bugzilla system. Since you obviously don't have an account there, use the "Create new account" link in that dialog to create an account (it dumps you to the web site to do that).
Eclipse Bugzilla is for entering bug reports or feature/enhancement requests. If what you want to say is neither of those, try posting on the Eclipse Community Forums. Also, if you would prefer to file a bug or enhancement via the standard web interface, you can access it here. It's generally a good idea to search for similar reports before posting a new one. It's also not a bad idea to discuss the topic on the forums before creating a bugzilla report.

Bugzilla, no login required to view bugs

Bugzilla has to have a way to stop anyone random person to view the bugs, but I can't find it. This question is similar to How to prevent anonymous (users that are not logged in) BugZilla access? but there is no answer to the question.
To elaborate further, as of right now, anyone can access my bugzilla server, and click on the Browse button to view any bugs we have listed. I've searched through all the administrative settings, and I can't find a way to disallow this. Surely it exists. Any help would be appreciated.
using Bugzilla 5.0.3
Go to Administration page, select User Authentication and then find the option "requirelogin".
Make sure it is checked as "ON"

Creating a Box web app integration / callback that works only on folders?

I'm trying to create a web app integration for Box.com that is available from folders, like the "Send with Gmail" or "Send to Chatter" actions. It seems that integrations that we create from http://developers.box.com only work from files, and not from folders.
I did something similar to that in the past and I vaguely remember that the Box.com support team had to modify by action from their back-end to enable it; I compared integrations in my previous app with the new one I created and I see no visible difference in the configuration.
Has anyone done something similar recently and know the current procedure? I also tried opening a support case from their website and it hasn't been answered either.
The Box support team got back to me on this one and changed the configuration of my web app integration. It's now working the way I expect. They confirmed that they're the only one capables of doing this configuration change - it's not possible to do it from developers.box.com. If anyone needs that - just open a support case on community.box.com and they'll do it for you.

Joomla 3.0 SEF URLs sending to random wrong articles

My site eighttwentydesign is running Joomla 3.0. I have SEF URLs on, and have done for sometime without issue. But today when you go to the site, and click on anything, say portfolio you get the home page under the portfolio's URL, but if you add a leading slash at the end, the right article (portfolio) shows. Additionally, if you click on say "Web Design" it sends you to the Portfolio page. I might add this menu is a menu within Joomla - not be adding internal links manually
Doesn't work: http://www.eighttwentydesign.com/portfolio
Does work: http://www.eighttwentydesign.com/portfolio/
I have checked the .htaccess, and actually reverted it to the original with no luck, I have check Global Config but I can't see anything which may cause this. It was working nicely yesterday. I haven't adapted with any PHP source or anything in the past few weeks, the only notifiable thing I have done is yesterday enabling the Cache - have others experienced problems after doing this? I have disabled it under global config, with no avail.
Exact Joomla Version is 3.0.2 with very few plugins
I do have daily backups, but would rather a solution and be able to figure out a prevention from that, rather than just putting on a band aid.
I've search for a good couple of hours, and aside from just not being able to fix it, it appears no one else is experiencing this, so I am starting to think it may be a bug.
Just as I was about to post this I discovered my solution.
If you are having your SEF URLs display the wrong content then solve it by disabling the Cache plugin. You can do this by doing the following steps
Login to Joomla backend
Navigate to Extensions > Plugins
Go to "System Cache"
Disable system cache
I hope this helps someone in the future as I really struggled to find any answers on this.

How to create exportable links to code lines using eclipse

I want to ask my co-workers Alice and Bob specific questions about particular lines in code, e.g. com.example.HelloWorld.java:l.435. It would be nice if I could take some links out of eclipse, mail them in text form to another developer (also using eclipse) and go over to the co-worker and talk about those lines (without manually going to com.example.HelloWorld.java:l.435), but have some clickable link instead.
I know the bookmarks feature of eclipse, but I don't see a how to insert bookmarks.
Edit: I think I'm going to create a plug-in to make bookmarks create a fake exception stacktrace, which can be inserted into stack trace console. Has the benefit that the receiver can use it without installing something. [added code-review tag]
There is no way built-in to do that kind of thing, but it's an interesting idea for a plugin. Have you tried searching in the Eclipse Marketplace (available from the Help menu) to see if there's anything close?
An alternative that might meet your productivity need (thought not your specific feature request), is real-time shared editing via the DocShare feature of ECF. If your entire team were to set this up, you could use it to do a shared editing session with teammates.

XMLSpy in Eclipse

I need to test XMLSpy functionality in Eclipse. After I switch Eclipse to XMLSpy Perspective and QTP is runnig (record or run mode), it does not work. Could you help me?
Thanks.
Some more information would be helpful. "It does not work" is extremely vague. What does not work? Do you mean that QTP does not record anything at all? Do you mean that QTP records something, but it is incorrect? Does it record some of your test, but misses one particular control, such as a grid? Do you have the right QTP add-ins/plugins enabled to support automation with Eclipse?
Altova support does not seem to have any reference including "Quik Test Pro" issues.
However, check for other plugins (other than XmlSpy):
similar tools has been known to fail in interaction with TPTP for instance.
Check also your Error log view, and complete your question with error messages displayed at the time of the recording.
