I can open one of my Xcode project in Xcode and add Application supports iTunes file sharing=Yes to plist with Xcode and through Xcode directly, Now I was wandering if this work code be done completely via Terminal as well?
My Goal is type a command in Terminal that does the same work for plist just with Terminal and without opening Xcode program and doing it manually just with Terminal command. For example I have a random Xcode project saved on my Desktop, and since Xcode is accessible via Terminal, I want make this work.
As #Sweeper already answered you should got to the path of your .plist file and then write the following command:
vim Info.plist
This will open an editor which then you need to click on "i", then input the following line into the main tag:
<key>UIFileSharingEnabled</key><true/>
Then click "esc" then ":" then "w" then "q" and finally "Enter" and you are done.
Everything is fine until I changed the preferences -> Externals -> coqtop in CoqIde and then I found myself in trouble launching CoqIde as the picture shows. It seems that I wrote the wrong path in the coqtop. I have tried to reinstall the coqplatform and It seems useless. So how can I restart my CoqIde?
On Windows the user configuration files of CoqIDE are in:
C:\Users\<Yourname>\AppData\Local\coq
Please note that AppData is typically a hidden folder, so you can't see it. Either enable display of hidden folders in file explorer or use the console.
You need to delete the file coqiderc in this folder (or fix it with a text editor).
i see that a solution to a [roblem with tomcat and server creation is to access "{workspace-directory}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings."
but i can't seem to see these folders... all i have in my workspace is project and a "RemoteSystemTempFiles" folder, please help?
On OS X files and directories with names which start with '.' are 'hidden' and Finder does not show them. You can see them in Terminal using the ls command, it is also possible to make Finder show hidden files (see for example Show hidden files in OS X)
Am using Mac OS version 10.7.4. In my iPhone application am creating a database. Now i want to check that database in documents directory path. And i know it'll be stored in users/iphone/library section. But in mac os 10.7.4 version Library Folder is missing in finder. Where can i find the library folder in my mac machine? Thanks in advance.
In Mac-Lion, Library files are hidden by default. To make it visible, open the terminal and type the following code
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Now relaunch the finder, you can see the library files.
its located at this path ~/Library
Type this in your Terminal and it's going to be revealed immediately:
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
I found the answer by myself.
To unhide the library folder,
Go to Terminal and type "chflags nohidden ~/Library/". You'll find the Library folder in your finder now.
To hide your Library folder again,
Go to Terminal and type "chflags hidden ~/Library". This will hide your library folder from finder.
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *document = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(document);
open your finder, GO > Go to folder > paste the path
Please look at the following solutions: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html
Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the 10.7 release. If it's necessary to access these files for Adobe-related troubleshooting, use one of the following methods to make the user library content visible.
Method 1
In the Finder, choose Go > Go To Folder.
In the Go To Folder dialog, type ~/Library
Click Go.
Method 2
Hold down the Alt (Option) key when using the Go menu. The user library folder is listed below the current user's home directory.
Note: After you open the Library folder, you can drag the Library icon from the top of that window to the Dock, Side Bar, or toolbar. That way, it's readily accessible.
Method 3
The following method makes the user library folder permanently visible.
Note: Adobe recommends that only advanced users use this method.
Launch Terminal from Mac HD > Applications > Utilities.
From within Terminal type the following command and press Return:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Enter the system administrator password, if prompted, and press Return.
Note: The System administrator password is not visible as you type it.
Close Terminal for this change to take effect.
Got to Utilities and open Terminal and simply execute this query to show Library Folder
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
and for hiding any Folder use same query with "hidden" word like
chflags hidden ~/Library
I tried chflags command but not work for me(10.13.4). It was solved with steps:
open /Users/${username} in finder
right click and popup shows, click "show view options", and a new popup shows
check "Show Library Folder"
How can I open multiple Eclipse workspaces at the same time on the Mac?
On other platforms, I can just launch extra Eclipse instances, but the Mac will not let me open the same application twice. Is there a better way than keeping two copies of Eclipse?
This seems to be the supported native method in OS X:
cd /Applications/eclipse/
open -n Eclipse.app
Be sure to specify the ".app" version (directory); in OS X Mountain Lion erroneously using the symbolic link such as open -n eclipse, might get one GateKeeper stopping access:
"eclipse" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.
Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers.
Even removing the extended attribute com.apple.quarantine does not fix that. Instead, simply using the ".app" version will rely on your previous consent, or prompt you once:
"Eclipse" is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?
By far the best solution is the OSX Eclipse Launcher presented in http://torkild.resheim.no/2012/08/opening-multiple-eclipse-instances-on.html It can be downloaded in the Marketplace http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/osx-eclipse-launcher#.UGWfRRjCaHk
I use it everyday and like it very much! To demonstrate the simplicity of usage just take a look at the following image:
EDIT: Milhous's answer seems to be the officially supported way to do this as of 10.5. Earlier version of OS X and even 10.5 and up should still work using the following instructions though.
Open the command line (Terminal)
Navigate to your Eclipse installation folder, for instance:
cd /Applications/eclipse/
cd /Developer/Eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse
cd /Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse
cd /Users/<usernamehere>/eclipse/jee-neon/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS
Launch Eclipse: ./eclipse &
This last command will launch eclipse and immediately background the process.
Rinse and repeat to open as many unique instances of Eclipse as you want.
Warning
You might have to change the Tomcat server ports in order to run your project in different/multiple Tomcat instances, see Tomcat Server Error - Port 8080 already in use
To make this you need to navigate to the Eclipse.app directory and use the following command:
open -n Eclipse.app
Actually a much better (GUI) solution is to copy the Eclipse.app to e.g. Eclipse2.app and you'll have two Eclipse icons in Dock as well as Eclipse2 in Spotlight. Repeat as necessary.
If the question is how to easily use Eclipse with multiple different workspaces, then you have to use a kludge because shortcuts in OS X do not provide a mechanism for passing command line arguments, for example the "--data" argument that Eclipse takes to specify the workspace. While there may be different reasons to create a duplicate copy of your Eclipse install, doing it for this purpose is, IMNSHO, lame (now you have to maintain multiple eclipse configurations, plugins, etc?).
In any case, here is a workaround. Create the following script in the (single) Eclipse directory (the directory that contains Eclipse.app), and give it a ".command" suffix (e.g. eclipse-workspace2.command) so that you can create an alias from it:
#!/bin/sh
# open, as suggested by Milhous
open -n $(dirname $0)/Eclipse.app --args -data /path/to/your/other/workspace
Now create an alias to that file on your desktop or wherever you want it.
You will probably have to repeat this process for each different workspace, but at least it will use the same Eclipse installation.
2018 Update since many answers are no longer valid
OS X Heigh Sierra (10.13) with Eclipse Oxygen
Go to wherever your Eclipse is installed. Right-click -> Show Package Contents -> Contents -> MacOS -> Double-click the executable called eclipse
A terminal window will open and a new instance of eclipse will start.
Note that if you close the terminal window, the new Eclipse instance will be closed also.
To make your life easier, you can drag the executable to your dock for easy access
Instead of copying Eclipse.app around, create an automator that runs the shell script above.
Run automator, create Application.
choose Utilities->Run shell script, and add in the above script (need full path to eclipse)
Then you can drag this to your Dock as a normal app.
Repeat for other workspaces.
You can even simply change the icon - https://discussions.apple.com/message/699288?messageID=699288򪮘
One another way is just to duplicate only the "Eclipse.app" file instead of making multiple copies of entire eclipse directory. Right-Click on the "Eclipse.app" file and click the duplicate option to create a duplicate.
If you're like me, you probably have terminal running most of the time as well.
You could just create an alias in /Users//.bash_profile like this
alias eclipse='open -n path_to_eclipse.app'
then all you have to do is just open the terminal and type eclipse.
Based on a previous answer that helped me, but different directory:
cd /Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS
./eclipse &
Thanks
You can create an AppleScript file to open Eclipse with a given workspace. You can even save the AppleScript file as an Application, which is equivalent to creating an alias with arguments in Windows OS.
Open Script Editor and type the following:
do shell script "open '/path/to/your/Eclipse/installation' -n --args -data /path/to/your/workspace"
For instance:
do shell script "open '/Applications/Eclipse.app' -n --args -data /MyWorkspaces/Personal"
Press the Run button to check it's working.
This script can be saved as such, but I prefer to save it as an Application. That way I can customize the icon by copying the *.icns icon from the original Eclipse.app bundle to the script application bundle.
To open an App folder, use the "see contents" contextual menu option. It should look like this:
Where "main.scpt" is the AppleScript file and "applet.icns" is the icon from the original Eclipse bundle.
Launch terminal and run open -n /Applications/Eclipse.app for a new instance.
I found this solution a while back, can't remember where but it still seems to work well for me.
Create a copy of Eclipse.app for each workspace you want to work in (for this example ProjectB.app), then open ProjectB.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini and add these two lines at the beginning of the file:
-data
/Users/eric/Workspaces/projectb
... substituting where your workspace is located. When you launch ProjectB.app it will automatically start with that workspace instead of prompting for a location, and you should be able to run it at the same time as other Eclipse instances with no problem.
In Terminal simply paste below line and hit enter ..
/Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse ; exit;
If you want to open multiple workspaces and you are not a terminal guy, just locate the Unix executable file in your eclipse folder and click it.
The path to the said file is
Eclipse(folder) -> eclipse(right click) -> Show package
Contents -> Contents -> MacOs -> eclipse(unix executable file)
Clicking on this executable will open a separate instance of eclipse.
A more convenient way:
Create an executable script as mentioned above:
#!/bin/sh
cd /Applications/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.6
open -n Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.6.app
In you current instance of Flashbuilder or Eclipse, add a new external tool configuration. This is the button next to the debug/run/profile buttons on your toolbar. In that dialog, click on "Program" and add a new one. Give it the name you want and in the "Location" field, put the path to the script from step 1:
/Users/username/bin/flashbuilder
You can stop at step 2, but I prefer adding a custom icon to the toolbar. I use a the Quick Launch plugin to do that:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/quicklaunch/files/
After adding the plugin, go to "Run"->"Organize Quick Lauches" and add the external tool config from step 2. Then you can configure the icon for it.
After you save that, you'll see the icon in your toolbar. Now you can just click it every time you want a new Flashbuilder/Eclipse instance.
You can run multiple instances of Eclipse by creating a pseudonym for Eclipse application in it's folder and using it for running new Eclipse instance
Lets try downloading this in your eclipse on Mac you will be able to open multiple eclipse at a time Link
Name : macOS Eclipse Launcher
Steps :
Go to eclipse Market place.
Search for "macOS Eclipse Launcher" and install.
It will restart .
Now under file menu check for open option > there you will find other projects to open also at same time .
Window -> New Window
This opens a new window and you can then open another project in it. You can use this as a workaround hopefully.
It actually allows you to work in same workspace.
