What causes a Netbeans project name to appear in bold? - netbeans

I made two similar Python projects in Netbeans 6.9.1, and one of them appears in bold. What causes a Netbeans project name to appear in bold? None of my other project names are in bold.

"handbrake melissa02" is currently your main project.
see http://wiki.netbeans.org/MainProjectConceptualChange

I have used Netbeans for Java, which in that case, that meant that the project whose name was in bold wass the default project, that is, the project that gets executed when you press the Run (the Green triangle shaped button). I would assume that the same applies here.

How to customize sikuli x ide?

I want to customize Sikuli x IDE. Like changing the title in title bar. I found the code on gitHub for Sikuli IDE but cant make out which line refers to the title. And how to run that in Eclipse.
I am not sure what specifics you want to change on the IDE, but you mention running it in Eclipse. So if you prefer the Eclipse layout, you can code SikuliX projects from Eclipse directly and skip needing to modify the Sikuli IDE.
Get PyDev from Eclipse Plug-ins/Marketplace
Window->Preferences->PyDev->Interpreter - Jython
Click "New..." button and add your jython.jar and click OK
The System Path window there will be populated and if it does not include sikulixapi.jar, click New Jar/Zips and add that as well.
Apply/OK
Repeat for Python interpreter as well
You will lose the ability to see images in the project.sikuli folder within the IDE (as far as I know) as well as to take snapshots or define regions using the IDE buttons. However, if you were looking to customize your own IDE, those features may be out of scope for your application anyway.

Can't see Java Working Set Folder Eclipse

I have a little problem and I hope someone can help me.
I'm using Eclipse, and i'm trying to add a Java Working Set folder to my Workspace.
The problem is that when I try to do it (right click, new, Java Working Set, and set the name) the first time works fine, but I can't see any change in the workspace (no folder appear), I have tryed to refresh the workspace but it doesn't work (and close and open Eclipse).
When I try to create it again, it says: "a working set with that name already exists", but I can't see it.
Can you help me please?
Working Sets are not folders, they are just a collection of objects.
You may be thinking about how Package Explorer displays projects. You can tell Package Explorer to show Working Sets by selecting 'Top Level Elements > Working Sets' in the view menu (click the small down pointing triangle at the top right of the view).

Mac os X Eclipse Package Explorer view , project folders in smaller size

I recently brought Mac Book Pro and I installed Eclipse Luna. I am facing a problem in viewing the Java projects in "Package Explorer" folders are very small. Is there a way to increase instead of changing the screen resolution?
It should be possible, have a look at this link: http://blog.vogella.com/2013/02/19/css-styling-individual-part-of-the-eclipse-ide/
(Copy of the essential part, in case the above link stops working:
#org-eclipse-jdt-ui-PackageExplorer {
font-size:20;
background:black;
}
)
Remains the question, where to put those lines. Best would be to create your own style, but I never figured out how to do it. So I usually just modify one of the built-in styles. To do this, go to /Applications/eclipse4.4/plugins/org.eclipse.ui.themes_1.0.1.v20140819-1717/css and open the css-file of the style you currently use (probably e4_default_mac.css). Then add the above lines at the end of that css file and restart Eclipse. Note: when updating Eclipse, you might have to repeat those steps.
EDIT: Just realized it was already asked and answered on SO: I cannot change the font size of package explorer in Eclipse Don't look at the accepted answer, but at the next one below.
No, there is no way to change the size of folders or other visual properties of package explorer.
The views, fonts, etc... of general views are set by the system/OS properties. Only the editor view allows customization of sizing, such as, font.

Eclipse IDE lost popup menu suggestions

I've seem to have lost the ability in my Eclipse to auto-correct errors in my source code lines.
For example, a line like this:
Date date = new Date();
has red jagged lines beneath the Date() part. Previously I could mouse hover over it see a popup menu of options to fix it. Now I all I ever get is a popup with the text "Cannot resolve to a type".
The only change I can think of that I've made and I don't know if it has anything to do with this problem, is that I started editing my .java files with an outside editor. Then focusing back into Eclipse I get a popup saying the source has changed and do I want to update so I say OK.
Sometimes I will edit inside Eclipse and sometimes i will edit the source outside of Eclipse. I'm not sure if this is a bad practice or not?
Its your wish to edit Java files outside or inside eclipse. But Java editor has many features which are very helpful to developers. I suggest to edit Java files inside eclipse only.If you find other editors are good or you used to it then no problem you can edit Java files out side eclipse also. The problem you mentioned in not related to it. But make sure that changes are applied before building project in eclipse.
Solution
This occurs whenever there are multiple classes are available with the same name in you build path then eclipse don't know which one to import by default. So keep the caret on the error line and press Ctrl+1. Then a eclipse gives options to user to import one among these. See the picture below. Choose the right one then error will disappear.

Eclipse Project Explorer Icons or Name

In the Eclipse Project Explorer, I wish to add either a special icon or modify the name of a project to display whether a certain project parameter is set for a project. Is this possible, if yes how can I do it? I do not want to change the name of the project because that will mess up other items.
This can only be done by creating an Eclipse plugin. I believe following may fit the bill:
Label decorators (Decorators extension point)
Project natures/nature images (Nature images extension point)
