I've been using Eclipse for C++ and Java for a couple of years.
I have a feeling that I'm not taking full advantage of its capabilities. I see things on the menu like "Refactor" and "Navigate" which I don't have any idea what they are or how could they be used and I really want to use it more efficiently. I need a linear easy-to-understand guide on how to use it in plain english. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Welcoming you to the world of eclipse.
Please take a look at the following similar question which has had some interesting answers.
Eclipse guide for beginners

My recommendation would be to check out the official help system, if you haven't done that already. You'll find the information you're looking for there.
The "Workbench User Guide" in there might interest you the most, as well as "Java development user guide" and "C/C++ Development User Guide". You can also use the systems built-in search capabilities to search for any particular topic that interests you.

Editor for new programming language in Eclipse [closed]

I really hope someone can help me out with this!
For the GOAL Agent Programming language, there is an existing IDE written in JEdit, which is not that good. Thus, we wanted to migrate the editing (at least) to the Eclipse platform.
The GOAL programming language involves several other filetypes on its own, including Prolog files for instance. To this end, a few grammars written in ANTLR exist, which work quite well.
My question now is, using these pre-existing grammars and built lexers/parsers and such, is it possible to easily create an Eclipse editor for this?
I have looked at some existing stuff, like Xtext (would have to write a new grammar, which probably is not even possible for GOAL or Prolog), IMP (abandoned a few years ago already?), etcetera. None of these seem to suffice.
Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Another option is http://www.eclipse.org/dltk/ not sure if you evaluated it already or not.
It doesn't pretend to generate the whole IDE for you :-) However, it abstracts common functionality, so you can focus mostly on your language features.
It is unfortunate that IMP indeed seems abandoned, as it covers exactly your scenario: your language, compiler, etc. is working already and now you need "just" the IDE.
Nevertheless, IMP is still working, and recently, it has been used to implement the IDE for the Frege programming language.

A client has just dropped like 20,000 lines of ObjC (iPhone) source code on me, the previous coder has split, where to start? [closed]

20,000 lines of spaghetti code (iPhone ObjC) was just dropped in my lap. QUESTION: where to begin, is there a tool to just profile it all? It's a mess, not even sure where to start. Suggestions welcome.
What you're looking for is something called Unified Markup Language (UML). This is a critically overlooked part of the development process and is used to layout "class names, methods, links, etc".
Luckily for you, your problem has been faced by many a programmer in the past and there are a few different Magic Bullet solutions available. Since I've never worked backwards from code to UML (normally you build the UML first) I had to do a quick search to find some solutions:
This one looks promising: doxygen
or this one: AutoGraf
And I'm sure with a few minutes on Google you can find everything you need if these don't work out for you; now that you're aware of UML.

I would lile to develop interactions with facebook. I see there are a lot of questions on the subject but I have no idea where to start. Could someone kindly point me to the right direction?
Thanks
I think the question is a reasonable one; much of the documentation is oriented to somebody who is already up to their eyeballs in Facebook integration.
The tutorials are not bad. E.g. if you have an iPad/iPhone and a web server, start with http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/mobile/web/ and go slowly through it. Even there you will find that it isn't newbie-friendly, but if you can successfully get a few examples going it may get your confidence up, and you can try to navigate something more complex.
Lots of great resources here including a getting started section. Good luck!

I am newbie in iPhone development.I want to start a project and want to know coding standards of objective-C like naming, casting etc.Thanks
Start with reading Apple documentation on the iOS Dev Center. It contains a wealth of howtos, tutorials and technical stuff.
If you are starting fresh and want to learn the basics, Ray Wenderlich has some great guides out there, especially for people new to the language. You could try starting with this tutorial he has created. Enjoy the ride :)
Google also has an Objective-C style guide here
Some of its rules might be questionable, but it is nicely succinct and covers most of the key language constructs.

Can I write an operating system using machine language directly?
Please give me a general idea or sources as to how to do it.
First, study the x86 or ARM instruction sets. Then, study up on operating systems. You'll see why it's not a great idea: it's like filling a sandbox one grain at a time with tweezers.
Yes, all you need is a lot of patience, sanity, and a binary editor.
After awhile you will realize why assemblers were created, which is the lowest level I would generally bother going to.
** yes you can but this is very diffecult for any one
and if you do this what make programmers and all design programming lanaguages to make things
easily comparing by machine code
and this is project as you ask
it's an OS written in machine code it's still under developing

note : your name is like my name iam glad to answer you
