When I use Eclipse Remote System Explorer or Aptana plugin to upload files, the files are placed in a sub-directory of my intended upload folder. The sub-directory is named according to my project name. How do I upload to the folder I intend to upload to without the files going into a sub-directory? Thanks for your wisdom!
I could not speak of RSE, but in Aptana Studio everything depends on how did you setup a connection between FTP and local project. Basically, if your ftp://xyz/myproject is connected to myproject in workspace, all files will go where intended to without sub-folders.
See http://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/tis/FTP%2C+SFTP%2C+and+FTPS+Deployment for more information.

I have a need to share an eclipse workspace as a zip file. However, when I zip the workspace and then unzip it all of the user configuration is lost including the project that was opened in the workspace, what views are showing, and even a JBoss server that was created.
If I copy and paste the workspace everything works fine.
If I zip and unzip all of the configuration is lost (i.e. when I launch Eclipse and use the unzipped workspace Eclipse opens with all of the default settings including the welcome page).
What could be causing this and how do I get the zip to work?
I know there are other ways to export Eclipse configurations but I do have a specific requirement that this be provided as a zip file.
It looks like the problem was with the file names that started with ".". I re-zipped with WinZip instead of the built-in windows tool and everything is working now. See: blog.robertelder.org/zipping-corrupts-eclipse-workspace
I've just downloaded netBeans 7.2 and an ftp plugin. I would like to be able to make a folder (html, css, javascript, php) on my computer (which I made in eclipse) a NetBeans 'project' (at least that's what I think I want to do). Then, on save, upload to the remote directory online. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!

Go to Run - Set Project Configuration - Customize
Click Manage next to Remote Connection..
I guess you can figure out the rest..
I'm using Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers and want something like that:
Eclipse should add current project (or open projects) to archive and copy the archive to specified folder on its (Eclipse) exit.
Is it possible with Eclipse built-in functionality - scripting, or plugin?
I don't want to use bat-files, Script Host or other external tools.
The global idea is to realize on-exit backup of my project between home and workplace using Dropbox, e.g. automated sending project backup to dropbox folder.
But current task is to realize local backup.
Why not keep your Project folder in Dropbox itself?
I am behind an intranet that does not have access to the download sites. Assuming I have access to all of the correct zip and jar files. What are the step by step instructions to get Eclipse to the point where I can go to Windows -> Preferences and see the Google entry?
1) I don't have access to the http://code.google.com/eclipse/docs/getting_started.html site because I am on a closed network.
2) I tried using the dropins folder and when I re-open Eclipse and go to Windows->Preferences "Google" isn't listed.
Any ideas?
The official zip-file installation instructions are at http://code.google.com/eclipse/docs/install-from-zip.html
This uses the Eclipse dropins mechanism, which helps Eclipse to pick up the new plugins in a clean way, quote:
... the dropins folder can be used much like the plugins directory was used in the past. A subtle twist on old behavior here is that plug-ins and features added to the dropins folder are properly installed into the system rather than being forced in.
Note:
Make sure, that you extract the zip file into the correct destination. It can easily happen, that it gets extracted e.g. into some subdirectory - so please check twice. You should have the following structure:
eclipse (this is your Eclipse installation folder)
dropins
eclipse (this is the directory created by extracting the zip file)
features
com.google.*
plugins
com.google.*
features
(your already installed features)
plugins
(your already installed plugins)
...
Then (re-)start Eclipse.
Just install the plugin from here and you are set to go.
http://code.google.com/eclipse/docs/getting_started.html
If you get a correct zip file for plugin, you will see "plugins" and "features" as soon as you open the zip file.
If your eclipse is in a location "c:\eclipse", extract the zip file into "c:\eclipse". The files will go into the corresponding folders.
Drop them in the plugins folder
I've just installed a new Linux distro on my box and want to move my Eclipse home from the old /home/username/ to my new one. Because I changed the desktop, I don't want to copy all hidden folders from ~/. So which directories do I need copy in order to have all my installed plugins?
I've already copied ~/.eclipse/ and it definitely contains files related to the plugins but Eclipse won't load them. Any hints?
We've eventually found the directory containing all that stuff by accident. Somehow we broke it and Eclipse refused to start on my coworker's computer:-)
See ~/workspace/.metadata/.plugins or wherever your workspace resides.
As far as I know, Eclipse stores its plugins in its installation directory (eclipse). They might reside in eclipse/plugins or eclipse/dropins. You can copy the whole eclipse directory from your old box.
