How to change Eclipse project defaults?
I'm interested in CDT (C++ plugin) in particular, but I suppose that it isn't that differs from JDT. I want to get some custom compiler keys and Build options (like “Build on resource save” in C/C++ Build — Behaviour in C++ project properties) for each new project.
I'm not sure 100 percent to understand what you want.
If you want to automatically build the projects after the saving the source code file of c/c++ project in CDT. You can check the option in below screen shot,

Members of my team will be working on a number of plain-text files. Rather than using a normal text editor, I would like them to utilize eclipse, so we can take advantage of the plug-ins that will make life easier... such as the svn plugin.
Therefore, I would like to provide them with an installation of Eclipse where they will set up generic projects, rather than Java projects.
However, the basic Eclipse download from the website includes all the java functionality. This means that their GUI is littered with java-related functions that are not required, and I don't really want them using.
I have attempted to remove the JDT plugins / features from the installation, but at this point the generic project functions disappear too!
How can one go about removing java functionality whilst retaining generic project functionality?
The 'Eclipse Platform' contains the minimal Eclipse without the JDT or PDE Tools.
Go to http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/ and choose either Eclipse Kepler 4.3.2 or the release candidate of Eclipse Luna 4.4.RC3 (RC4 later today). Choose the appropriate download from the 'Platform Runtime Binary' section.
Update:
You need to open the Resource perspective to create projects and edit files - use Window > Open Perspective > Other... > Resource. The resource perspective should already be open if you start with a new workspace.
I have an Eclipse e4 RCP project using the compatibility layer.
The targets include org.eclipse.e4.* plug-ins and their source code. For example:
$ ls org.eclipse.e4.core.di*
org.eclipse.e4.core.di.extensions.source_0.12.0.v20140417-2033.jar
org.eclipse.e4.core.di.extensions_0.12.0.v20140417-2033.jar
org.eclipse.e4.core.di.source_1.4.0.v20140414-1837.jar
org.eclipse.e4.core.di_1.4.0.v20140414-1837.jar
The launcher configurations include the plug-ins without source code.
Source code for classes within those plug-ins is not being found with Navigate>Open Type or when debugging. In the debugger, I'm given a button Edit Source Lookup Path -- but I'd like the source path to automatically update when I switch targets.
I can make that happen by adding these plug-ins to the manifest of one of my plug-ins. However, these are not direct dependencies, and it seems inelegant to list these here.
Adding the plug-ins to the product configuration file does not appear to help.
How can I automatically access the current target's source code within the org.eclipse.e4 packages, when debugging, and when using Navigate>Open Type?
You include the target platform plugins in the Java searches (including Navigate > Open Type) by checking the
Include all plug-ins from target in Java search
check box on the Preferences > Plug-in Development preference page.
The first time after this that you use Navigate > Open Type or another search it may be a bit slow while the Java indexer runs on the extra source files. It should run normally once the indexes are built.
Hi I'm fairly new with Eclipse. I'm trying to work on my cocos2d-x project on Eclipse, but for some reason I couldn't convert the android project to a c/c++ project and so I couldn't open the c++ files inside the Classes folders as you can see on the image here.
cocos2d-x: cocos2d-x v3.0 alpha0
eclipse: (ADT)Android Developer Tools - Build: v22.2.1-833290
os: windows 7
What I did:
ran create-multi-platform-projects.py in cmd
opened eclipse(ADT) then File->New->Other->Android Project from Existing Code->browsed to {cocos2d-x v3}/projects/mygame/proj.android
built the project.
tried to convert the project. Right-clicked project->New->Other->Under C/C++ tree, select Convert to a C/C++ project (Adds C/C++ nature)
but then the candidates for conversion is empty, meaning I couldn't convert my project to c++. I have installed the C++ plugins as seen here. Obviously I'm missing something here but I can't figure out what. I've been following tutorials on setting up cocos2d-x android development on eclipse windows os but I'm stuck with the converting to c++ step. Please could someone point out what I'm missing. Thanks in advance.
It will already be having c++ nature, so it wont show you that option (You can verify this by checking if you have C/C++ build in your project properties)...
You can open the cpp files by adding a reference to the source folder, to do so follow the below steps:
Right Click your project and select properties
Goto Resource->Linked Resources
In Path Variables Tab, Click New...
Give some name and choose the folder where you have your source code
It will now show a link to the source code folder in the project
Here are one by one steps, You may setup easily!
I just install CDT plugin in Eclipse. When i start a project by click New menu in Eclipse, it shows lots of C/C++ project type:
such as: Executable/Excetuable(XL UPC)/Shared Library/Shared Library(XL UPC)....
What's different between them?
These are essentially "presets" - they have slightly different default build settings. E.g. shared library will pass the linker settings to emit .so instead of executable, XL UPC projects use compiler different then GCC by default, etc.
These settings can be changed after the project is created - but it may require a good understanding of CDT.
After every save I need to right-click on the project in the project browser and click on build.
Is there a way to configure NetBeans to auto-build the project when I save a file?
See Compile on Save FAQ: http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqCompileOnSave
I don't use CoS myself, I highly recommend Jenkins for your auto-build needs (and so much more): http://jenkins-ci.org/
The compile on save option is not available for free-form projects as of NetBeans version 8.0. And I don't think it will be made available in future too. The very idea of free-form is that that IDE does not know anything about your project and completely relies on the ant-scripts and the mappings you provide.
If you don't want to build an entire project every time you make changes to a file, create a target in ant to compile a single file and map it to the IDE command compile.single. You could add a context menu for that if required, although the existing keyboard shortcut F9 should suffice.
You can read more on the advance free-form configuration here - Advanced Free-Form Project Configuration
