I am writing a Java app using Eclipse. This app read a set of Hebrew strings (that are right-to-left). Assuming I put these strings is a separate file, how do I tell the Eclipse editor that they are right-to-left text.
I tried eclipse -dir rtl but that puts all of Eclipse in RTL mode which is not the behavior I looking for.
One alternative is to carefully use StringBuilder.reverse() to manipulate the strings as needed after they are read in.

You could also write some simple string manipulation methods as helpers to handle whatever special needs you have.
This page, found in a quick google search, seems to have some interesting info on how Java handles and renders Hebrew: http://mindprod.com/jgloss/hebrew.html

I am working on an MFC dialog based program with CTabCtrl (VS2017, W10). Everything works as expected, apart from the way tabs look (convoluted story, don't ask).
I need them to look like on the right, but when I created a new project with a CDialogEx based class and added tabs to the dialog (just the standard VS/MFC stuff, nothing fancy yet) they looked like the ones on the left. What I found after some testing and comparing with older projects is that if I switch in project defaults Character Set from Unicode to Multi-Byte Character Set I get the look I want (yes, sounds completely unrelated, but checked and rechecked several times). But that's ridiculously inconvenient, program needs to work with different languages and uses Unicode libraries for managing the data.
No idea if the problem is really MFC related, could be some deeper Windows thing.
Any idea what can be done to get the right look (pun intended), other than implementing my own OwnerDraw() or adding an additional layer of code to translate between data in Unicode and MBCS? Both approaches sound pretty off.
I'm trying to develop a small plugin that will do a sort-of auto-completion along with some other advanced features in order to create a primitive IDE to use with a custom scripting language we've developed.
So I want to know, how do the auto-complete plugins usually work? I have a basic plugin template that I'm playing around with (the C# one) and I see how the commands work, from a high level anyway, but I'm trying to figure out how I would create my auto-complete feature.
My first guess would be to make a command that spawned a new thread that retrieved the entire contents of the notepad++ text every 100 mills or so and then popped-up a little selector box or directly wrote the auto-complete possibilities when the correct pattern was matched on the newly typed text.
Any wisdom from those who have gone before me on this?
Thanks alot.
Well I figured it out. Apparently there is a "beNotified" method in my project template that I downloaded and it handles all events/notifications from the Scintilla/Notepad++ environment. I will probably be using the SCN_CHARADDED event to check the current line of text each time a character is added to the GUI.
I've seen similar questions to this on StackOverflow regarding adding highlighting to a language, but what I'm concerned with is getting Eclipse (I'm guessing xtext?) to stop marking certain syntax as incorrect for a language.
Specifically, I have a wrapper from which I call PIG files that looks for certain syntax in the PIG file that would normally be illegal in PIG and substitutes a template for it. I'd like Eclipse to stop marking this syntax as incorrect and giving me ugly red x's in my folder structure because of it. Is there a simple way to do this? Or failing that, to at least disable marking of incorrect for that language in general?
Generally, error markers are created by two entities: editors and builders (compilers). If your existing editor understands the PIG format, it might display parse errors in the opened editor as you are typing. The only way to disable this feature is to re-open the file using a different editor (right-click the file, select Open with... and find an editor - e.g. plain text editor). To support syntax highlighting/error display in other parts, but not in special parts, you have to provide your own editor - that can be written using Xtext.
If the error markers are provided using a builder, then they are only refreshed on save - when it tries to understand the format, and provide an output. In this case, you only have to make sure that the templates are substituted before the file is executed (you can reorder the builder in the project preferences if needed). If you have no such builder, you could disable the PIG builder, that would prevent displaying the erroneous markers (however, it also disables displaying the correct ones as well).
I have a file with extension .xml.
But it doesn't necessarily contain XML. It may also contain HTML and JavaScript. Now I would like to either have Eclipse decide inteligently/heuristically which syntax highlighting would be appropriate or to switch it myself.
Any ideas?
Eclipse associates files with an editor. You can let eclipse decide which editor to use (e.g. defaults per file extension) or select the editor by yourself. I guess you might already know that or have at least experienced it.
Syntax highlighting isn't always set seperately but instead part of some editor (together with stuff like keyboard shortcuts). So what you are going to need is an editor that behaves the way you want it to. I do not know if there is an editor like this available but one options is writing an eclipse plug-in and implementing such an editor.
Fortunately there are great editors for each of XML, javascript, HTML, etc that are all open source. I guess you might be able to use some of their code. Ideally as a client of their API / Objects or if it won't work out just by reusing code.
short answer: not possible. use PHPStorm instead :)
There's already a question on this here. But i want to know if its possible to add autocomplete text support in a .txt file for english words (maybe from GNU Aspell dictionary)?
Something I've pondered myself, you could copy loads of "words" into the keyword list within the user-defined language dialogue. Not the best way!
If you have a look at the XML file in (vista);
C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\userDefineLang.xml
Then you can see keywords are kept in one line. I bet, if you made have the entire english dictionary then it would likely crash notepad++.
You could put your idea into the Notepad++ IdeaTorrent for the developers too consider;

UPDATE 06/11/2011 :
May I also add that a plugin now available for highlight misspelt words and auto correction.
