I'm banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out.
I'm using NetBeans 6.9.1 and I have a project of type "Java Application." This project contains no Main method, but instead a Japplet named AlarmClock.java. When I right-click and run AlarmClock.java, it runs correctly with no problems. What I can't figure out is how to get this applet to run on a website (or even locally on my computer for that matter). I've tried building it and opening up ProjectDirectory/dist/launch.html which starts up launch.JNLP which opens up a webpage with a space for my applet, but this space just contains an error message.
I'm not sure if it's something wrong with my project settings, and I don't know what a "codebase" is or whether "Web Start" should be on. Do I need a main method that opens up my applet, and how would I do that? Some advice would be hugely appreciated.
That is a typical situation where a full IDE is too much. To understand the background is better to take a simple text editor and let you guide by a Java Applet Tutorial.
Once you feel good with applets make the same exercise with your preferred IDE. If not you have to learn Applets + "How my IDE handles Applets" at the same time.

I am programming a JavaFX app for windows and want to see an app icon in these situations
shortcut icon (on desktop, windows start menu)
taskbar icon (even when the app is pinned to the task-bar)
(optional) the .exe-icon
The following code seems to do its job quite nice, but when the app is running and I press right to the taskbar to choose "pin this program" the default coffee cup is shown again. The cup is shown in the moment when the taskbar-item is right-clicked -.-
visibleStage.getIcons().add(new Image(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("JavaFXApp.png")));
I tried to build the app by configuring the Artifact in IntelliJ (JavaFX-plugin) and I also deployed the app with the javafx-maven-plugin...
I also followed some instructions I found in the net and here on stackoverflow, but nothing really helps (see here to get an idea, what I tried).
Building the app by Ant doensnt work right now, IntelliJ gives a lot of errors using this build tool.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
It's getting silly.. After zooming in the output folder the correct .ico of the .exe will be shown. Inconstancy at it's best.
Here the half-working config:
Well, to add an icon to the app, you just need as you said to .add() an icon as:
primaryStage.getIcons().add(new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("icon.png")));
For your installer, and all, I can't really help, but the way I do it works, I'm using innosetup to generate my exe packages, and it's really easy to set it an icon. You can find informations about it on that site I learned about inno setup:
http://code.makery.ch/library/javafx-8-tutorial/part7/
The whole page is about deployment using ant and inno setup to build the exe
I'm using Eclipse (Kepler) for a GWT application and for some reason, superDevMode keeps appearing in my arguments. We are stuck with GWT 2.4 which does not know what superDevMode is. I remove the argument, hit Apply and Debug to start the app, but when I look at the arguments again, -superDevMode is in there again. I am assuming there is some property that belongs to 2.6 (the version that was installed with the Eclipse plugin), but I can't seem to find it.
Update: Below, Adam recommended that I go to the GWT tab and take it out of superdevmode. Here is a screenshot of that tab:
There isn't a way to do that. The large area at the top of the tab (above the Super Dev Mode group) suggested that something was supposed to be there, so I set the project's GWT to 2.6. Sure enough, there was a Super/Classic dev mode selection. I set it to classic, saved the settings, and then put the project back to 2.4. The GWT tab looked exactly as it does above and the arguments now has "-nosuperDevMode" in it, which is also not recognized by 2.4.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
CC
I found a temporary workaround that comes with a caveat: I made the Eclipse Run Configuration file read-only.
Example path:
<YOUR_WORKSPACE>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches\<YOUR_RUN_CONFIG_NAME>.launch
Then whenever you bring up the Dev Mode Run Configuration in Eclipse it still shows the -superDevMode flag, but when you click the Close button it now asks you if you want to save and you can press No.
The big caveat: if you actually do want to change the Run Configuration Eclipse will ask if you want to save, you press Yes, the dialog closes, but it didn't actually save.
Easiest fix is to shutdown Eclipse, manually edit the .launch file to remove -superDevMode, make the file read-only, then start Eclipse again.
Here's the bug report.
Go to GWT tab (3rd from left) and switch from Super Development Mode to Classic Development Mode
I develop a Vaadin Application with Eclipse and two things are driving me crazy:
whenever I hit CTRL+F11 (run), Eclipse opens a new Browser tab, even if I already have one (or 50) of that Application open
if I don't have the project selected in the project explorer but some class instead, Eclipse opens "http://localhost:8080/WEB-INF/classes/org/somepackage/MyClass.java" instead, which does not run the Application but gives me an error
Those two things don't make it impossible for me but because they occur so frequently they are a big annoyance for my work so I would be really glad if someone could tell me how to fix this.
Being new to NetBeans 7 (this is running on Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate Edition) I found it extremely interesting that I can't get any POC (proof of concept applications) to be "viewable." Allow me to explain.
Going through the tutorials - about as simple as anything can ever be in software dev:
1) I create may NetBeans Development application ... but using a product location other than the default. NetBeans wants to use C:\Users{user_name}\Documents\NetBeanProjects as the root path to your projects, then create project folders underneath. Reasonable, but I have dedicated "development drives" where all my development happens, which is not where NetBeans wants to put it.
2) Create a Module for the application. Here I created an Installer and placed a System.out.println() in an overriden restored() method .... you never see this in the Output windows of the IDE. I also added a new Window with a button and textArea, and set the new Window's properties to be shown on application startup and in the Editor location .... you never see these either.
Long story short, I uninstalled NetBeans v7.0 from the computer, and reinstalled it again, but this time allowing the IDE to use the location it wants for project folders. Though, I still do not get the System.out.println() text in the Output window, I do get my new Windows with the button and TextArea.
I've added this post because I did a bunch of seaches trying to find an answer to all this to no avail. I certainly don't have the real answer, but if someone else is strugling with the same problem you'll at least have a "partial answer" if you've changed default project locations and your applications "don't seem to run or be visible."
If anyone knows the real answer to these questions PLEASE advise.
EDIT #1 ... thinking this might be a security or privilege issue I tried running the IDE "as Administrator" and this didn't make any difference. I do not see any prompts or anything in the OS' logs that indicate a problem either, so I'm assuming it's NetBeans.
EDIT #2 ... Found it. Finally discovered where all my System.out.println()'s are ending up. Not in the IDE's Output Window as I would have expected (pretty sure I'm not the only one) but in a "message.log" text file located at
C:\Users\{User_Name}\Documents\NetBeansProjects\{Project_Name}\build\testuserdir\var\log
That was fun - Not! I am assuming that this probably means the System.out is currently set to do this in a property somewhere. But at least I know it's not disappearing off into space somewhere now.
re. the System.out "Not in the IDE's Output Window", have you tried to instantiate a logger instead?
Directly after the class declaration, paste in the following field definition:
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("thePackageName.andYourClassNameHere");
import the import java.util.logging.Logger; library.
then simply log what ever you want to trace on the output console.
ie: logger.info(" ... " + ....);
I am SOOOOO discouraged. This seems so simple, but being a complete novice in Drupal and Eclipse PDT I have absolutely no idea where to look. My DAYS of searching seems to indicate that I am the only person on the planet with this problem.
Eclipse IDE for PHP Developers (1.2.1.20090918-0703)
WampServer Version 2.0
Apache 2.2.11
PHP 5.2.9-2
MySQL 5.1.33
Drupal 6.15
xDebug php_xdebug-2.0.5-5.2.dll
I setup my project in Eclipse to point to my Drupal directory (C:\wamp\www\drupal-6.15). I start the debugger (xdebug) and I stop at the first line of code. I can step through the code line by line -- so I think I am in the debugger, and when I terminate the app, I see the xdebug termination message in the tab heading.
But I cannot set a breakpoint in any of the PHP code files -- specifically a new .module file.
When I right click in the breakpoint column on the left in index.php (main) I see "toggle breakpoint" and the little blue circle next to the line of code...so I think I know how to set a breakpoint. But when I try to set a breakpoint in my .module, I see a menu that asks me to "add a bookmark" and no option to set a breakpoint.
Why can I not set a breakpoint in this file? Is my project path not set up correctly? Do I need to amend my include path? I can't get Eclipse to recognize even core modules not just site/all modules. I've seen posts about "importing" files into the project, and making sure the correct php.ini file is used for configuring xdebug. I'm lost.
There are so many posts about using Eclipst PDT and xDebug and they all end with "have fun debugging" or "just set some breakpoints and off you go" -- but what if you CAN'T set a breakpoint? Any ideas about where Eclipse is lost? Where in Eclipse can you get a list of files it has included in its build?
I think I just need to know understand why Eclipse cannot find these modules within the project (i.e. drupal application) path to allow me to set breakpoints. Then I think I can carry on. So discouraging...
Thanks to anyone listening.
Thanks for the tip. I think I had seen your similar response in another post somewhere.
Actually, the solution for me was to make sure to include all of the standard Drupal file extensions in the Eclipse file associations preferences: Preferences->General->Content Types->Text->PHP Content Type. The defaults are various *.php, *.phpX, *.phtml extensions, but not the extensions used in Drupal modules -- *.info, *.inc, *.module, *.install, etc.
Simple and obvious once you figure it out. I'm surprised with all the Eclipse-xDebug-Drupal setup instructions out there that this had not shown up. Lots of details about matching project paths with server paths, but nothing about this.
I hope my struggle helps someone. I did learn a lot about Eclipse PDT along the way :-). Good luck.
Breakpoints are tricky in PDT projects:
for php files, you need to be careful
One thing that gets me a lot is that there a lot of "invalid" places where you set breakpoints. You can put the dot there in the IDE, but the debugger won't stop at it:
blank/non-code lines
on switch statements
in some types of callbacks (for example, preg_replace)
But for breakpoints in .module files, this should be related to a setup issue.
I made the following changes to my setup:
Upgraded from php 5.2.1 to php 5.2.3
Installed the Zend debugger client in Eclipse/PDT (theoretically not necessary from what I understand, but I decided to give it a try)
Made sure that the Drupal files were fully imported into my project, not just referenced as include libraries.
I did that last step after I created a tiny test case and discovered that I could get the debugger to stop on a breakpoint in an externally included file only if that file was imported into the project, not if it was referenced as part of an include library directory.
To my mind this seems like a bug - the debugger could certainly see that the files in the include library directories were source files and it let me set breakpoints in them, so it seems that it should stop on them.
(For comparison from a separate (java) IDE, IntelliJ will let you define breakpoints in jar files as long as you tell it where the source is. Once you've defined it, it will stop on it.)
I think it was principally that last step that did the trick, so I'd suggest that anyone else with a similar problem make sure that isn't an issue in their setup first, and then try the other steps.
check whether you opened your java file in java editor mode.
ie ctrl+shift+R, in this popup check the button beside OPEN option and select java editor.
The problem of not being able to set a breakpoint can occur if you have recently created a file. You must close and re-open the file for it to be recognised as a source file that can be debugged, and to enable the code highlighting.
