I am getting following error on
Cannot create the in-place editor
This is probably because there is no
OLE editor registered against the type
of file you were trying to open.
Failed to create Ole Client. result =

I have MS office 2007,and the excel file is stored as "save as 2003 version".
I'm using 3.5 so things could be different. Window->Preferences->General->Editors->File Associations.
Add *.xls and add Associated Editor (from this window you can select external programs to open with)
I think you should be able to open the excel file inside and eclipse editor, but it looks like the OLE is not working on your system for some reason.
first check the system editor available or not.
if available right click on xls file and click on open with system editor.
if not available follow bellow steps.
eclipse-->help-->Install new software-->search for editor and download and restart the eclipse. After restart the eclipse right click on xls file and click on open with system editor.

I am getting the following error when clicking on a .xlsm file in TFS Explorer in Eclipse:
org.eclipse.ui.PartInitException: Unable to open external editor Excel
How can I resolve this error?
On Windows:
Navigate to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> File Associations.
If *.xlsm isn't in the list of File types, then click Add... and add it first.
Once this is done, select *.xlsm in the top box. I found that "Excel (default)" was the Associated Editor, which was the one that was failing. To get the Excel document to open in Excel instead, I first Removed the broken default editor, and then clicked Add...and selected Microsoft Excel Macro-Enabled Worksheet from the list.
Note that the list provided depends on the settings on your machine; and it's the file associations list rather than a list of programs. You can also click the "Browse..." button to select a specific program on your machine.
I want to be Visual Studio Code my default editor for all text-based file types in Windows. For Notepad++ there is an extension in the Windows Explorer to provide "Edit in Notepad++" for each file.
How can I achieve this for "Edit with Visual Studio Code"?
Do I have to "program" such extension on my own or are there any ready-to-use solutions available?
According to this blog post you can set this option during the installation process. If you want to add this option afterwards you either can follow the instructions of the rest of the post or (as recommended) reinstall vscode and then select that option during reinstalling.
When I faced the same issue, for me it was more comfortable to simply reinstall vscode.
It is east !
step 1 -->
Right click the file you want to always open with VS code
example - if you want to always open .txt files in VS code then Right click on any .txt file that is in you system
see this
step 2 -->
click on 'open with'
see this
step 3 -->
click on 'choose another app'
see this
step 4 -->
a new window will open, it will show all the applications on you system that are capable to open that file
click on VS code
and check the box at the bottom that says 'always use this app to open .txt files'
see this
and then click on open
THATS IT
NOW ON .txt FILES WILL BE OPENED IN VS CODE
.txt file extension is just an example, you can do this to any file example .py, .html, .pdf etc.
I like using Eclipse to open up certain text-based files that are huge - 140MB - because unlike notepad++, Eclipse can open larger files.
With notepad++, I could drag-drop a file into an open instance and it'd open it. With Eclipse, whether I do File>Open file or drag-drop, it still pops-open the Windows 10 Please select an application to open the file-type
QUESTION
How can I force Eclipse to open them even if they are registered to be opened by another application?
You can select the editor to open files in with a right click.
Text Editor is eclipse, System Editor is whatever your OS chooses.
I believe default editor is what eclipse chooses based on the extension (Text editor vs. System Editor)
Is there a way to use netbeans as a simple text editor, without setting up a project?
I am interested in using netbeans features as a text editor, especially for making quick changes on remote servers.
Yes, of course you can use it as a text editor. Just Open Netbeans and select File > Open File and select the file to open from the file chooser dialog. Make changes and click Save.
If you want to edit files on network locations, again do File > Open File and paste the location of your remote file.
In Visual Studio, or MyEclipse, you have a button which is able to locate a source file on disk, and open the containing directory in Windows explorer.
This is useful, for example, to browse images, or to use an other tool when a conflict occurs in CVS or SVN.
What would be the way to do it in Eclipse with a free plugin, or without any plugin ?
I found it :
"In eclipse, it is common requirement to open the folder containing source file but there is no direct method to do that like in Visual studio of Microsoft."

An actual plugin can be found at http://blog.samsonis.me/2009/02/open-explorer-plugin-for-eclipse/
And version 1.5 can be found here http://blog.samsonis.me/2011/08/openexplorer-eclipse-plugin-1-5-0/
One that I've since upgraded to & find more useful

I always do this:
right click on file/folder, show in..., system explorer. Done.
I guess we don't need a plugin to do that, or I am misunderstanding the question?? I am using Luna 4.4.2 on Windows 7.
On Mac you can follow this steps to add it without a plug-in:
Click the disclosure icon to the right of the External Tools icon:
Select External Tools Configuration:
The External Tools Configuration window will appear. Select Programs and then click New Launch Configuration:
This will create a new launch configuration. Enter a name of the configuration in the name field:
In the Location field enter the path to the Open Finder, "/usr/bin/open" without quotes:
In the Arguments field enter the following argument, "${container_loc}" with quotes:
Click Apply. It should look like the following:
Switch to the build tab and deselect Build before launch:
Switch to the Common tab and select the External Tools checkbox in Favorites. Click Apply again and close out of the window.
You are done. Now to use:
Select a file or folder in Eclipse Package Explorer.
Click the disclosure icon to the right of the External Tools icon:
Select the Open Containing Folder from the drop down menu:
You're file or folder should open in Finder.
PRO TIP: After you use the external tool once you can click the External Tools icon again and it will run the last used external tool. In other words, you won't need to select it from the pop up menu each time.
You can also look up the source directory by right clicking on the project, going to properties, and looking at "Location: ... "
