I installed a fresh eclipse and i have a problem : when i right click somewhere in the project explorer view, the menu is missing some links and some that i dont' want to see are there.
How can i modify that ?
Bonus question : i can't rename files, folders, classes, nothing. The 'rename' link in the toolbar (it doesn't appear in the right click menu !) is disabled.
Thanks
I can only answer your bonus question. Rename in Eclipse is only available in Navigator view. But you can use Refactor->Rename in other views as well. The bahavior is slighly different from normal Rename but most of the time, it is what you wanted.

In one of my projects, I guess I enabled a setting somewhere that I didn't realize how much I use.
Whenever I click into the main editor, it brings the package explorer to the file automatically and scrolls to it. I can't seem to find this setting anywhere in preferences, does anyone know what it is called?
It's called "Link with Editor", the two-way arrow icon you'll find in the toolbars of various Views.
Netbeans is not showing source tab, please help.
I had the same problem and I had to delete the Netbeans Cache and User Directory. Once I did it worked fine.
you will find the cach in the path: C:\Users"user_name"\AppData\Roaming\Netbeans
delete all files in this folder
It may be that for some reason the layout changed. I am not very familiar with NetBeans but I presume that there is an option to reset the layout under
Window -> Reset Windows
Hope this helps!
As of now you are viewing Project view. You have to click on Files then you will be able to see what you want to see. :)
or still not visible follow following steps :
User selects main menu Window.
User clicks menu item Reset Windows and all views are reset to their defaults.
Choose from IDE menu bar, Next to FILE---EDIT--VIEW---and then go to View option-- select show editor option
show "Editor Tool bar"(put tick mark to select)
I recently had to delete all my projects in eclipse and re-import them, and it messed up the view organization I had (I had never realized I could save a view until now). I want to use the Team Synchronizing Perspective in Eclipse, but I want the Project Explorer section to go to the bottom of the screen.
for example, in the Java perspective,
The package explorer goes to the bottom of the screen. but on the Team Sync Perspective, that I want to stay on, I can't get the Project explorer view to go to the bottom of the screen (and I know one is the package and one is the project explorer, I tried adding package explorer to the sync perspective and it also doesn't show up how I want).
Team Sync Perspective:
Does anyone know how to do what I'm asking? I've googled plenty and can't find the answer. I'm assuming it's simple and I just can't find the steps...
See this animated gif to rearrange views in a perspective. Left click on view's title bar and drag and drop the view wherever you need it.
Refer this help guide
Due to some reason I found, when displaying the source ,my navigator changed from the right side (preferred) to the left side , which need more clicks to access the source file. I remembered that I did accept some chance unconsciously which result in this unpleasant change but can not find a way go back...
Thanks for your help!
Your best friend in eclipse is CTRL+3 (quick access), press that and then search for what you want, try perspectives and views, see below.
Perspectives
Check what perspective you are in (now). In the top right of eclipse there is a list of perspectives. Sometimes when you carry out an action it asks you if you want to change perspectives. This can change your views/layouts. You might want the Java or Java EE perspective.
views
There are multiple views of your files. What is the name of the tab where ComputeBench is showing up? Try opening the "Project Explorer" or the "Package Explorer" views.
is there a way to select a folder and somehow expand all the child folders of the selected folder? It would be very useful.
The issue that I imagine is that because in Zend Studio php files are expandable also so they can show their classes namespaces methods and etc if there is a way to expand a folder and all its subfolders it shouldn't expand php files too.
Thanks in advance :)
In the project view, this feature does not exists.
However, you can right click on your top folder then click "search". This will open a search window. Simply press the "search" button without any search field entered and another window will appear with the results. In this window, you have a small "expand all" button in the top corner.
You can also right click on your top folder in that window and the "expand all" option will be displayed there too.
