I tried to follow this tutorial but couldn't find File entry in properties windows. When I tried to add filePath attribute manually (taken from same tutorial) i get following error "Parser Error Message: Unrecognized attribute 'filePath'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive."

To find the File entry, you need to bring up the properties window (if it's not open) by hitting F4. Then click on the file configuration source element in the Enterprise Library configuration tool. This will display the Name and File properties that can be set.
Update
Thanks for the screen shot. To get the File Configuration Source, right click on Configuration Sources and then select New->File Configuration Source. Then you will be able to set the File property in that new element.

We are creating a new file from template as specified in the Office Uri Schemes documentation.
As per the documentation we can give an optional parameter with |s to specify the default path offered as a save location when the file is first saved. The only restriction is that if the optional default save location is supplied, it must be pointing to the same host name as the template.
We are using Office 365 group drive to save the template and the default save location(for newly generated file) is also in the same group drive. But it is not picking the default save location as specified.
Following is the URI that we are testing.
ms-word:nft|u|https://figg.sharepoint.com/sites/1dev/Shared%20Documents/Config/Files/Minutes.dotx|s|https://figg.sharepoint.com/sites/1dev/Shared%20Documents/Dest
The above url when opened generate a new file from template but it did not give the default save location specified in the command when we try to save the file.
Any help if how to fix this would be very helpful.
Are you sure about your save URL ? It looks truncated as Dest...
If it's correct, make sure that it ends with a forward slash, like this:
ms-word:nft|u|https://figg.sharepoint.com/sites/1dev/Shared%20Documents/Config/Files/Minutes.dotx|s|https://figg.sharepoint.com/sites/1dev/Shared%20Documents/Dest/
You also must make sure you have the correct permissions to write back to that particular document library

I'm trying to create my own language definition, and use it for highlighting the syntax in my app.
The issue I have is that, when trying to access the language definition from my app's data folder (/usr/share/myapp/), even using the c.lang file copied from /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/, just to test, I get this error at runtime:
GtkSourceView-WARNING **: Failed to load '/usr/share/myapp/c.lang': could not find the RelaxNG schema file
So it's asking for some schema file? So I went forward and copied every file from the language-specs folder that isn't a lang file, which includes: language.dtd, language.rng and language2.rng.
Now, when I run again, I get these errors:
GtkSourceView-WARNING **: in file /usr/share/com.github.aleksandar-stefanovic.urmsimulator/c.lang: style 'def:comment' not defined
GtkSourceView-WARNING **: Failed to load '/usr/share/com.github.aleksandar-stefanovic.urmsimulator/c.lang': unable to resolve language 'def'
What does that even mean? Is that something namespace-related? It is very peculiar, because the exact same file is working perfectly when in gtksourceview folder.
Any clues? Do these "RelaxNG" files work only in their original directories? If so, how can I change that? I've looked into the files, but failed to find any reference to their original folder...
This is the source-code (in Vala) related to the issue:
var manager = Gtk.SourceLanguageManager.get_default ();
string search_paths[] = {"/usr/share/myapp", null};
manager.set_search_path (search_paths);
var buffer = new Gtk.SourceBuffer.with_language (manager.get_language ("c"));
The application does in fact find the language "c", I've checked by debugging.
You have to preserve the Gtk.SourceLanguageManager's original search path when you add your own. Append to it instead of replacing it.
I have an Eclipse product which uses my own plugins. I want to read some properties based on user inputs. I want to persist these properties on some user action, and read those properties back when required. Can this be achieved using some Eclipse API?
A more elaborate description of the above problem:
Say I have a property abc=xyz in a config file myconfig.ini. This property is read by the perspective during the bootstrapping process. During use of the perspective, some action sets this property to a new value xyz=def. Now, I should be able to save the new value in myconfig.ini. So next time the bootstrapping happens, the value of xyz is read as def instead of abc. However, I can also choose to manually set it to abc by editing the myconfig.ini file.
How would I manage myconfig.ini? Where should it exist within my eclipse product project?
What is the best API to manage reading, writing and updating properties in myconfig.ini?
You can use resource markers mechanism:
IMarker marker = file.createMarker(IMarker.MARKER);
marker.setAttribute(IMarker.MESSAGE, "blabla");
marker.setAttribute("attr", 5);
You can search for markers by using the findMarkers methods on IResource.
See FAQ also
You should consider using the apache configurations API http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-configuration/
It can read and write INI files and if you want to change the configuration file type or add more configuration options you can simply configure it.
I would add a hidden directory to the workspace root e.g. ${WORKSPACE}/.productName/product.ini
and add an ISaveParticipant that ensures the ini file gets updated on shutdown.
You can get the Workspace using the ResourcesPlugin
IWorkspace workspace = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();
and resolve it to an absolute path
IWorkspaceRoot wsRoot = workspace.getRoot();
IPath wsPath = wsRoot.getRawLocation();
IPath absoluteWsPath = wsPath.makeAbsolute();
I'm setting up a series of preferences in my Eclipse (3.5.2) application and I'm having a problem with the FileFieldEditor. I want to allow the user to specify a log file to print output to. Often, this will be a new file. But when I use the file select dialog with FileFieldEditor, it complains that the file doesn't exists ("Value must be an existing file"). Is there a way, without extending the FileFieldEditor class, to suppress this error and have Java create that file if it doesn't exist? Thanks!
When I look the source code of org.eclipse.jface.preference.FileFieldEditor, the only solution would be to extend it and write your own version of a FileFieldEditor, with:
an overwritten changePressed() method in order to keep the file path even if the file does not exists
an overwritten checkState() method in order to avoid that error message.
So I do not see a way to avoid that FileFieldEditor extension here.
I've built an eclipse-based product, and I want to set the default workspace used by the Product. Currently, when the "Workspace Launcher" pops up for the first time, the default workspace location is just in the same directory as the Eclipse Product executable. I'd like to change to something like USER_HOME/myworkspace.
I can't seem to find a setting for this, but I'm guessing / hoping its a setting in my product_configuration.ini.
Cheers!
here is a more easy way
Once you have Eclipse up and running you can open Window-->Preferences-->Editors-->Startup and Shutdown. Click the first box that says Prompt for workspace on startup.
Or In your config.ini file ull've this line (or look in configuration.settings\org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs)
//The default workspace location
Osgi.instance.area.default=#user.home/workspace
try changing this
Here is what needs to be done.
Wherever eclipse is installed go to the "configuration" directory and open the config.ini file in there.
Windows paths normally look like this:
C:\Users\Wilbert\Documents\Installers\Eclipse\eclipse
You will probably find something like this in the config.ini file:
osgi.instance.area.default=#user.home/workingspace
You need to change that to[Getting rid of the "#" and using forward slashes instead of back slash]:
osgi.instance.area.default=C:/Users/Wilbert/Documents/Programs/CS111B(Java)/Practice Programs/Projects
I just did it and it worked.
In your product (.product), go to the "Configuration" tab. Under the "Properties" section, add the property 'osgi.instance.area.default' with a value of '#user.home/myworkspace'. When you export your product, this property will be automatically added to your product's configuration file (just as ayush and Wilbert Sequeira were manually doing).
Note that only an exported product will use that configuration. When running your product in the Eclipse IDE, the workspace location will be overridden by your IDE's configurations.
The now-defunct Symbian WRT product did this. Looking through the sources, it seems to be done by a p2.inf file in the product package. See the screenshot below:
The first yellow arrow is for Windows and the second for Mac and Linux
In your .product file you can specify this as part of the programArgs element.
<programArgs>-data #user.home/MyWorkspace</programArgs>
Note that you can customize config.ini for individual platforms in the product descriptor (*.product) editor. But it never worked for me - hence that hack using P2. It may be working now as I was working with either 3.5 or early 3.6 when I last tried it.
Have a look at the following tutorial: http://hexapixel.com/2009/01/12/rcp-workspaces.
You said in your comment to the question "I just want to prepopulate the selector window with a certain default location".
You can do just that in PickWorkspaceDialog's (from the tutorial) getWorkspacePathSuggestion() method:
private String getWorkspacePathSuggestion() {
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
String uHome = System.getProperty("user.home");
if (uHome == null) {
uHome = "c:" + File.separator + "temp";
}
buf.append(uHome);
buf.append(File.separator);
buf.append("My App Name");
buf.append("_Workspace");
return buf.toString();
}
For this to work, you do have to create your own dialog though, and I can't tell if that's an option from your question...
In your .product file within the block add:
<property name="osgi.instance.area.default" value="#user.home/workspace" />
And when you build your product, the default config.ini will have this property set.
Details are in the Eclipse docs regarding the various variables.
To set the workspace location programmatically, use:
Platform.getInstanceLocation().set(new URL(...));
