I'm using this method to install an application, but it doesn't put the applications in the start programs menu. I've been searching in the configuration of the Setup project but I can't find anything self explanatory enough, and I can't find it in google either. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Right-click in the File System tab, click "Add Special Folder" and select "User's Start Menu", then you need to create a shortcut in the start menu folder (instead of actually adding the project output).

I have an open instance of Rational Application Developer - an eclipse-based IDE developed by IBM. RAD is newly installed, and i haven't yet created a shortcut. So, before closing it, i would like to create a shortcut. The problem is i forgot the place where i installed it. Is there any way, from within the IDE (some of its menus, perhaps), to find the location of the IDE (the .exe file) on disk?
Note 1: unlike eclipse, RAD has no 'Installation Details' under Help menu
Note 2: I already found a way to see the IDE's location: from Start, in the "Search Programs and Files" box, i type "rational" and it shows me the program ; i right click, select Properties, and under the Shortcut tab, the 'Start in' field shows the containing folder of the IDE. However, this only works because the application is pinned to the Start menu. In case I delete the pin accidentally, or the pin is not even created on installation, because i don't check the corresponding box, the question still stands: how to find the IDE's location from within the IDE, not from outside it.
In Eclipse you would go to Help -> Installation Details -> Configuration tab
However, in RAD, there is no Installation Details under Help. Fortunately, it is accessible this way: Help -> About Rational® Application Developer -> Installation Details. Credit goes to greg-449 for pointing this out.
In the Installation Details window, under the Configuration tab, the relevant snippet is the following
-launcher
C:\Users\user_name\IBM_85\SDP\eclipse.exe
as a comparison, in eclipse it would look something like
-launcher
C:\Users\user_name\eclipse-jee-neon-3-win32-x86_64\eclipse\eclipse.exe
this information is also contained in the line starting with eclipse.home.location
I have migrated my application development to a new PC and now when I run the application (Run > Run as > Web application). I get the "HTML Page Selection" popup in which I select my application. However, now I also get a "Choose a launch configuration:" popup which lists "AwardTracker" and "AwardTrackwer.html". They both do the same thing. How do I remove one of these please (this is more annoying than anything else)?

How to remove a configuration in Eclipse GWT
Simply select any Web Application and click on RED X icon displayed on top right of it to remove an existing configuration.
Once a Web Application is configured then there is no need to create it again. Just launch it from existing one to avoid it choosing a launch configuration again.
Once configured then don't run it again by RIGHT click on the project to run as Web Application. Simply select from the existing one form the tool bar as shown in below screenshots.
Click Run > Run Configurations > your configuration (typically, a name of your HTML or JSP file) > Arguments.
Make sure you only have the path that you want to launch.
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."
http://shivasoft.in/blog/others/tips/locate-source-file-on-local-disc-in-eclipse-external-tool/
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
http://basti1302.github.io/startexplorer/
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: ... "
I never use "Run As -> Run on Server" in Eclipse. How do I hide it?
Create your plug-in, then define your activities pattern to hide the context menus. Then export your plug-in into your eclipse, restart eclipse.
See this blog post how to find the id of context menu and use activities extension.
Straight forward easy 2 sec solution:
Run it once with that option, and if it's not meant to run on a server, then you'll get a pop up like the below saying 'The selection did not contain any resources that can run on a server.'
Click ok.
Now when you go to file --> right click, you'll not see that option anymore.
So the easiest solution to remove it is to run it with that option once.
I have also been frustrated with this and wanted to remove that option. I came looking for a viable/comfortable/doable answer, but couldn't find it. After months, i have found a easier solution for this. It's pretty straight forward as given above.
You need to remove server features and plugins. Cant find any setting/preference interface on eclipse? Right. Try this, it worked on my setup;
Go to .../Eclipse-xxx/features/, find the folders starting with org.eclipse.wst.server...
Create a new folder named "server-stuff" in in the folder "features"
Move org.eclipse.wst.server.... to "server-stuff" folder
Go to .../Eclipse-xxx/plugins/, find the jar files starting with org.eclipse.wst.server...
Create a new folder named "server-stuff" in the folder "plugins"
Move org.eclipse.wst.server... to "server-stuff"
Now restart eclipse. All the damn "server" features gone.
If you encounter any unexpected result, just back-up with "server-stuff" folders.
How do I get eclox working in Eclipse 3.5?
I'm using Ubuntu 9.04. I installed Doxygen from ubuntu repositories(version 1.5.8). Then I installed eclox on eclipse through the update site.
Despite this, I don't get any option to in any menu to initiate it.
Also the eclox site doesn't seem to have any "getting started" guide.
Please help.
BTW there is a manual inside org.gna.eclox_0.8.0.jar, wierd they did not post this on the project site!!!
Here is the content
Eclox, a Doxygen frontend plugin for Eclipse.
<http://gna.org/projects/eclox>
INSTALLATION
There are two options to install the plugin: using the update site or
using the packaged feature.
The update site is the more convenient way to install eclox. It is
located at https://anb0s.github.io/eclox. See eclipse's user
guilde for additionnal details.
When using the packaged feature, you must extract the archive content into
your eclipse's root location. For additionnal details, please refer to
eclipse's user guide.
CONFIGURATION
Once the plugin installed, you must ensure that the default PATH environment
variable makes the doxygen binary reachable for the plugin. If not, you can
update PATH to include to directory containing the Doxygen binary, or you can
tell Eclox where that binary is located on your system (which is in my opinion
the better solution). To do this, open eclipse's preference edition dialog
window and go into the new "Doxygen" section.
USAGE
You can create new Doxygen projects (also called doxyfiles) using the
creation wizard. Go to "File->New->Other->Other->Doxygen Configuration". Press
next and set both file location and name. Then a empty doxyfile will be
created at the specified location, the wizard automatically adds the
".Doxyfile" extension.
You should now see a file with a blue #-sign icon. This is your new
doxyfile. Double-clicking on it will open the editor. You can now browse and
edit the settings.
Once your have properly set all doxyfile fields, you can launch a
documentation build using the toolbar icon showing a blue #-sign. In
the case the button is not visible in the toolbar, your current perspective
needs to get configured. Go to "Window->Customize perspective->Commands" and
in "Available command groups" check "Doxygen". Additionnaly, you can browse
the laetest builds by clicking the down arrow right to the toolbar button.
When the documentation build starts, a new view showing the build log opens.
In its toolbar, a button named "Stop" allows you to halt the current build
process. The current build also appears in the Eclipse job progress view and
you can control the job from there.
The build toolbar action determine the next doxyfile to build depending on
the current active workbench part (editor or view) and the current selection
in that part. For example, if the active part is a doxyfile editor, the next
doxyfile to build will be the one being edited. If the active part is the
resource explorer and the current selection is a doxyfile, that doxyfile will
be next to get build. In the case the active part selection doesn't correspond
to a doxyfile, the last built doxyfile will be rebuiled. And if the build
history is empty, you will be asked for the doxyfile to build.
HTH Anybody
Never mind, worked it out my self.
First you need to create a DoxyFile (which is the configuration file) by giving the source path and the output path.
Then only you can generate the documentation by right clicking the project and selecting the "Generate Documentation".
Thanks anyway!
I just faced a problem setting the Doxygen binary path in eclox 0.8.0 settings in Eclipse on Mac OS X 10.7.
There is no way to configure the path via Eclipse-preferences->Doxygen.
The solution is to edit the preferences file manually
add a (fake) location, let's say /Applications, using the wizard mentioned above.
close Eclipse
edit this file:
$WORKSPACE/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.gna.eclox.core.prefs:
Replace the value for doxygen.default (currently eclox.core.doxygen.CustomDoxygen /Applications\n) with eclox.core.doxygen.CustomDoxygen /Applications/Doxygen.app/Contents/Resources/doxygen\n.
restart Eclipse
For MacOS user there is a very easy way to get around via the issue of the Doxygen version selection. The link that provides details is here:https://github.com/theolind/mahm3lib/wiki/Integrating-Doxygen-with-Eclipse
After installing the Eclox plugging:
1)"go to "Eclipse --> Preferences --> Oxygen"
2)"Press Shift+CMD+G then Add: "/Applications/Doxygen.app/Contents/Resources/doxygen"
3) Doxygen's version should be displayed
this might help you or any windows user trying to install eclox:
Tutorial for Installing eclox — Document Transcript
Step 1: go to eclox website (http://home.gna.org/eclox/) and to copy the update link address.Step
step 2: Insert the link into the update manager in eclipse and press OK.
Step 3: Select the Eclox item and to complete the installation.
Step 4: When the installation has done, you should select a project that you want to generate thedoxygen documents. Then, create a doxygen project for it.
Step 5: config the options. Note: You have to provide the “Input directories” correctly and to select the “Scan recursively”item. Finally, save the configuration file.
Step 6: find out the “#” and to choice “Choose Doxyfile...”.
Step 7: select a doxyfile.Step 8: wait for few seconds and the doucments will be generated.

Like claus I had to dig into the preferences file maually, because eclox 0.8.0 would just not take a good path from Eclipse Preferences file chooser.
So, edit this file: $WORKSPACE/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.gna.eclox.core.prefs and alter the given path (in my case I had to change from
doxygen.default=eclox.core.doxygen.CustomDoxygen C\:\\Programm Files\\doxygen\\bin
to this
doxygen.default=eclox.core.doxygen.CustomDoxygen C\:\\Programme\\doxygen\\bin
Hope this helps.
I find a webpage https://github.com/theolind/mahm3lib/wiki/Integrating-Doxygen-with-Eclipse where you can find more details. Especially, for Mac users, you need to Press Shift+CMD+G then Add: "/Applications/Doxygen.app/Contents/Resources/doxygen" when you configure the doxygen in eclipse before compiling .doxygfile by using Eclox.
Alternative from eclipse is to use Javadoc:
From menu (...Search Project Run...)
Project > Generate Javadoc
You should be in Java project and add comments with tags.
