[news.eclipse.enterprise-users] Re: .project - invisible file name

eclipseng@xxxxxxx (John Arthorne) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 17:47:41 GMT

Hi Scott,

Unfortunately it is hard-coded and can't be changed. It needed to have a well known name to allow tools to perform special processing on it, and so that when a project is imported or checked out of a repository Eclipse can find it. It is specified in the API constant org.eclipse.core.resources.IProjectDescription.DESCRIPTION_FILE_NAME.

Hi there. I have a need to be able to tell eclipse not to use an (UNIX) invisible file name for it's project file and settings. Because '.project' is, by definition, invisible, when I try to use tools to mount our source code tree on our Unix server, anything starting with a '.' is invisible. This causes odd and inconsistent behaviour within Eclipse. It is able to create the '.project' file, for instance, but is unable to read or write to it.

I cannot find this resource in any externalized file (so far, at least) and I am hoping that it was not hard-coded (GASP!). While I am searching for where this string is located in the Eclipse source, I thought I would ask if there is a way I can modify this string easily.

I realize that if used completely within an Unix framework or completely within a Windows framework that this would not be a problem, but unfortunately for a lot of Enterprise implementations, cross-platform usability is essential. Not to mention that hard-coding a resource name is REALLY bad programming practice ;-)

If anyone knows of a good way to change this string withing Eclipse, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Scott

[news.eclipse.enterprise-users] Update site

ar_ramzy@xxxxxxx (ramzy ) — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 07:40:48 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to add an update site to my application, and I'd like to filter the features to update using https protocol to access to the server. ie: if a user is not allowed to use a feature because of a lisence missing, this feature must not appear in his update site wizard.

Thanks for help :)

[news.eclipse.enterprise-users] Eclipse 3.4.2 hangs - eclipse-jee-ganymede-SR2

kishanchellapaandy_g@xxxxxxx (Kishan ) — Fri, 29 May 2009 07:39:39 GMT

Hi,

Recently I have downloaded eclipse-jee-ganymede-SR2. After starting eclipse, I open a jsp file in eclipse's jsp editor and on mouseover of some errors in the jsp file, eclipse hangs. CPU usage shoots upto 50% and remains there for eclipse.exe process.

I'm using WindowsXP SP2 (x86, 2GB ram) and java version 1.6.0_13

the jsp file is:

...... ...... ...... ...... ...... ......

Eclipse hangs when I mouseover on (head tag does not have a corresponding start tag)

I tried to run/start eclipse using java and memory arguments. But nothing seems to be working.

What is wrong here? Please advice.

Thank you.
Regards,
Kishan.G

[news.eclipse.enterprise-users] partial mirroring Eclipse Update Site

xhi2018@xxxxxxx (Simon Linden) — Mon, 25 May 2009 10:26:36 GMT

Hello,

I posted the same question in the "eclipse.newcomer" newsgroup - but didn't get an answer there - so sorry for this cross-posting.

I'm playing around with the Equinox p2 Repository Mirroring [ http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Repository_Mirroring ] to mirror the Eclipse Update site for a intranet.

I didn't find a way to mirror only some IU (Installable Units/Plugins) from the official Eclipse Update Site. In my case I'm trying to mirror only the Subversive svn plugins. Is there a way to do that? I didn't find any documentations already.

many thanks in advance

[news.eclipse.enterprise-users] Predefined Update Side for Galileo Eclipse 3.5

xhi2018@xxxxxxx (Simon Linden) — Tue, 05 May 2009 16:05:22 GMT

Hello,

first of all - sorry for my English. ;-) I hope everybody can understand the question/problem I have. I have to install Eclipse on serveral computers via NetInstall running on WinXP/WinVista OS in the company with predefinded Update Site.

I want to delete/remove the default Update Sites:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.5
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo

And add one company owned update Site with all the Eclipse Updates and Plugins/Features to use. So every user/developer in the company have to update the Eclipse Installation against the update site of the company and not against any update sites in the internet.

Does anybody know how I can solve this problem?

Thanks in advance :-)
Simon

Blazej, I recommend creating a local mirror of the update site. You then need to implement a automated process to synchronize your mirrors from external sites. You may want to consider checking digital signatures etc when you bring external archives into your intranet. Fyi: I covered some additional use cases along these lines at my EclipseCon presentation this year: https://www.eclipsecon.org/submissions/2009/view_talk.php?id=612

Hello enterprise users!
I would like to ask if any one could advice me how to make Update Manager from 3.2.2 update Eclipse feature from a local update site.

The situation looks like this: When I make a local directory on a machine inside a company's network (no Internet connection) with a downloaded unziped update site and try to update a feature in a headless mode. I got an error: Connection error. Command failed.

I have an extension location with the feature I want to update. Is there something I am missing?

[news.eclipse.enterprise-users] Visual Editor for Eclipse Version 43.4

pmh@xxxxxxx (P. Michael Hutchins) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 21:56:12 GMT

I'm posting this here (as well), because it appears that everyone in VE land has expired. (and to try to ask anyone ~at this level of Eclipse~ whether you all have anything in place whatsoever to handle situations such as this one, where, apparently, all work on a ~feature~ just ground to a halt, leaving all the Web Pages ancient and useless - and therefore, time wasting)

I just spent a while looking around to try to see whether VE(*) is even alleged to work with Eclipse Version 3.4(.1).. (*: or anything like it (ieg: I saw some mumbling about a ~replacement~ for it))

.and mostly discovered that nothing related to VE has been updated since Callisto was the newest thing out of the pipe.

Have all the VE people expired?

I also saw a note: "For Eclipse 3.4, please use Visual Editor 1.4. Updatesite : http://update.soyatec.org/Ganymede/ve/1.4";

..but when I added the site to my Software Updates and Add-one / Available Software, all I got was: "No repository found at http://update.soyatec.org/Ganymede/ve/1.4 Error reading update site http://update.soyatec.org/Ganymede/ve/1.4. Connection timed out: connect"

PLEASE, Is there something out there that works, or not?
(& if so, how do I get it, & then get it to work?)


Thanks,

Todd,

Pule 'Private Label' had escaped my notice. I will certainly contact your company to find out more.

There are other solutions out there (for instance Yoxos Enterprise) but in my experience the ones that "do the job" cost more per annum than I do (and I only work part time at providing Eclipse). Justifying such expenditure in the current economic climate is not easy.

Cheers,

Miles
