I want create a folder named “services” below “common/js”. Unfortunately, Eclipse seems to get confused with this name while in MFP Design perspective. It doesn’t display the content of the folder, but instead the same services I can see in the services folder in the project root.
As soon as I rename my folder to something else, everything is fine again.
This is no big issue, but can be interesting understand if a sort of filter is applied in Design perspective.
If you will open the Navigator view, in either Java EE or Design perspectives you will see the files that you place in the common\js\services folder. You will also see the files' properties in the Design perspective's Properties view.
You will not see them if you are in the Project Explorer view, in either Java EE or Design perspectives.
It's an odd one. We'll take a look.
This is a curious little default setting in Eclipse, to make your services folder visible:
In the project explorer, select the little down arrow in the top right, in the resulting Menu select Customise View.
Select the Content tab and uncheck the Services Navigator Content option.

I have recently finished building a mini-app using IntelliJ IDEA in javaFx. It is my first time using this ide and language, so I am having difficulties manufacturing an exe file. I watched all sorts of youtube videos and different methods.
It does generate an exe file but when I click it, nothing happens.
Any idea?
I do know that with IntelliJ Ultimate edition you can build down with an EXE file.
There are a couple things you need to double check.
First, is that in your project structure under artifacts, you have the "Type:" set to JavaFx Application(which is on the top right of the window).
Secondly, switch to the Java FX tab and make sure Application class is set to your main class.
Thirdly, Select "all" under Native bundle: which is located towards the bottom of the window.
Lastly, Select the Output Layout tab and move all your available elements to output root then click on the module of your application and look at the settings that appear at the bottom. "Make sure that main class setting is in fact the main class to your application.
Side note: make sure you delete your artifacts build folder just to start from a clean slate. Also make sure your Environment variables are set to the system path correctly.
I am looking for a way to right click selected text and open it in my app. Eg. via OS X's third party share menu. But I can not find any references at Apple's.
Have a look at the apple docs SysServices for creating a service for you app.
The Docs take you through an example of how to set one up.
Once done you will need to go into System Preferences and Enable the service. Your users will also need to do that.
Here is a quick project that shows an adaption of the apple code.
Update:
Although I think the services work good enough. Creating a Share or Action Extension is possible.
This example uses the same Project as above. But I have added an App Action extension (Target) to it.
The template for the Action is not too hard to understand and it took me 5 minutes to do this quick example.
(So I am not saying everything is as it should be but it works)
For the Action Extension:
Follow the instructions here
Which basically is:
After you choose the extension point that makes sense for your app
extension, add a new target to your containing app. The easiest way to
add an app extension target is to use an Xcode template that provides
a target preconfigured for your extension point.
To add a new target to your Xcode app project, choose File > New >
Target. In the sidebar on the left side of the new target dialog,
choose Application Extension for iOS or OS X. In the pane on the right
side of the dialog, Xcode displays the templates you can choose
Do read the above docs to understand better of what you need to do.
Once you have added the Extension. You can actually run it straight away.
Xcode provides you an option to choose a test app to test it in i.e TextEdit.app and takes you through the whole process of temporarily enabling the Extension.
In this example, remember I chose an Action Extension which suited the App.
The App's function in life is to do a basic encryption of selected text and then display the result.
The App's Action Extension will do the same but instead of displaying it, it will replace the selected text with the encryption text.
All that was needed for me to do, was copy the encryption method from the main app, over to the Extension.
I did have to adjust a couple of things though. Namely the original code deals with a NSString, where as the Extension deals with a NSAttributedString.
The conversion I did works but styling attributes are lost. For this example that does not really matter.
An Action Extension does not use the Share contextual menu. It uses an Action menu.
To see the menu, select some text and the hover the cursor over the selected text. You then should see a discloser button on the left of the text.
Like this:
Click it and choose the Extension.
If you do not see it, go to the 'more' option. This will take you to the system preferences where you can grant access to the extension.
The documentation is mainly concerned about distributing the extension and App via the App store.
But you can code sign your App and extension and do a normal archive export.
From there, all should work ok with gatekeeper.
But again refer to the Docs for a fuller understanding.
Here is a link for the code signed app and also the new Project.

I want to write an Android Studio IDE plugin which will add a third tab (After "Design" and "Text" tab) in the XML file editor view.
What I am trying to accomplish is to have a different representation of the layout XML files.
I tried going through the files present under this page but I could not find anything useful.
Can anyone help me please ?
EDIT:
This screenshot shows what I am trying to do.
This third tab will show the layout in JSON format , the JSON being constructed by my plugin.
The main purpose of this tab being this : Once the user approves the JSON structure, the plugin will upload the JSON to my server to store my layout on the cloud.
I have gone through IntelliJ plugin creation process. But since I am building a plugin on top of Android's plugin, I am not able to find any good starting point.
If someone can point me to the source code for the XML layout editor view, I can work from there.
This solution works for me :) and I guess this is simple... you can now make you external tool and distribute for install. In my case when the ViewText windows is deactivated or loses focus, I just close the window automatically...
I'm sure there is a simple option for this but I have as yet been unable to find it. Every time I close and reopen Aptana Studio 3 it collapses all the folders in the project explorer and I have to reopen them all, is there a way to get it to leave them open and save the project explorer's state when I close the program?
Thanks.
I cannot find any way to keep the state of the Project Explorer. However, using the App Explorer, the state of your open folder will be preserved. You can also try the "Navigator" which looks just like the Project Explorer, but appears to keep state. I will add the proviso to that: It kept state when I restarted aptana, but it also developed a GUI glitch where it appears to be scrolled to the right so I only see the right half of all of my file names and I cannot fix it, so this may not be a good option if you get the same glitch.
There is also a method which does not do quite what you ask, but may be a good fix for you anyway. If you click "Link with Editor" picture (two yellow arrows) in the Project Editor, it will automatically expand your project hierarchy to match whichever open file you have active. Since your files stay open when you close Aptana, this would keep the Project Explorer expanded to whatever you are looking at even on restart. See this question
You can also set up working sets for various parts of your code that are buried in the hierarchy and use the Project Explorer to show those working sets instead of you projects. This does not save state, but it does give you easy access to common parts of your code that may be deeply buried.
Hope one of these helps you.
Why would a .sln solution file open and appear empty in Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express - i.e. no windows showing projects and code files etc.
When I inspect the file in a text editor, it contains references to vbproj files (which are present) which indicate that it should not appear as empty.
No error messages are reported when the file is opened.
Update:
(To illustrate my problem)
It attempts to load the projects that belong to the solution:
And then results in a bare solution screen
Express Edition is limited to on project per solution. If you have more than that, you will not be able to use the solution file with the express edition of visual studio. You will need to open the projects separately.
The answer is that the projects did load for the solution but the Window to display them was not open or visible. To make it visible, go to the View menu and select Other Windows:
This displays the 4 projects referenced by the solution
Forgive me for blurring the project names but this might be commercially sensitive and therefore not for public awareness. But you get the picture.
In summary it was my lack of knowledge about the tool, though I had looked under the Window option first thinking along these lines, but the View menu is actually where one would go to display things about the project.
Thanks to everyone for your contributions.
