Salesforce Eclipse IDE not showing custom fields on object - ide

I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1, and am now having issues with the Force.com IDE.
When I select Force.com->Add/remove metadata components, I'm not able to see any custom field child component in the Objects-Custom component. Does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the issue?

Maybe you should refresh metadata from server? For this just click "Refresh from Server" button in top right corner of the screen.

As of April 2015, I had the same problem and the issue was the current incompatibility of Java 8, Eclipse Kepler (or Juno) and the current Force.com IDE. I had to (1) uninstall Java 8 completely; (2) re-install Eclipse Kepler--basically unzip the *.gz to a new folder; (3) find an archive download for Java 7 and install it; and (4) re-install the Force.com IDE. This was the only series of steps that completely fixed the problem. All components of custom objects are now available to me in the components tree. My computer's OS is Windows 7 64-bit.

My Netbeans 12.2 on Ubuntu only has lightweight & temporary C++ IDE, can't find the real one

In Netbeans 12.2 on Ubuntu 18.04 (using that snap install), for my C++ plugin I have that first image. When I try to create a new project I get that second image. That is some kind of a lightweight version that does not do your makefiles for you. If I try to open an existing C++ project it just never IDs any project file or folder as the right one. And notice that this version does not include a "Create from source code".
Does anyone know how I can install the "real" c++ plugin? I've looked in a lot of tutorials but they all say it should be there under Available Plugins, but it is not there.
This comes very late but it seems that Netbeans 12 lacks some components for this.
Therefore you must enable Netbeans 8.2 Plugin Portal from Plugins Settings.
Then deactivate the C/C++ and then force updates from Updates -> Check for Updates. Restart IDE and install 8.2 C/C++ plugin.
Note: I have lead into this problem now because unpack2000 is no more present.
The validation of downloaded plugins cannot be completed, cause: NBM ../.netbeans/12.4/update/download/org-netbeans-modules-cnd-kit.nbm needs unpack200 to process following entries:
netbeans/modules/locale/org-netbeans-modules-cnd-kit_ja.jar.pack.gz
netbeans/modules/locale/org-netbeans-modules-cnd-kit_pt_BR.jar.pack.gz
netbeans/modules/locale/org-netbeans-modules-cnd-kit_ru.jar.pack.gz
netbeans/modules/locale/org-netbeans-modules-cnd-kit_zh_CN.jar.pack.gz
netbeans/modules/org-netbeans-modules-cnd-kit.jar.pack.gz
This can be resolved by installing jre-11 (if it is not present already. I have it on Opensuse Thubleweed amogst with jre-16).
So then you just start netbeans from terminal with:
$ netbeans --jdkhome "/usr/lib64/jvm/jre-11"
...and then install blugin, and when it is ready close netbeans and start it normally again.
Just wanted to report that the answer from Devspain also works with Netbeans 14, in Ubuntu 22.04.

JBoss Tools 4.16.0 Final completely freeze Eclipse 4.16 (2020-06)

I'm using Eclipse EE 4.16 (2020-06) - on Windows 10 Professional x64 - and I've tried to install the JBoss Tools 4.16.0 Final Plugin for it.
It literally break the IDE, whatever I try to do the IDE freezes: If I copy -> paste some code the IDE freezes for about 10 seconds (the screen become gray and Eclipse not responding).. the same thing happens if I try to navigate through classes or method (even worst..).
I tries even with Eclipse EE 4.15 (2020-03) but I obtain the same result.
Googling around I have found hypothetical solutions regarding eclipse.ini file changes but nothing works.
I attach a thread dump here.
Can you help me?
can you please also try https://tools.jboss.org/downloads/jbosstools/2020-09/4.17.0.Final.html? Its based on Eclipse 2020-09, so it could help.
Which JDK version are you using?
Thanks for response!

Where has the JavaFX scene builder gone?

I am trying to find the elusive JavaFX scene builder so I can use it in Intellij. I am on Windows OS.
Oracle have stated that the JavaFX scene builder is included in a new download, but no matter how I search I cannot find it (see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/downloads/index.html). I think they have linked to the incorrect page and Googling for it is getting me nowhere.
I already have Java 8 SDK installed and working fine. Apparently JavaFX is now included in that, but nowhere in the Java folder can I find the scene builder and it seems to be completely missing online.
Please can anyone help? I am just wanting to write a small GUI program and it seems like JavaFX is the way to go (if it isn't then feel free to disabuse me of this notion!)
With JDK8u40, according to this:
Starting with Oracle Java SE 8u40, Oracle does not provide a separate set of accompanying JavaFX Scene Builder binaries. If you would like to contribute changes, ideas or just let us know what you have done with the code, please consult the OpenJDK Community contribution guidelines and join the openjfx-dev mailing list.
You can still download the last binary at Oracle in this link. But check this warning:
WARNING: These versions of JavaFX Scene Builder may include components that do not contain the latest security patches and are not recommended for use in production.
This means it doesn't include the last changes of 8u40, like the new Spinner control.
Alternatives
The project is open source, and you can find the updated code at the OpenJFX repo. So you are free to download it and build it.
Since its released under BSD license, Gluon is offering support for an updated version of Scene Builder, and you can download an installer for your platform or an executable jar from here.
Besides, they have an open repository where anybody can contribute.
Install JavaFx Scene Builder (Gluon) with Intellij 14 on Windows with JDK7
This will probably work with Java 8 as well but I am using 7 so I didn't test 8.
I know this has been answered but this might be helpful for future Intellij users. To get scene builder to work with Intellij 14 use the following steps.
Install Scene Builder for Windows. Download/Install From Here (Windows Installer (x64))
Set Scene Builder path to executable in Intellij. File -> Settings
-> Languages And Frameworks -> JavaFx By default mine installed under C:\Users\kris\AppData\Local\SceneBuilder\
Open your .fxml file. Click on the scene builder tab.
UPDATE 2019:
The default install path appears to know be "Program Files" C:\Program Files\SceneBuilder\SceneBuilder.exe
JavaFX plugin might need to be enabled in Intellij 2019
On a mac, in Intellij, you need to go to preferences, then type JavaFX and then do this. Please look at the attached Image.

testdroid plugin does not show up in eclipse

I am trying to install testdroid recorder plugin on the latest Android ADT on Mac OS X 10.7. I am following all the steps listed on the site. The plugin gets successfully installed according to the messages displayed. I have also confirmed the same by going to "install new software" and viewing the site "http://testdroid.com/updates".
However, it does not show up in the Preferences tab as well as the new> others tab, where I do not see any option like Android Testdroid>.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Testdroid Recorder since version 4.4.18 requires java 7 installed, so you have to update it to be able to use the plugin.

Unable to set up jquery mobile project with worklight 6.1

I am unable to set-up a IBM Worklight project involving jquery-mobile. Here are my environment details:
eclipse Version: Juno Service Release 2 (32-bit version since I am using jre1.6.0_41)
Worklight version: 6.1.0.01
jquery-mobile: 1.3.1
I can create a new worklight project (called MyLab1) and associate jquery-mobile CSS and JS files to it. However the problems are:
The default .html file gets created as index.html (under 'apps->MyLab1->common') while my expectation is it should be MyLab1.html (as per the training material I have from IBM Worklight)
The 'Mobile Navigation' pane is completely blank while my expectation (again as per training material) is I will see a 'page(default)' control there
Whenever I try to create a new control (under 'Mobile Navigation' pane) I get the error 'Mobile Navigation controls cannot be added to the current page. This feature is only enabled for projects which have jQuery Mobile or Dojo mobile available'
I do not see any option (under eclipse menu) to start or stop Worklight sever (that comes with Developer studio version)
I am fairly new to Mobile application development space (just started with IBM worklight set up this week) and given the above issues I believe I may be doing something fundamentally wrong.
Starting Worklight 6.1, it is very much expected for a new application filenames' to be main.js, main.css and index.html.
Additionally, while you can do the adding of jQuery Mobile by yourself, you should instead use the wizard Worklight Studio provides for you.
This way not only will the files you choose be added properly to your project, but the HTML file will be updated accordingly as well (HEAD references, initial jQuery Mobile template in the body element).
The Palette view should then also list the relevant jQuery Mobile widgets you can use in your app.
Please follow the Worklight 6.1 training modules if you intend on using Worklight 6.1.
My impression is that you are reading the Worklight 5.0.x training modules.
To start or stop the Worklight Server, you need to open the Servers view and click either the play or stop buttons.
Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+3 and write "server".
Everything works: http://i.stack.imgur.com/K1G8O.png
I found the solution after trying out a few things. It turned out that WL-6.1.x doesn't work well with JRE 6 (32 bit) and eclipse Juno (32 bit) combination. Once I switched to JRE7/Juno-64 bit; things apparently started to work (for now at least).
Thanks Idan for your helpful comments
