I need to add the apache poi to my project (I need hssf, ss and xssf). I downloaded a jar file from the internet but it does not contain xssf. I went to http://poi.apache.org/ and I downloaded this: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/poi/release/src/poi-src-3.9-20121203.zip, I extract it..and got stucked. I tried Part 1 but that was only for JavaDoc.
How should I proceed from here?
Download The latest stable release: Apache POI 3.16-FINAL distribution,
open your eclipse project properties,
Java Built Path > Libraries > Add external JARs,
then extract the zip file you downloaded and navigate the extracted folder,
select all the JARs under the sub folders (docs, lib, ooxml-lib),
then finally in the Order and Export section put marks to jar libs you just added,
and click OK.

You should head to the Apache POI Download Page, and then download the binary release. The binary releases have -bin- in their file names. The binary releases contain the POI jars, and their dependencies.
What you've downloaded with -src- in the name is the source package, which contains everything you need to build Apache POI yourself, but if you just want to get started you're much better off with the pre-compiled binary package.

I downloaded Velocity 2.0 (Engine-Core-2.0 JAR) from the Apache Velocity website, http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#engine , and am unable to use it:
The JAR is unreadable in ZIP Viewers like PeaZip, is there something special about this JAR?
velocity-engine-core-2.0.jar Archive is not readable.
Also in Eclipse,
Archive for required library: velocity-engine-core-2.0.jar' in project '..' cannot be read or is not a valid ZIP file
Also, another question: Velocity used to be packaged as a single JAR, like velocity-1.6.jar or velocity-1.7.jar. Why is 2.0 different?
The download links don't take into account the selected mirror (the fix is underway). Meanwhile, replace "http://velocity.apache.org" in the jars URLs with the mirror URL.
EDIT: the fix went through, the links should now work.
I have a computer with two hard drives. In the first one, an SSD disk, I have Windows partition (C) and on the second one (D), a raid volume, I install all the programs. I also moved my user folders (desktop, documents, downloads, pictures and videos) to D:/Users/David.
After installing IntelliJ Idea on D:/Program Filles(x86) a .IntelliJIdea13 directory appeared on D:/Users/David. No problem with this as all was working nice. Then I installed Scala plugin, created a new SBT project and build it. After this, the .sbt directory used by SBT was in C:/Users/David/.sbt but the references to the libraries in my project are pointing to D:/Users/David/.sbt. The question is, how can I force IntelliJ Idea or Scala plugin to download the libraries to D:/Users/David.sbt?
Not 100% sure if this can be a solution, you can change the HOME folder of Intellij IDEA. Look for the folder where the idea executable is. In Linux I have on
~/applications/idea13/bin
On Windows you can check the properties of the menu item. There should be file idea.properties that contains the home folder location of the idea files.
You can find more information here that describe more details:
Locations can be changed by editing the following file:
IDE_HOME\bin\idea.properties
Follow the comments in idea.properties file to change the defaults,
make sure to un-comment the lines defining these properties:
idea.config.path
idea.system.path
idea.plugins.path
idea.log.path
On the other hand you can change the location of your project to D:/Users/David. you should also have a look inside the project folder, there should be a .idea folder with has a library directory. They contains the location of the libs used in the project with their paths.
As dawez allready answered, you should edit idea.properties to set config, system, plugins and log paths.
But if you want to change the user.home path, then you must edit idea.exe.vmoptions file. Just add the following at the end of the file:
-Duser.home=your_new_user_home_path
If you use idea64.exe then you should edit idea64.exe.vmoptions file.
JetBrains had added complete set of features to support such a case and this is described here:
Changing IDE default directories used for config, plugins, and caches storage
I have downloaded the opensource code at open-ride.com in order to set up a rideshare server and associated services.
I am trying to find the ".ear" file that they talk about in the install manual.
does it have to be generated somehow from the downloaded source code?
It has to be generated either manually or through NetBeans. I haven't found out how to do it manually yet, but if you follow the NetBeans instructions you should be able to build it and run it. You might run into an error with the yui compressor where you just need to remove the ../ from the path to it in the configuration file. If you still have problems I may still be able to help.
MercurialEclipse' homepage has links to an update site and, indirectly, to downloadable archives. I can't use the update site since my machine is not connected to the Internet, so I'm downloading the archive on a connected machine and copying it to the target machine.
But now - what do I do?
Putting the JAR file (com.vectrace.MercurialEclipse_2.1.0.201304290948.jar ) in the 'dropins/' folder has no effect.
Putting the JAR file in the 'plugins/' folder also has no effect
Eclipse will not treat the archive as an update site (using Install New Software | Add)
So how do I install this thing?
These steps are untested but they should replicate the update site on your local file system:
Clone this repository: https://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/mercurialeclipse.wiki/
Download the stable plugin jar file from the downloads section and place it in update_site/stable/plugins
Edit update_site/stable/site.xml and remove all the <archive ..> elements.
I do not have access to the internet from eclipse so I can not add software using update sites. I have tried several different methods but none seems to be working.
I am using the JBoss Dev Studio version of kepler, but I figured this might be a general eclipse question.
Tried Help- Install New Software - Add... - browse to zip file and I get "could not find jar:file:/blahblahblah/jautodoc_1.10.0.zip!/" Nothing.
Tried unzipping it so we end up with eclipse/dropins/jautodoc_1.10.0/[features | plugins followed by restart. Nothing.
Tried unzipping it so we end up with eclipse/dropins/[features | plugins] followed by restart. Still nothing.
What is the definitive way to do this?
Follow these steps for Installation:
Download jautodoc_1.11.0.zip file from :
http://jautodoc.sourceforge.net/index.html#download
Unzip the jautodoc_1.11.0.zip file from the eclipse folder.
Verify the following files get copied:
Plugin folder :
net.sf.jautodoc.velocity_1.11.0.jar
net.sf.jautodoc_1.11.0.jar
Features folder :
net.sf.jautodoc.feature_1.11.0
Restart eclipse.
The JAutodoc feature should be available in Windows --> Preferences
Usage :
Select the whole file or method or attribute --> Rightclick --> Add Javadoc
Visit the following link for further info :
http://www.roseindia.net/IDE/Eclipse/jautodoc-plugin.shtml
I finally figured it out. The correct place to install the plugin and features folders is in
$ECLIPSE_HOME/studio/dropins/jautodoc
I had to create the dropins and jautodoc folders.
Perhaps it goes without saying that you can name the sub-folder containing features and plugins to whatever you want.
