Useful Eclipse Java Code Templates [closed]

You can create various Java code templates in Eclipse via the

Window->Preferences->Java -> Editor -> Templates

e.g.

sysout is expanded to:

System.out.println(${word_selection}${});${cursor}

You can activate this by typing sysout followed by CTRL+SPACE

What useful Java code templates do you currently use?
Include the name and description of it and why it's awesome.

There's an open bounty on this for an original/novel use of a template rather than a built-in existing feature.

• Create Log4J logger
• Get swt color from display
• Syncexec - Eclipse Framework
• Singleton Pattern/Enum Singleton Generation
• Readfile
• Const
• Traceout
• Format String
• Comment Code Review
• String format
• Try Finally Lock
• Message Format i18n and log
• Equalsbuilder
• Hashcodebuilder
• Spring Object Injection
• Create FileOutputStream

Eclipse: Set maximum line length for auto formatting?

I am working with Java. If I hit Ctrl+Shift+F in Eclipse Helios, it will auto format my code. At a certain point, it wraps lines. I would like to increase the maximum line length. How can I do this?

Android Min SDK Version vs. Target SDK Version

When it comes to developing applications for Android, what is the difference between Min and Target SDK version? Eclipse won't let me create a new project unless Min and Target versions are the same!

How do I remove javascript validation from my eclipse project?

I am using eclipse on my project and while messing around with my eclipse settings, I turned on Javascript support. Now eclipse complains that JQuery library has errors in it and is not letting me compile the project. Does anyone know how to turn javascript validation off?

What are the pros and cons of the SVN plugins for Eclipse, Subclipse and Subversive? [closed]

SVN in Eclipse is spread into 2 camps. The SVN people have developed a plugin called Subclipse. The Eclipse people have a plugin called Subversive. Broadly speaking they both do the same things. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

How do you debug PHP scripts?

How do you debug PHP scripts?

I am aware of basic debugging such as using the Error Reporting. The breakpoint debugging in PHPEclipse is also quite useful.

What is the best (in terms of fast and easy) way to debug in phpStorm or any other IDE?

How to build an APK file in Eclipse?

When I develop the project using Eclipse, the APK file goes on the emulator. But I want to upload my application to a real device. Is there a tool to build an APK file?

What is the process? Or is it possible to pull the APK file from the emulator?

How can you speed up Eclipse?

How can you make the experience with Eclipse faster?

For instance: I disable all the plugins I don't need (Mylyn, Subclipse, …).

Instead of using a plugin for Mercurial, I configure TortoiseHG as an external tool.

How do I change Eclipse to use spaces instead of tabs?

By default Eclipse indents with a hard tab character. How do I change it to spaces?

How can I show line numbers in Eclipse?

How can I show line numbers by default in Eclipse?

"Debug certificate expired" error in Eclipse Android plugins

I am using Eclipse Android plugins to build a project, but I am getting this error in the console window:

[2010-02-03 10:31:14 - androidVNC]Error generating final archive:
Debug certificate expired on 1/30/10 2:35 PM!

How do I fix it?

Eclipse jump to closing brace

What is the keyboard short cut in Eclipse to jump to the closing brace of a scope?

How to turn off the Eclipse code formatter for certain sections of Java code?

I've got some Java code with SQL statements written as Java strings (please no OR/M flamewars, the embedded SQL is what it is - not my decision).

I've broken the SQL statements semantically into several concatenated strings over several lines of code for ease of maintenance. So instead of something like:

String query = "SELECT FOO, BAR, BAZ FROM ABC WHERE BAR > 4";

I have something like:

String query =
    "SELECT FOO, BAR, BAZ" +
    "  FROM ABC          " +
    " WHERE BAR > 4      ";

This style makes the SQL much easier to read and maintain (IMHO), especially for larger queries. For example, I can put my editor into "overwrite" mode and modify the text in-place fairly easily.

Note that this issue generalizes beyond the particular example of SQL. Any code that is written with any vertical formatting, particularly tabular constructs, is susceptible to destruction by a pretty printer.

Now, some project members use the Eclipse editor and the semantic formatting is often destroyed when they format an entire source file.

Is there a way to instruct Eclipse to ignore certain lines of source with respect to formatting?

I'm looking for something like a special comment that toggles the Eclipse formatter. Ideally, such a comment could be configurable to be whatever we choose, and other formatters could be programmed to respect it as well:

// STOP-ECLIPSE-FORMATTING
String query =
    "SELECT FOO, BAR, BAZ" +
    "  FROM ABC          " +
    " WHERE BAR > 4      ";
// START-ECLIPSE-FORMATTING

Obviously, one "solution" is to have our team members standardize on some external formatter like Jalopy or JIndent, but that's not what this question is about (also, not my decision on this project): I'm specifically looking for a way to avoid the Eclipse formatter on an ad-hoc basis.

Ideally, a solution will allow me to insert instructions for the Eclipse formatter without requiring team members using Eclipse to do any IDE reconfiguration (other than possibly choosing a formatter agnostic command comment: STOP-ECLIPSE-FORMATTING → STOP-FORMATTING).

Can't start Eclipse - Java was started but returned exit code=13

I am trying to get my first taste of Android development using Eclipse. I ran into this problem when trying to run Eclipse, having installed version 4.2 only minutes ago.

After first trying to start Eclipse without any parameters to specify the Java VM, I got an error message saying it couldn't find a Java VM called javaw.exe inside the Eclipse folder, so I found where Java was installed and specified that location as the parameter in the shortcut's target. Now I get a different error, "Java was started but returned exit code=13".

Similar questions seem to indicate that it's a 32-bit/64-bit conflict, but I'm 99% positive that I downloaded 64-bit versions of both Eclipse and Java (RE 7u5), which I chose because I have 64-bit Windows 7.

• If anyone knows how to confirm that my Eclipse and Java are 64-bit, that'd be appreciated.
• If you think my problem is a different one, please help!
• Please speak as plainly as you can, as I am totally new to Eclipse and Java.

How to solve "Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration" for Spring Data Maven Builds

I am trying to work with Spring Data and Neo4j. I started by trying to follow this guide linked to by the main site. In particular I based my pom.xml off of the Hello World example file. Here is a snip from my pom.xml for the plugin that is causing the issues...

<plugin>
<!-- required to resolve aspectj-enhanced class features -->

The error I am seeing is...

 Multiple annotations found at this line:

    - Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.codehaus.mojo:aspectj-maven-plugin:1.0:test-compile (execution: default, phase: process-classes)

I am running Eclipse 3.6.2 and m2e 0.13. I'm no Maven expert so please be very explanitory in your answers if possible.

[update] I have now also tried m2e 1.0.0 via this update site and still get the same error.
