I am trying to upgrade some online synth applications made with the old JSyn plugin .
Initially the former programmer sent me the .jar file of the synth application which was more or less not useful .
I asked for the project files so that I can perform the upgrade.
I received a folder with an .src ending which when I open has multiple subfolders that end up in .java files that I can edit .
Now the files are at least editable but both Netbeans and Eclipse can't see any of the folders as a project file so reprogramming and understanding the structure of the program is kind of a nuisance .
It would be helpful if anybody explained to me what is happening and/or how to solve that problem .
You can build a new JSyn JAR file using the source code on GitHub at:
https://github.com/philburk/jsyn
The GitHub repo has a .project file for Eclipse so you can open it directly in Eclipse. Then add the JSyn project to your own project.
Right click on your project name in Eclipse.
Select "Build Path > Configure Build Path..."
Click on "Projects" Tab
Add the JSyn Project

I am trying to import a projetc (in ZIP file) in my netbeans. It is downloaded from GitHub (link: https://github.com/varavell/OnlineBookStore). While importing the project from Zip it shows the error and no project becomes imported. At the same time, at the bottom right corner it keeps unpacking of the project (never finish it though). Why this happening and how can I run a complete project into netbeans?
The worning is:
This warning (No NetBeans projects added) can happen if the zip file was created manually. To avoid this create the ZIP file in NetBeans using File > Export Project > To Zip...
Unzip your project and then open Netbeans. Go to File > open > your project file
You need to have one of the projects that Netbeans recognizes in the zip file.
This particular project has no pom.xml, build.xml or nbproject directory.
You will need to create a new project of the appropriate type and extact/copy your sources from the zip into it.
It's not possible to know what the problem is from the information you're providing.
It might be that the zip is corrupted, that the zip is not correct, that the zip contains a project in an unrecognized format, or that it's a bug with netbeans, for example.
You need to provide the NetBeans' log at least. I'm currently on cellphone, so i can't tell you where to fimd it, but you can find it yourself after a simple google search.
As for an immediate solution, since the project is on GitHub, you can simply clone the project using Git (inside NB). Or create a new project and manually replicate the files from the source-codes and file-structure visible on GitHub.
If you try to import a web project. first of all plugin web tools JSF, RichFaces etc. and then you will import your NetBeans web files.
and then Export Project > To Zip.
You should extract your project from the zip first. Then add it from file system.
How can I get the full java code of a netbeans project? I have created a project for a contest, but need to submit the whole code. In Netbeans alot of the libraries and classes code is hidden. I need to submit all this. Even if a plugin needs to be installed.
Thank You :)
Assuming you have a NetBeans Project named HelloWorld in your system,let's assume that the default directory of storage of NetBeans Projects is in
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\NetBeansProjects\HelloWorld // On Windows OS
/home/NetBeansProjects/HelloWorld // On *nix(Linux,Unix) based OS
If it is different from the above,then please switch to the default directory of the Netbeans Projects.
Select your project folder from that,HelloWorld here.
It'll have several directories(folders) inside.
Switch over to src folder. All the .java files are placed in that directory. Those are the source code in Java. You can open and check and verify those files using any text-editor like Notepad,Gedit,etc.
NOTE :- DON'T DELETE ANY OTHER FOLDER/FILES unnecessarily,else,your NetBeans project won't be recognised/won't run properly.
I think Eclipse is trying to make me miserable. A couple of hours ago, my project was working and compiling well. Suddenly that all changed. Eclipse somehow wipes out all changes I have made to my files(activity, manifest etc.) I make sure to save often but when I go to run the project, I get the error that I have a build error. I checked and there was none, so I go to close Eclipse, so I can reopen and see if the errors will go away. Instead what happens is Eclipse wipes clean all my files and I end up with a project on disk with lots of blank code files. I try to run anyway, and I get the error message below.
Failed to read the project description file (.project) for 'com.example.android.nfc.simulator.FakeTagsActivity.FakeTagsActivity'. The file has been changed on disk, and it now contains invalid information. The project will not function properly until the description file is restored to a valid state.
Anyone have an idea what in the world this is about and how I can rectify this?
I would recommend to wipe out all the eclipse related configuration files(make sure you take the backup if you have manually made some changes in those) and import the project again, by following
File -> Import... -> Existing Project into Workspace
Make sure you take the backup of whole project before doing this.
When Eclipse gets stuck in some obscure status, I usually find useful to recreate the .metadata folder in workspace directory. It is a drastic solution, but it usually works for me. After that you can reimport all your projects.
This happened to me because I had a conflict in my .project file. I opened it up in a text editor and fixed the conflict (in my case, removed from ====... to >>>branch..., as well as <<<HEAD) and then I was able to open the project in eclipse.
I was just encountering this same issue (using Zend Studio 12, which is built on Eclipse). My problem was that I was creating a project from a Remote Server, and I was just downloading everything, which also included the .project file from the old project. It wasn't showing this error until I'd closed the program and tried to open it again (which usually wasn't until the next day).
I seem to have resolved it by making sure not to download the .project when initializing the project.
If the .project file is a text file, so if you have it in version control you might want to copy it over from there.
Before you trying the following make a backup of your current project state.
Assuming you don't have an old copy, you can open it in a text editor and try to see if there is something obvious wrong.
If this fails, copy the source files of your project to a fresh location (without the eclipse configuration files) and import it as a new project into eclipse.
if you still have all of your other source (.java files, AndroidManifest.xml, resources), you might be able to get your project back by simply going to the folder containing the project, removing the .project file that you say is now empty, and then using the new project wizard to recreate the project (and .project file) for you from your existing tree of source.
from the menus, select File -> New... -> Project , and then, in the first dialog, choose Android Project from Existing Code .
if you had done anything special to the .project (reliance on specific .jar files or changes to classpath), you may have to re-do these steps after you re-create your project; but at least it should pick up the code you already have.
If all the files are empty, and you have no working Backup, I can't help. I would recommend to use proper version control in the future.
Use git or mercurial, they have nice UI integrations (see tortoisegit/tortoisehg).
To decouple the build process and library management from eclipse, take a look at maven or gradle, this might help you in future projects.
If you use git, complete the merge e.g. del the head in your androidmanifest.
I also got the Same Issue in Eclipse but the real problem is i removed the actual Source project folder from source location (from which eclipse is trying to take the project) to some other place hence my eclipse is unable to get web.xml file since it is not available. Now i changed my source project folder location to the path where eclipse is trying to search for. Issue Resolved for me.
Just delete the 'servers' folder in your workspace and try again.
Im writing a server based application and i would like eclipse to be able to interact with it.
I was wondering if eclipse PDE can handle using an external jar to interact with RabbitMQ. Also would i have access to the editor i.e. could the server respond and then update the code on the users end inside the editor pane?
Also if anyone knows any good resources for eclipse plug-in development that would be great as the only books i can find on amazon are a few years old
Thanks,
Ben
You can include any JAR in your plugin and write code that uses it.
Copy the JAR into your plugin project (usually they're placed into a lib folder in the project).
Open your plugin's manifest or plugin.xml file and go to the Runtime tab.
In the Classpath section, use the Add... button to add the JAR.
Go to the Build tab and make sure the JAR is selected at least for the Binary Build.
Save.
Now you should be able to write code that uses the JAR and when you build your plugin it will be packaged in your plugin.
If you find that you'll be writing multiple plugins that go together and all use the same JAR(s), there's a better way to package it, but I'll leave those details out for now.
I am currently studying at university and based on other peoples recommendations I am beginnning to read other peoples code.
i have found and downloaded the source for an open source java project, that seems quite interesting. I want to load this project into an IDE (netbeans or eclipse), so as to make it easier to read and navigate. However both IDE's say that the project is not recognised. It is not only this project, but any project I have attempted to load.
How do I load a project (ie. a file structure of source files) into the above IDE's as a project.
Thanks in advance,
Sam
In Eclipse, select File, New, Java Project, give the project a name and then select Create Project from Existing Source. You should then select the src folder that contains the code that you'd like to use.
Eclipse should then create a new project containing the source. To change the project settings e.g. source folders/external jars, right click on the project in the Package Explorer and select Properties, Java Build Path, Source and make any appropriate changes.
Actually there is a cool trick with Eclipse, you should be able to just select the class that you are interested (select all of the text from your browser), and just paste this in Eclipse right on top of a project, it will automatically create a class for you. It's very handy when working with SWT snippets for example.
You need to have created an Eclipse project first. But you can just create one project and put any number of classes in it.
If the open source project in question uses Maven as the build system (i.e., there is a pom.xml file in the root of the project) and you have Maven installed, you can run 'mvn eclipse:eclipse' to build the project files for eclipse to use. Then just use File > Import and select existing project into Workspace and point it at the root of the project folder. Eclipse should then import the entire project with the appropriate libraries. There are also plugins that work for NetBeans and Idea I believe.
