Showing Annotations in Eclipse Mars for Java is Impossible - java

I am currently trying to get the git annotations in eclipse mars for a Java file, to see when a line was changed. In Luna, this worked (and still works) with Team -> Show annotations. In Mars, this does not work for me. (Also after reinstall and on a different computer). For other files, for example the pom.xml of the maven project, this works. The project is, besides, this problem, working and compiling fine in eclipse and was created based on the pom.xml in eclipse. Also when the project is created via mvn eclipse:eclipse, show annotations is not working.
I've read the settings with Ignore whitespace changes and Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations > Errors > Show in > Vertical ruler (Show annotations not working), which are correct. Also closing and reopening the Java perspective did not work (https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1011988/). I could not find any other recent threads about this.
Is there some configuration for Java that I am missing, or is this an eclipse bug?

Right click on the file . Team -> "Show Revision Information" - in
Eclipse Neon.
Right click on file -> Team -> Show Annotations. - In previous eclipse versions

I had the same problem. Did you check if your Git repository is imported correctly? For some reason mine wasn't.
Check the Git repositories view (Window > Show view > Other > Git > Git Repositories). If you cannot see the repo there, add it and afterwards you should be able to choose "see annotations" under team.

A little bit old, but maybe to close this question.
You will have to "share" your projects.
Right click the project/projects -> Team -> Share Project.
I did select all relevant projects first and then right-clicked to share the projects. Sometimes this does not work, if a project is in the selection list, that has different porperties.
This will connect your project with your git repo.
Good luck.

installing packages locally for a new project in Java

I have downloaded a simple project from a Git repository and opened it in Intellij. A couple of the import statements are highlighted in red, stating "Cannot resolve symbol." The packages that cannot be resolved are: zaxxer, springframework.
Normally in Perl or Python I would fire up a dependency manager like CPAN and simply install them, but my understanding is that there isn't really any such thing in Java and that dependencies are resolved sort of on a project-by-project basis.
I have Maven 3 installed, and my project has a pom.xml file, for what it's worth. What should I do now?
If you have opened the project in IntelliJ you can right click the module and choose "Add framework support". Choose Maven there, if it isn't there then it is already enabled.
Then, simply open your pom file. When indexed there should appear an dialog in the lower right corner asking you if you want to auto import changes or just import them manually. Click on one of them and the dependencies will be added.
If you can't see this notification it may have already been shown, then simply press on the "Event log" in the bottom right corner and the notification should be displayed (with eventual other info).
Edit from OP: Solution was: 1) Turn on the view in View > Tool Windows > Maven Projects. There was no Maven project here, so I added it (selected the pom.xml). 2) As described in an answer at Failed to Read Artifact Descriptor: IntelliJ "In Intellij, go to File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployments -> Maven Check the box, ‘Always update snapshots’
It's a little weird that "always update snapshots" isn't turned on by default for IntelliJ, but this got things working.

How to install a Plug-in project to my Eclipse? (Version: Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2))

I have generated a demo popup menu plugin project automatically by Eclipse. Here is the project structure,
I have set a objectContribution to the point org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus,
When I right click the project and choose Run as -> Eclipse Application, another Eclipse process run and I can see the configured menu works well,
How can I install this plugin for my original Eclipse process?
What I have tried
I did some research and tried to Export -> Deployable plug-ins and fragments, then put it into the %EclipseFolder%/plugins, but it didn't work. I also have tried to Export -> Deployable features and installed it by Help->Install New Software, also failed to see the menu when right click the project.
Will you please help? BTW, I would like to know how to contribute a menu which will display when I right click on a package in a project? Thanks so much.
Use the Deployable plug-ins and fragments wizard and select Intall into Host on the Destination page.
This will create a p2 repository at the denoted location and install the selected plug-ins from there into the host instance, i.e. the Eclipse IDE that you are currently working with. I think a restart may be required.

The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved [duplicate]

While compiling an android project in eclipse 3.4.2, I am getting The project cannot be built until the build path errors are resolved.
I got a temporary solution from the blog http://www.scottdstrader.com/blog/ether_archives/000921.html
The resolution was to force a resave of the selected projects (and their .classpath files):
Open the project properties
Select Java Build Path > Libraries
Add a new, arbitrary library (to be deleted later) > OK
Wait for the workspace to refresh (or force a refresh of the project)
The error(s) will go away
Remove the dummy library
The only other references I could find were to make minor alterations of contents of the .classpath file.
Is there any permanent fix for this issue?
Have you tried using Project > Clean... from the menu? This will force a new build on the selected projects in Eclipse.
1-Right CLick on your project folder, Choose Build Path > Configure Build Path
2-Select Libraries Tab and delete any arbitrary library present there.
3-Click on Add Library option, Select JRE System Library and click Next.
4-Choose last Radiobutton option Workspace default JRE and click Finish.
5-press f5 for refresh.
6-run ur program .
This what fixed it for me...
I was having an issue with my spring-core.jar.
I deleted the entire release directory located here. (I'm on win 10).
C:\Users********.m2\repository\org\springframework\spring-core\4.3.1.RELEASE
I right clicked on the project > Maven > Update project and my exclamation mark disappeared. No problems any more.
Here is the source where I found the information:
http://crunchify.com/cannot-be-read-or-is-not-a-valid-zip-file-how-to-fix-maven-build-path-error-with-corrupted-jar-file/
This happens when libraries added to the project doesn't have the correct path.
Right click on your project (from package explorer)
Got build path -> configure build path
Select the libraries tab
Fix the path error (give the correct path) by editing jars or classes at fault
This works for me: close the project then re-open it, this will force eclipse to reload a fresh project and detects the correct build path.
None of the other answers worked for me. Even after fixing my build path issues, doing a refresh, clean, rebuild, and restart (of both eclipse and the computer), I was still getting the little red exclamation point.
I fixed it by closing the project (right-click, close project) and reopening it (double-click the closed project), which seemed to force eclipse to "notice" that the build path problems had been corrected.
For my mac osx Eclipse, I followed following steps:
Right CLick on your project, Choose Build Path > Configure Build Path
Select Libraries Tab and delete any arbitrary library or anything else causing errors in Build Path.
Click on Add Library button, Select JRE System Library and click Next.
Choose last Radiobutton option Workspace default JRE and click Finish.
Clean and build your project.
get a cmd and run
mvn eclipse:eclipse
This is what worked for me:
Go to ~/.m2/repository and deleted everything there by running rm
-rf. Make sure everything is deleted.
Re-launch eclipse or STS
Right click on project -> Maven -> update project.
On my Mac this is what worked for me
Project > Clean (errors and warnings will remain or increase after this)
Close Eclipse
Reopen Eclipse (errors show momentarily and then disappear, warnings remain)
You are good to go and can now run your project
I've seen this problem a few times (got it again right now on my home computer with Eclipse 4.2).
Forcing a resave (by changing the classpath e.g. by adding a library, save, change-back) works temporarily. But the problem comes back when Eclipse is restarted :(
Nuking the Eclipse workspace from orbit will permanently fix it (until next time). But there must be a better way!
just check if any unnecessary Jars are added in your library or not. if yes, then simply remove that jars from your library and clean your project once. Its worked for me.
In Eclipse this worked for me: right click project. -> Properties -> Library Section; Add (any library at all) -> select library and click remove -> press okay.
I ran into this annoying issue with the Play framework. It would be nice if there was some way of knowing what build errors Eclipse is unhappy about, but it's not going to tell you. With one project, I was able to close the project, rebuild the Eclipse configuration with sbt eclipse, and reopen. With an almost identical project, that didn't work. But deleting the project, rebuilding the Eclipse configuration with sbt eclipse, and importing, did the trick.
If you think you've done everything correctly but Eclipse still complains about the jars, refresh the folder where the jars are and make sure eclipse knows they've been added to the project. Specifying the file path alone is (apparently) not enough
I've faced this issue a couple of times and following the below steps has resolved both the times.
1. Navigate to C:\Users\
2. locate the ".m2" folder and delete it.
Now navigate to the particular project in eclipse and Right-click on the project > Maven > Update Project
wait until the project is updated and in my case following the above steps resolved both the times.
I was getting an additional warning
The compiler compliance specified is 1.6 but a JRE 1.8 is used
Resolving this warning make the error also go away. The steps are as follows:
I right-clicked on it, then clicked on Quick Fix. From the dialog that opened I selected Open the Compiler Compliance property page, and clicked the Finish button.
(This is same as Java Compiler section.)
In this dialog I found the Compiler compliance level drop down and changed 1.6 to 1.8, and clicked on Apply and close.
I got a message box Compiler Settings Changed which asked if I wanted to Build the project now?. I clicked on Yes.
The build path error went away.
Go to > Right CLick on your project folder > Build Path > Configure Build Path > Libraries Tab > remove project and external dependencies > apply & close
Now, Gradle refresh your project.
Added below to pom.xml file and it worked eventually:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>4.0.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Goto to Project=>Build Automatically . Make sure it is ticked

Error while configuring local repository in Git in Eclipse

This may sound too amateur but as a whole i want to configure my Git repository and move my code from eclipse to Github.
So i checked out a couple of video tutorials and applied the steps but none of them seems to work in my case. This is what i did.
1) Right click on the project > Team > Share Project > Select Git > and then this window comes
now when i try to create my repository by clicking on create button> fill the parent directory and the name and click finish. Nothing really happens and i am redirected to the same previous window, without the repository column loaded.
Can anyone help me out of this.
First i thought it to be a Eclipse version issue, earlier i tried on Luna, also after installing Juno its the same issue.
Help me with this. Thanks in advance.

Showing JavaDoc/ScalaDoc for Maven/Sbt managed projects in IntelliJ IDEA

I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 13.1 Ultimate. For not Maven-managed or Sbt-managed Java/Scala projects, autopop documentation showed up fine. But for Maven/Sbt managed projects, JavaDoc/ScalaDoc does not show up. The dialog box will appear but there's nothing inside.
Make sure you have configured source path for JDK/SDK correctly (Project structure -> SDKs)
and Maven is configured to download sources/docs automatically (Maven -> Importing).
You can also check Settings -> Editor -> Show quick doc on mouse move setting.
