Can't start Spoon/PDI after installing my own plugin - java

I'm developing a new plugin/step for my pentaho PDI installation.
The thing is, that i can't start spoon if the step is in the plugin/steps folder, if i take it out, i can start it normally, so, it is deffinitelly a problem with my step, but can't see anything wrong with it, at least not just by reviewing the code...
I have made some others with no problem, but this one doesn't want to let my spoon installation run :/
Can someone give some kind of input? I know there is someone who had to do a plugin at least...

How do I turn my chess engine into an executable file

I have this chess engine i wrote in java. Thing is, I need to make a exe application that can take commands following a certain protocol (UCI). Ive had many problems trying to get this to work, but ill keep this brief and share the most important ones.
Other engines pop up cmd when you click on them, mine is just a basic java CLI (Dont know if this is a problem).
My anti virus keeps stopping me from opening the exe. Launch4j gives me a warning telling me I should sign it to prevent this sort of thing, but I dont know what that means.
So heres the deal, I know this post is word vomit, but Im truly at a loss right now. Id like general order advice on how I should approach the problem and maybe some advice on wether i should be using launch4j in the first place.
UPDATE: The reason i wanted to make an exe in the first place is because thats the format that was suggested in the lichess documentation (I wanted to upload my bot to lichess). I wrote a bat file that executes the jar file and it worked fine. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

saving a file from eclipse to submit for school-java

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to send my teacher my eclipse java files. every time i get them out of eclipse they turn into an compiled file and then when they go back into eclipse they look absolutely crazy. I'm sure their is an easy answer to why this is happening, but i can't figure it out for the life of me.
anyone experienced in eclipse that can help me out?
Thank you

Is it possible to install all Eclipse plugins?

Possible silly question alert.
Being a bit of a hoarder, when I noticed that you can check all available sources after downloading Eclipse and then download and install all of those plugins I was ecstatic! I don't have to do that all manually! Yet I've tried it twice and each time I try to install all of them I can't boot Eclipse back up (it just hangs on the splash screen with no loading messages). I've tried deleting my .metadata folder and running it via ./eclipse -clean but both haven't helped. Is it just not possible to run with every single plugin installed?
Thanks!
"Hoarding" can turn into a very bad habit.
Maybe this is your chance to learn to you should try to resist the impulse "add more, please".
Keep in mind that Eclipse is a TOOL to help you creating better software. It can't help you when you blow it up to a degree that it is just busy with managing all the things you added.
I would even suggest to act in an opposite way: ONLY use the plugins and features that help you to get your job done. But for those plugins - learn to USE all the functionality that they offer to you. So, if you want please the "inner hoarder" in you: tell him to hoard knowledge; not things. "Things" consume space, and finally "energy" - there are good reasons that the Chinese art of "Feng Shui" asks people to keep LESS items around.

What to do with java code when done

I have just completed my first java program. It's sitting in Eclipse pretty as a newborn (which really isn't all that pretty). Anyway, I need to have an icon on the desktop that allows users to click and run the code. I found an example of how to make a .jar from the project in Eclipse, but nothing happens when I click on it. There are a LOT of options in Eclipse so I'm guessing I need to select/deselect something, but the examples online are very few and far between. Since I'm sure I'm not the first person who has done this, I'm assuming I lack the vocabulary to find an answer. Could someone please give me a little direction to find help?
I have tried "compiling" but that's running the code. Anything with .java just tells me how to install Java. There have been too many searches to list them here. Suffice it to say I need a push in the right direction, please.
There isn't realy much to do wrong. Just go to Project -> export and select runnable jar file. Then you just have to pick the right launch configuration and click finish. There is a tutorial with picutres on wikiHow here.

SQL Developer 4.0 won't start on Mac OS Lion (Stock on Loading Screen)

I have been looking for a solution to this problem because I want to use this software in my mac but seems not to work any of the solutions I found..
of course installing the latest version of JAVA -> JDK 7
changing sqldeveloper-Darwin.conf and SetJavaHome /Library/java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_51.jdk/Contents/Home
same but changed to /Home/bin just to try diff solutions to the problem
I also changed the sqldeveloper.conf and put the SetJavaHome /Library/java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_51.jdk/Contents/Home there
try to run the sqldeveloper (/Applications/SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/Resources/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin) shell waiting to see if was going to prompt me or ask me for JDK or whatever a set it to /usr (but never happened)
going crazy now, so decide to make the post to see if someone can help or figure which step I am missing and maybe not seen the mistake..
This is where the program hangs...

I really hope, someone can help me, I really tired of booting on Windows to run SQL Developer plus I find it kinda dumb that Oracle don't encounter this kind of issue to make users experience more nice.. ;)
There is one solution. I have been using SQL Developer for some time now, and i am not happy about it (I am on a MAC btw), there are so many bugs and the intellisense sucks. It is a functional program nevertheless.
Download and use navicat instead. Or try to find another one instead. It might not be the solution you are looking for, but i will recommend it.
