I created a new project using the play console
now, by default I got in my views directory two files:
main.scala.html
index.scala.html
I want to add a new view file. I call it "forums.scala.html"
now, I know that in order to render a view you need to do this:
views.html.forums.render("Forums");
the problem is that the intellisense doesn't recognize "forums"
but index and main it does recognize.
I've noticed those files:
class_managed/views.html/index.class
class_managed/views.html/main.class
but there is no forums.class so I suspect this is the problem.
I tried to build the project, but it didn't help.
so, what is the solution?
thanks
Your new views are compiled to managed sources after next browser hit if you are using play run for starting Play in dev mode.
If you'll use play ~run it will try to compile it as soon at it will recognize change in the file.
Finally if you started your app in production mode ie. via play start you have to stop it with ctrl+c and run again. Anyway, developing application in production mode is just a bad idea :)
Depending on your IDE most probably you'll need to refresh file structure to allow it find freshly created managed sources.
right click on ther project and click refresh, that worked for me - found it in another thread.
Found the solution.
running "compile" command did the work.
I understood that intelliJ do it auto, so I will probably use it instead of eclipse.
cheers!
If you want to program in scala, my recommendation is to forget about intellisense. Eclipses scala-ide is quite buggy, dont know about netbeans. And because of nonstandard layout of play2 application, non std development tools (play console), it becames even more handy to use simple text redactor (like sublime or textmate) with good old open-folder-as-project feature.

I usually develop mobile apps for iOS and Android and I am used to launching projects repeatedly without asking if another instance is running or not, since the simulators will handle this for me.
When I use Eclipse to develop desktop apps, I face this problem since running multiple times the same project will result in multiple different instances. I would like Eclipse to be able to kill the previously-opened processes before running the new one. I've found this question, but this one addresses the problem to let a single instance of a Java application run, but this is not quite the point. I do not care if the final release will run one or two times, I just want to be able to run a single instance when developing, seamlessly like Xcode or Eclipse for Android do. Moreover, that solution will popup an alert when running the same project twice, but that's not a solution for me. Kill and run, that it.
Is it possible to change the run configuration of the project to achieve this without changing the source code, or is this achievable with a plugin or whatelse? I would like to find a completely automated solution that could make me work as if I were under Xcode.
No, it is not possible to change the Eclipse run configuration so that Eclipse stops existing instance before running new instance.
As an alternative, you might try setting a keyboard shortcut for "Terminate" action.
What is the short cut in eclipse to terminate debugging/running?
Is there a keyboard shortcut for stopping the current console in Eclipse?
As a general solution to this, try:
Goto Window->Preferences, search for Launching.
Select the "Terminate and Relaunch while launching" option.
Press Apply.
Not sure if it would work while developing Android (not very common in Eclipse now), but good option to know.
I'm developing using IntelliJ 11u on a spring mvc application using tomcat.
I tried the maven jetty plugin, but after a few builds I keep getting java permGen issues and then it just hangs. I was told this was because spring uses log4j and it has some sort of leaks?
Anyhow, I'm asking for tips to help fire up a server, tomcat, with my updated code so I can make quick updates and have tomcat reloaded.
Here are my current annoyances with tomcat:
Only code changes seem to get auto-reloaded, if I make changes to my view pages things don't get updated unless I redeploy. The maven jetty plugin seems to map to my view pages directly and I saw updates to my view pages instantly w/o it even redeploying.
if I have more than 1 thing running in intelliJ, like say I have a main program that I run, or a unit test, IntelliJ seems to re-order what gets run in the run drop down menu and also the shortcut keys get changed to the last thing I ran.
I use google chrome, for some reason when I start tomcat it brings firefox to the forefront and opens a new tab each and every time.
If someone can address any or all of the above issues that would be great as I hate this dance I have to go through just to update/redeploy my application. I wish it could just be a consitant method, using shortcuts or automatically without me having to close the tab created in firefox, and then minimizie it, or redploy for a simple view change etc.
You should configure IDEA to update classes and resources and enable a checkbox in the Run configuration to do it automatically on frame deactivation.
Browser can be changed in IDEA settings and you can disable opening browser at all in Tomcat Run/Debug configuration.
As for the Run panel tabs order, you can pin tabs using the tab right click menu, in this case they will remain in the Run or Debug panel in the order they were created.
Look at JRebel if you want an even more productive environment (It costs, but I find it is worth it). As you can see here, http://zeroturnaround.com/jrebel/features/, it increases the types of changes you can hot-swap (no waiting for a build). I am currently evaluating it myself and will probably pick up a full license.
BTW, if you develop in scala (it looks like you're not, but just in case) the plugin is free.
I want to create an eclipse RCP application for a custom language. A programs which is written using the cutom language should be run and show it's output when the user click on the Run button.
Is it possible to integrate eclipse Run menu in eclipse RCP application with it's default features as we create NEW menu item by using ActionFactory? If it is possible how to do that?
Thanks in advance.
If you "just" want the Run menu along with the default entries, just include a dependency to org.eclipse.debug.ui.
You will then need to add launch configuration types for your specific language using the various extension point from the plugins org.eclipse.debug.core and org.eclipse.debug.ui.
As always, when it comes to the more advanced functionality of Eclipse, the easiest way to get access to the functionality is via resources and examples. Although it is a bit dated, the article "We Have Lift-off" (http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Launch-Framework/launch.html) is the best starting point for this. Have a look at the various references to org.eclipse.debug.core.launchConfigurationTypes to find the best example to use asa starting point - in particular the ANT Build stuff as this is pretty simple...
In general you can find the plug-in that contributes a specific entry using the PDE Menu Spy (Alt-Shift-F2 on MacOS)...
Lately, I've been working on a project in NetBeans using the GUI editor that's built in. Before I noticed that it generated an XML ".form" file that didn't appear in the Project Explorer Pane which makes sense. Earlier I was working on the form in the "Design" tab when it notified me about 15 updates. I just updated without reading anything which was probably a bad idea but when I restarted the IDE, it showed my GUI ".class" file and ".form" file separately in the Project Explorer and I couldn't switch between "Source" and "Design". I also noticed that the generated code that was usually not editable was now editable.
P.S. I'm able to create a new frame just fine and the design editor still works with new frame
I have encounter the same problem and I have solved it.
The key in this problem, I think, is particular plugins for JFrame in Netbeans are not active after updating, so we only need to activate them. The easiest way to achieve this is create a new JFrame class, so in this progress, NetBeans can activate all relevant plugins for us. Finally, restart NetBeans, then everything would be fine.
Thank you very much for all of you that you give me some idea and clues in this situation:)
Work on a similar problem led me to this discussion concerning Guarded blocks inside form Java source file. I'm not sure it's related to your situation, but it may help you recover.
If you are trying to recover the lost state of the backing xml for the form I don't know what to tell you.
This has happened to me, but I tend to highly componentize the forms (break up the forms into little pieces), which makes this not such a big deal. Have you tried the NetBeans forums? You might get better luck there:
http://forums.netbeans.org/
Nevermind, simple solution.
I finally decided that, after plenty of tinkering, to restart the IDE which I should have though of first. The Java SE Plugin must have crashed or something, anyway it's fixed.
Thanks for the help!
Or just right click on the corresponding .form file and select open. The Design tab/editor reestablishes.
I've just started working with javafx, it seems cool and NetBeans seems much more fun than Eclipse but I find it impossible to debug my application. I've added breakpoints, and I pressed the debug button, I see the debugger is registered to some port but it doesn't cause the application to start.
When I run the application and attach a debugger nothing seems to happen. This is extremely annoying since I am using an external library I've added to my project, and I can't edit its content (since I am getting 'java file cannot be locked as it is read only').
I am very new to java and especially javafx, thank you for your help I sure need it:)
First off, I'd start with downloading the latest version of NetBeans (6.7.1 as of today). Second, NetBeans will let you put breakpoints in places that don't make sense for the language. You're best off putting breakpoints in a function like the run() function and stepping from there.
One more thing: make sure you have your JavaFX project set as the main project if you use that Debug button since I believe that it acts on your main project only.
