Code Editor Information

Is there any way in the DW code editor to get it to display
the current column number as we type?
Also can the editor display a right margin?
Thank you for your help.

No, and no (at least as far as I know). Those are good
suggestions, though.
Please let the team know -

Code Editor, Invisible Cursor

I'm using JDeveloper9i (902) and the code editor cursor keeps disappearing. It's still there, you can edit code, you just can't see it. If you close the editor window and open it again the cursor is displayed. Is this a known bug? Is it fixed in 903?
Thanks for your help,
Ian

Hi Mark, Ian,
It turns out that this is a Swing bug - see Sun bugs #4519058 and 4672816. When you minimize a Java app, it receives a focusLost( temporary ) event. The bug is that when you restore the Java app, it does not receive a focusGained() event. This occurs in JDK 1.3.1_01 through JDK 1.3.1_03, and does not reproduce in JDK 1.4. From the bug text, it seems that Sun does not intend to fix this in JDK 1.3 unless it is escalated.
This reproduces when you minimize a Java app using the task bar, or the minimize icon in the app's title bar. Incidentally, you can see the bug with JDeveloper's system navigator also - the system navigator uses a darken selection color in the tree when it has focus, and a lighter selection color when it does not have focus. When you follow the reproduce steps you indicated with the navigator, the navigator stays with the lighter selection color when JDeveloper is restored.
As I mentioned, currently JDeveloper itself runs under JDK 1.3.1 - we are trying to move to running under JDK 1.4 in the 9.0.4 timeframe, but are working through some painting irregularities currently. I've filed Oracle bug #2562479 with the information from this thread for tracking purposes. I'm still looking into a workaround for this, but I'm not sure at this point whether it is possible without a lot of overhead.

File not visible in Layout Editor, but okay in Source Code Editor & Preview

I just finished editing this page, and uploaded. It is visible on www, but when I go to edit it in Layout Editor, the cursor is blinking on a white background. Nothing appears to be there. However if I change to Source Code Editor or Preview, all my data is there. Here is the link to it - www.engraversnetwork.com/uls_lasers.html.

Wow! I figured it out. I was cleaning up my meta tags and left the ">" bracket off of the end of the line. Maybe that will help someone later on

How to add a font for use by the code editor

Version 3.0.04 windows
found Preferences -> Code Editor -> Fonts
Did not see the font I would like to use in the list. The font is terminal. The font can be displayed in Control Panel -> fonts in windows.
In the help I found Edit Font Location but could not find the dialog box described in the help
Is there a procedure to add the font so SQL Dev can use it?
Thanks

Hi Dag,
Apparently editing Font Location in 3.0 applies only to ...
Tools | Preferences | Database | Export/View DDL Options | PDF Format

How to change background color in code editor?

Hi. Some of the pre-selectable Schemes under Tools->Preferences->Code Editor->PL/SQL Syntax Color (e. g. Ocean) have a "global" default background color that applies to all styles. How can I edit this color for my own color scheme?
(SQL Developer version 3.1.07)

Jeff,
if you try to change all the plsql keywords to the same background color (that is not either white or black or blue) via the options panel in SQL Developer (Code Editor > PLSQL syntax colors), you will get the new background color in the worksheet only for the areas with plsql text, while the areas without any text will have the same background color as the base color scheme you started with. This means that there is no way to change the "general background" color via the options panel, but you have to use the same background color of one of the predefined color schemes.
This seems to me a bug, but probably it's not considered high priority, so it will not be fixed for the time being.
I would like to stress the fact that being able to change the color scheme of the development environment that you use every day about 8 hours a day can make quite a difference on your eyes at the end of the day.
Thanks,
Paolo

Is there a way to restrict the cursor at the end of a line in the source code editor??

In the source code editor, the cursor will always follow where I click. But I wanna restrict it at the end of a line, just like other text editors do. Is there a option or sth? I can't put up with it any longer.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello morphe!
The source editor in the LabWindows/CVI environment is constructed under the concept of virtual space.
At the moment, in the current version of LabWindows/CVI, this is the default behavior, which cannot be changed from the editor preferences dialogs.

EA1 - Right gutter scroll bar in the Code Editor doesn't work?

SQL Developer version 4.0.0.12, Windows XP
I'm opening package body in Code Editor. In previous version of SQL Dev after pressing CTRL and moving mouse over the right gutter I could see a few lines of the code from mouse pointed position in the source.
Now it doesn't work.
Link below - section "Working in the Procedure Editor":
http://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2012/01/viewing-plsql-compilation-errors-in-oracle-sql-developer/

Hi,
It is true the right gutter's general scrolling window view capability no longer exists in 4.0. However, if code errors exist, then small blue squares (uncompiled code) or slightly larger red rectangles (compiled code) appear in the gutter representing the relative positions of the bad code. Hovering the mouse over those produces a pop-up display of the offending code and, in fact, the pop-up will not display if the Ctrl key is pressed at the same time. Of course, clicking on the rectangles or squares moves the editor's current line to that code as in earlier releases.
So it is not clear whether this is merely the new, intended behavior, or if more of the prior behavior remains to be implemented in 4.0. As far as I can tell, nothing important has been lost here, but that is just my opinion.
Regards,
Gary

BUG: EA 2.1 code editor: completion insight doesn't work in opened files

I just migrated from SQLDEV 1.5.5 to EA 2.1. It's nice that I colud find so many of my suggestions implemented in this new version. THANKX :-)
code editor:
When I'm working in SQL Worksheet the "completion insight" feature is working well, but when I try to use it in an opened file, it doesn't work.
Is there a special preference to turn on for use with files?
Edited by: @chris on 12.11.2009 10:57

Correct it did work in 1.5. on .sql files, when connected, so I have updated the ER to bug. We also need to expand this to support PL/SQL files.

Preferences: Code Editor: Printing: Add File Path and Date to Print Header?

Is there a way to add file full path and date to the print file header for a SQL Worksheet when printing from the Code Editor? So, for example, if my SQL worksheet is called MySQL.sql and is saved to C:\Myfiles\SQL_Code\, I'd like to print the full path 'C:\Myfiles\SQL_Code\MySQL.sql' and today's date as part of the print header along with the page numbers at the top of the code. I see a Java preview in the Preferences: Code Editor: Printing window that mentions a "Today" date but I don't know Java and that is an uneditable preview. I have checked the "Print File Header" check box. Is the file header definition stored somewhere in a configuration file and/or is there a way to modify/customize the default file header?
I am a new user to SQL Nav. version 3.2.20.09 Build-MAIN 09.87. I could do this in SQL Navigator but can't figure it out in SQLDeveloper. Thank you.

HI
First of all,
Unless otherwise you selected some option like page break after/before - both body and header/footer will print on same page in report, so in pdf as well.
If you have difference on report and PDF that you should look into your setup.
If you want more help, please be particular on your issue

Help selecting non-continuous text in code editor, please?

I'm editing a list... I want to make a lot of selections at once and edit them at the same time. You know how you can go through files in windows and ctrl+click/select files to move around? I could do this in Notepad++ so I guess I could switch back and forth but that would be a big pain. Any ideas?

Depending on what the edit is, you could use the Find & Replace (CRTL+F) to just click your way through the list items. If the list is all different items, you'll probably have to do it in a word processor. I don't know any way to do it in the code editor.

Java code editor bug

JDev Team
The code editor highlights the string inside split() in red. The message displayed is " String literal contains illegal escape character '.' "
String prodID = "10.5.1";
String[] prodLevelId = prodID.split("\\.");
Thanks

balar1,
Thanks for the feedback. I checked your testcase in more current builds and the error is no longer present, so this issue is isolated to the preview. Thanks again for making us aware of this problem.

Few featues in JDev 10.1.3 code editor

Few code editor feautes I would like to see in JDev 10.1.3
Reference : http://help.eclipse.org/help30/topic/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/whatsNew/jdt_whatsnew.html
1) a method parameter, to assign it to a new field
2) a method declaration. to create the method in a supertype
3) highlight source code according to its semantics (for example: static fields, local variables, static method invocations
4) Highlight method exit points (really helps)
5) Mark locations of thrown exceptions (Easy look up of exceptions)
6) Parameter mismatches in constructors or methods
ex: Quick fixes offerd to cast, swap, add, or remove arguments or method parameters.

BUG: JDeveloper code editor shows valid static import call as error

I've noticed what appears to be a bug in the JDeveloper code validator when dealing with static imports.
The following classes demonstrate the problem:
package test;
public class Parent {
public static void parentMethod() {
    System.out.println("called parentMethod.");
package test;
public class Child extends Parent {
public static void childMethod() {
    System.out.println("called childMethod.");
package test;
import static test.Child.*;
public class StaticInheritanceTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Child.childMethod();
    Child.parentMethod();
    childMethod();
    parentMethod(); //<-- this line is highlighted as an error
}Notice how on lines 7 and 8 of StaticInheritanceTest, the code validator does recognise that both parentMethod and childMethod are static methods of the Child class.
Since 'Child' has been statically imported, then parentMethod should be available. Although parentMethod is presented as an 'auto-suggest' at line 11 in StaticInheritanceTest, when you try to call it the code editor shows the call as an error and the Ctrl-Click (to drill down into the method) doesn't work.
When I run the class, it compiles successfully and runs with the following output:
called childMethod.
called parentMethod.
called childMethod.
called parentMethod.This might seem like an obscure and theoretical problem, but I've hit this whilst using Mockito, which uses exactly this kind of inherited static method to provide matchers.

Hi,
thanks. Will file a bug. This seems to be a designtime only issue that does not present a show stopper.

SQL Developer 3.0.03 Code Editor Save Actions missing from menu

I had just gotten a new notebook and installed latest version of Oracle SQL Developer 3.0.03. Seems Auto Save settings are enabled by default. I am prompted each time I switch off from SQL Dev to another app or window to Save the SQL code I am testing. I don't want to necessarily save it each time so I have to save or cancel each time I switch windows. I checked the documentation Help menu and it directed me to the Code Editor section > Save Actions menu to adjust settings. This category does not exist (or is not visible for me) to check settings and make changes. I am Admin on machine and installer of the app so not sure if it is some security setting I am not aware of. Or is this the wrong Help documentation for this version?
This version is much different from older version I was using. Any thougts on this before I remove and re-install an older version?
Thanks,
Joe

many thanks for your reply jim. i see the settings for 'prompt for save file on close'. this is checked by default and that is fine. if i have a sql worksheet open, as soon as i switch to another window (i.e. visual studio app), i get prompted to save the file. that is the strange behavior i've been seeing with this version.
i will try to update to 3.0.04 and see if that resolves. i appreciate your help.

Customizing Code Templates for the Code Editor

Our customer wants to have a standerd code edit environment for developers using Jdveloper. Therefore, there is a need to customize the Code Template for the Code Editor. The question is once after it is customized, whether it is possible to export the template to the Jdveloper setup for all the developers, and if yes, then how to? Thanks!

Just distribute the java.tpl file from the <jdev_install>\jdev\system9.0.x.x directory. That should do the trick.
