Eclipse nightmare: Trying to use Build Path without muddling up the project

I'm working on a team project for the first time ever, which is a little scary. We are using Subclipse. As soon as I downloaded the project, I noticed that I don't get any error warnings. Soon after, I noticed that Ctrl H fails to search the project.
I thought this was all Subclipse's fault, and tried a clumsy workaround by copying the project. I had noticed that the package icon doesn't appear for the folders holding the source files and realized this is the problem. I guess Eclipse doesn't know which files are the source files. I would have thought it could tell because they end in .java, but that shows how little I know.
After wrestling with this for hours, I figured out that I could use Build Path -> Use as source folder. For a split second, I thought I had finally solved the problem. But then all of a sudden tons of error messages showed up in every file. It turns out that when you use Build path -> Use as source folder, it moves your source folder and changes the names of the subfolders. So how on earth do I just tell Eclipse where my source files are without it moving everything around and screwing up the whole project?
Please, somebody tell me what is going on before I pull all of my hair completely out.

Can you tell us more about your project folder structure (as it exists in SVN)?
Generally speaking, here's what I would do when start a new Eclipse project from SVN using Subclipse:
1) Delete your current project and start clean.
2) Open the SVN Repositories view in Eclipse
3) Right-click the folder you are checking out as your project (for example, if your project is called ProjectFoobar and contains a trunk, right-click the trunk folder... don't check out all of the branches--use svn switch instead) and do a Checkout.
4) Select 'Check out as a project in the workspace
5) Give it a project name.
6) 'Check out HEAD revision' (presumably)
7) Depth: fully recursive
8) Next
9) Workspace location: make sure this the workspace you intend to create the project in
8) Finish
Hope that helps.

  • Sql for extract file path without file_name form the folumn value

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forum!
    INSTR and SUBSTR is probably the most efficient way. Use INSTR to find where the last '/' is, and SUBSTR to get that many characters, starting from the beginning of the string.
    INSTR and SUBSTR (and REGEXP_SUBSTR, and REGEXP_REPLACE, and RTRIM, and REPLACE, and all the other bullt-in functions) are documented in the SQL language manual:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/index.htm
    REGEXP_SUBSTR or REGEXP_REPLACE would also do the job, perhaps with a little less code, but maybe not as efficiently.
    Here's a more creative way:
    SELECT     RTRIM ( str
               , REPLACE (str, '/')
               )          AS file_path
    FROM     table_x
    ;What results do you want if str does not contain a '/'?

  • I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells, find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96

    I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells in a column,  find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96  I used to use Excel and the formula worked fine in that. Here is my Formula
    =(average(small(H201:H220,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
    This formula worked in Excel and when I converted my spreadsheet over to Numbers, this formula no longer works.
    The best that I have been able to do so far is use small in 10 different cells, then get the average of the 10 cells and finally multiply that average by .96  So instead of using 1 cell, I'm using 12 cells to get my answer.
    This is a formula that I will be using all the time. The next cell would be =(average(small(H202:H221,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
    Hoping I explain myself well enough and that someone can help me.
    Thanks

    You can still do it in one cell but it will be more unruly than the Excel array formula.
    =average(small(H201:H220,1),small(H201:H220,2),small(H201:H220,3),...,small(H201:H220,10))*0.96
    where you would, of course, replace the "..." with the remaining six SMALL functions.

    How can I do this update or fix this problem please?
    Thank you,

    Do this:

    You may have to compile ruby...(/usr/local/bin/*) like I did. This worked for me.
    If you already did this, everything will be groovy. Then if you are having trouble with mysql see this: http://hivelogic.com/articles/compiling-mysql-on-snow-leopard/

    I updated a working Podcast Server recently and now it doesn't work.
    I'm getting:
    Ruby threads cannot be used in RubyCocoa without patches to the Ruby interpreter
    Any thoughts on how to fix it.

    You can safely ignore the "Ruby threads cannot be used in RubyCocoa without patches to the Ruby interpreter" message, it has nothing to do with the problems you are having.
    Can you give us more details? Can you not start recordings, are recordings not beings processed, etc?

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

    iOS 4.3.3 doesnt have the "Update your Software" tab so you will need to go to itunes and back up your iphone then restore your iphone and it will download the latest iphone software (6.1.4) if you dont want 6.1.4 download your current version and hit shift on your keyboard (alt if your on Mac I think) and click restore iphone and find your downloaded software 4.3.3 then download iOS 5 or 6 and do the samething after your phone boots up from restoring it to 4.3.3.

  • How can I convert MiniDV tapes to DVD? I've use a Canon GL 2 and an iMac about 1 year old. I'm trying to use iMovie and I've installed the latest drivers.

    How can I convert MiniDV tapes to DVD? I've use a Canon GL 2 and an iMac about 1 year old. I'm trying to use iMovie and I've installed the latest drivers.

    MiniDV was a great format, one I still use often. I also still use iMovie HD6 to process it and, for all the iterations of iMovie that followed it, I still believe it was one of Apple's greatest movie software programmes, next to Final Cut Pro, using a timeline method of editing. That was also in the day which Apple put Superdrives into their computers, so that you could not only make your movie in iMovie, but you could render it to iDVD and then burn the DVD. Now you need to buy an external burner.
    Since iMovie HD6 and iDVD 6 were "universal" software, it has continued to work through the many OS releases since it came out with Tiger, I believe it was. So, it may still work with Mavericks too and, if you could locate a copy of iLife 06, probably used, you might enjoy the difference that HD6 has over all iMovie releases since then.
    Not saying you can't process your MiniDV with current iMovie versions, but I'm not the one to speak about that.

  • I am trying to use airplay from my iMac but the airplay symbol has disappeared?

    I am trying to use airplay from my iMac but the airplay symbol has disappeared. It works perfectly well from my iPhone and iPad and tt did work for a while from the iMac allowing me to select multiple speakers including Apple TV and my two panasonic stereo systems which are airplay compatible, but now only works from iPhone/iPad. Any guidance would be appreciated.

    I as having a similar problem with the iOS remote application.  I was trying to stream my iMac's media to my Apple TV, but the iMac would not show up as a choice.  This was particularly frustrating because I have updated in the last to weeks to 1.) The Yosemite Beta on my iMac, 2.) New sotware on my ATV, and 3.) iOS8 on my phone.  It was impossible to ascertain which of those three updates was the culprit.  So after much troubleshooting (and much swearing), the following seemed to work:
    One-by-one, disengage home sharing on all three devices and then re-engage. Pretty simple.  Let us know if it works for you!

  • Automatically save using build path

    Hey everyone.
    I bet there is an easy solution to my problem. But for the life of me I cannot find it.
    I have this VI that measures pressure. It works brilliantly but I when I want to save the data the VI produces I have specify a file name using a string control, if I don't it prompts me to write it. This wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that it has to log data quite often and I can't always stay around the computer when its running. I therefore wrote some code that automatically creates a unique string (not shown in the picture) but when I attach that string to build path string terminal I prompt me to write a file name instead. 
    In short: I want my VI to automatically create a file with unique filename (e.g.. "Timestamp_Operator_type_of_measurement_measurement_number") 
    Any thoughts, I've tried altering the options for the path control but it doesn't seem to work.
    Thank you in advance

    Hey BillMe
    When im probing the path that im inputting is "C:\users\RI-DEMS\Data" which is what i want.
    The file name input probe says "26-11-2012 11:14 63.txt" which is a timestamp and the measurement number. 
    But the output of Build path remains "not a path" why is that?
    And of course you're right. I should put the path outside the loop. 
    Hope this helps in determingen the problem.
