Installing Java 13 and Eclipse (2019_12_R)
Miscellaneous
Uninstalling
If you need to uninstall/remove Eclipse, just delete the program/folder
associated with Eclipse. There is no uninstall option
that you need to access.
Installing Software Using Eclipse Marketplace
You can install plugins by accessing the Eclipse Marketplace under
the Help menu. Once in Marketplace, type the name of a plugin (e.g., ArbitraryLines)
and select the "Go" button. You will see a list of possible plugins. Selecting
"Install" will complete the installation process.
Adding 80-Characters Mark
- Alternative #1
- Make sure you are in the Java perspective.
- Select Window(in a PC) and Eclipse(in a Mac), followed by
Preferences→General→Editors→Text Editors
-
Select the checkbox "Show print margin".
-
Type the number 80 into the box next to "Print margin column:".
- Alternative #2 - You can use the
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/arbitrarylines
plugin. The easiest installation approach is to use Eclipse's Marketplace as described above. After
installing the plugin, you can add the 80-character mark by selecting Window (in a PC)
and Eclipse (in a Mac), followed by Preferences→General→Editors→Text Editors→ArbitraryLines.
You will see the "Enable ArbitraryLines" option at the top.
Bug -
There seems to be a bug in Eclipse where the mark is not set at the 80-character column. If you
experience this problem, try changing the editor text font. To change the Eclipse editor text font:
- Select Window (in a PC) and Eclipse (in a Mac), followed by
Preferences→General→Editors→Text Editors.
- Select 'Colors and Fonts' in "See 'Colors and Fonts' to configure the font.
- Expand the "Basic" option by clicking on >.
- Select the " Aa Text Font " option.
- Change the font size to "11" (you will be using the font "Consolas", "Regular", "11").
