From “Stop in main” to launch groups that chain tests: #EclipseIDE has grown a full ecosystem of debug options. @manojnp documents how devs actually use them today.

❓️ Question to the Eclipse experts:

Is there a (somewhat) simple way to change the syntax coloring of only one specific keyword?

(In my case, I am using Eclipse CDT, and I want to change the color of only one C preprocessor directive)

#Eclipse #EclipseCDT #C #Programming #IDE #EclipseIDE

A helpful #NullPointerException, a trigger point & a working set—three features that can turn a week-long bug hunt into a half-hour fix. @manojnp shows how #EclipseIDE uses them in real-world #Debugging.

Can Skia and modern SWT make #EclipseIDE relevant again? A bold bet on speed, simplicity and open collaboration.

Who do I need to pay to get the eclipse IDE m2e POM editor to follow the formatting rules of the XML file editor?

And no, I don't want to open the pom.xml in the XML file editor, and I don't want to use IntelliJ either.
