Extras for Eclipse: Neon Update

On July 6, 2016, Posted by , In Eclipse, By ,,, , With Comments Off on Extras for Eclipse: Neon Update

A change in Eclipse Neon made it necessary to update Extras for Eclipse. Unfortunately, the Toggle Full Screen command uses the same key binding, Alt+F11, as the Launch Dialog (see this bug for the details).

Hence the key binding for the Launch Dialog had to be changed to Shift+F11. We are sorry for the disruption and hope you will soon become acquainted with the new key combination.

What Else Is New

A few enhancement have made it into Extras for Eclipse since I wrote about it the last time.

A little earlier, an option to terminate running processes before relaunching was added. This feature was designed with launching processes in mind that occupy a system-wide resource. For example, a process that listens on a particular port.

Extras for Eclipse Launch Dialog

If you check the Terminate before Relaunchoption from the dialog’s drop-down menu, all currently running processes of the launch configuration will be terminated before relaunching. This puts an end to Address already in use errors and the like.

For a complete list of changes please visit the news page.

Installation

Extras for Eclipse is available from the Eclipse Marketplace. If you want to give it a try, just drag the icon to your running Eclipse:

If you prefer, you can also install Extras for Eclipse directly from this software repository:
