An ugly bug made me dive into the original Mousefeed sources. However, Andriy Palamarchuk, who is the original author, didn’t respond to my mails nor did I get any response to my tweet asking for people that know him personally. In order to provide this patch and a new feature to the community I saw no other way but to fork the Mousefeed sources from branch 1.0.0. Well, here it is: Mousefeed 1.1.0! . . . → Read More: Announcing: Mousefeed Plug-in 1.1.0 (Fork) 
For most of the types in the Variables view you can see a reasonable toString() output below the variables list. However, many types don’t have a type specific implementation of toString(). That’s why the variables view prints you some meaningless default text with a hashcode for such variables.

This time I’ll show another barely documented feature of Eclipse’ Command Core framework: Having commands update their labels based on a selection or whatever else. I believe, not knowing how this is done using declarations in plugin.xml files still causes many developers to hard code actions in their classes instead of using commands and handlers. . . . → Read More: Eclipse Tips & Tricks: Label-Updating Command Handler 
Recently I was challenged getting declared commands enabled in an RCP application using own property testers. It seems the documentation of Eclipse’s Command Core Expressions framework is missing an important link that I’m gonna point out here. RCP Application Plug-in For this example create a new Plug-in project called de.rowlo.rcp.cce.app. Make sure to create a . . . → Read More: Eclipse Tips & Tricks: Property Testers with Command Core Expressions 
Perspectives in Eclipse are really nice to provide you only the tools you need for certain tasks. Still, not too long ago I concluded that my toolbar is way to stuffed with icons I never use. So I started to clean it up by customizing my perspective. While doing that I discovered the “Toggle Block . . . → Read More: Eclipse Tips & Tricks: Block Selection Mode
