In the Debug Variables view their is a arrow button in the right of the view. the tooltip of this button is `Menu`.

When you click this button a drop down menu is shown where you can select

`Java` -&gt; `Show static variables`

Note: You do not have to restart Eclipse.

Simply put your mouse cursor over the static variable in the code and you will see the assigned value.

You can view static variable and also edit during runtime. Click on small arrow pointing downword. see below image

I have a python daemon running as a part of my web app/ How can I quickly check (using python) if my daemon is running and, if not, launch it?

I want to do it that way to fix any crashes of the daemon, and so the script does not have to be run manually, it will automatically run as soon as it is called and then stay running.

In the debug view, there&#39;s the Variables frame. It shows all the values of member variables of the current object, and all of the local variables, but it doesn&#39;t show any static variables of the object&#39;s class.

How do I get to these?

Some googling has suggested I press the button on the toolbar, but there&#39;s nothing on the Variables frame&#39;s toolbar except &quot;Show Type Names&quot; &quot;Logical Structure&quot; and &quot;Collapse All&quot; (Eclipse 3.4.2).

Any advice?

Eclipse currently shows the task tags (`// TODO`) from all open projects.  I would be grateful if anyone could point out the preference, where I could restrict the scope of tasks displayed (e.g. only tasks from current project).

I am using eclipse 3.4.1 Java EE under Vista. It seems to like getting stuck when building my workspace. Canceling the build doesn&#39;t seem to do anything as well.

I&#39;m attempting to compile **Java 1.4** code that was created by **IBM&#39;s** **WSDL2Java** on **Java5** without recreating the stubs and saw this error in **Eclipse**.  
I&#39;m under the assumption that the stubs generated should just compile as long as the runtime `jars` are available (they are).

`Access restriction: The type QName is not accessible due to restriction on required library C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_16\jre\lib\rt.jar`

The full class name is `javax.xml.namespace.QName`

I am developing on Eclipse on Windows and Code gets deployed on Unix. I am fetching the system property values using System.getProperty(&quot;key&quot;) ... How do I pass this in Eclipse so that I do not have to modify the code and it works on Eclipse for debugging?

How to pass the -D System properties while testing on Eclipse?

I&#39;ve recently had to switch encoding of webapp I&#39;m working on from `ISO-xx` to `utf8`. Everything went smooth, except properties files. I added `-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8` in `eclipse.ini` and normal files work fine. Properties however show some strange behaviour.

If I copy `utf8` encoded properties from Notepad++ and paste them in Eclipse, they show and work fine. When I reopen properties file, I see some Unicode characters instead of proper ones, like:

    Zur\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDck instead of Zur&#252;ck

but app still works fine.
If I start to edit properties, add some special characters and save, they display correctly, however they don&#39;t work and all previously working special characters don&#39;t work any more. 

When I compare local version with CVS I can see special characters correctly on remote file and after update I&#39;m at start again: app works, but Eclipse displays Unicode chars.

I tried changing file encoding by right clicking it and selecting „Other: UTF8” but it didn&#39;t help. It also said: „determined from content: ISO-8859-1”

I&#39;m using Java 6 and Jboss Developer based on Eclipse 3.3

I can live with it by editing properties in Notepad++ and pasting them in Eclipse, but I would be grateful if someone could help me with fixing this in Eclipse.

I cannot get rid of this in my VS 2008 web project when debugging.  I&#39;ve checked that it&#39;s in debug mode on the non-web project in question and it&#39;s in Active(Debug).  Deleted all items in my .NET 2.0 temp folder in Windows.  Not sure what else to do here.

Quite often I will try and run a PHP script and just get a blank screen back. No error message; just an empty screen. The cause might have been a simple syntax error (wrong bracket, missing semicolon), or a failed function call, or something else entirely.

It is very difficult to figure out what went wrong. I end up commenting out code, entering &quot;echo&quot; statements everywhere, etc. trying to narrow down the problem. But there surely must be a better way, right?

Is there a way to get PHP to produce a useful error message, like Java does?

I&#39;ve seen in a few iPhone examples that attributes have used an underscore _ in front of the variable. Does anyone know what this means? Or how it works?

An interface file I&#39;m using looks like:

    @interface MissionCell : UITableViewCell {
        Mission *_mission;
        UILabel *_missionName;
    }

    @property (nonatomic, retain) UILabel *missionName;

    - (Mission *)mission;


I&#39;m not sure exactly what the above does but when I try to set the mission name like:

    aMission.missionName = missionName;

I get the error:

&gt; request for member &#39;missionName&#39; in something not a structure or union

How to check a not-defined variable in JavaScript

It seems pretty simple but I can&#39;t find a good way to do it.

Say in the first page I create a variable

    $myVariable = &quot;Some text&quot;;

And the form&#39;s action for that page is &quot;Page2.php&quot;. So in Page2.php, how can I have access to that variable? I know I can do it with sessions but I think it&#39;s too much for a simple string, and I do only need to pass a simple string (a file name).

How can I achieve this?

Thanks!

I have the following two buttons in XAML:

    &lt;Button Content=&quot;Previous&quot;
            Margin=&quot;10,0,0,10&quot;/&gt;

**PSEUDO CODE:**

    &lt;variable x:key=&quot;theMargin&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;Button Content=&quot;Previous&quot;
            Margin=&quot;{Variable theMargin},0,0,{Variable theMargin}&quot;/&gt;

I have some code where I use a thread static object in C#.

    private DataContext connection 

I was wondering, in this case, what if any change would I get if I put the static modifier on the thread static context?

With the first would there be one copy of the context per instance per thread, with the other only one copy per thread?

I&#39;m using a static code block to initialize some controllers in a registry I have. My question is therefore, can I guarantee that this static code block will only absolutely be called once when the class is first loaded? I understand I cannot guarantee when this code block will be called, I&#39;m guessing its when the Classloader first loads it. I realize I could synchronize on the class in the static code block, but my guess is this is actually what happens anyway? 

Simple code example would be;

    class FooRegistry {

        static {
            //this code must only ever be called once 
            addController(new FooControllerImpl());
        }

        private static void addController(IFooController controller) { 
            // ...
        }
    }

or should I do this;

    class FooRegistry {

        static {
            synchronized(FooRegistry.class) {
                addController(new FooControllerImpl());
            }
        }

        private static void addController(IFooController controller) {
            // ...
        }
    }




Are Java static initializers thread safe?

Referring to the [first answer][1] about python&#39;s bound and unbound methods here, I have a question:

    class Test:
        def method_one(self):
            print &quot;Called method_one&quot;
        @staticmethod
        def method_two():
            print &quot;Called method_two&quot;
        @staticmethod
        def method_three():
            Test.method_two()
    class T2(Test):
        @staticmethod
        def method_two():
            print &quot;T2&quot;
    a_test = Test()
    a_test.method_one()
    a_test.method_two()
    a_test.method_three()
    b_test = T2()
    b_test.method_three()

produces output:

    Called method_one
    Called method_two
    Called method_two
    Called method_two

Is there a way to override a static method in python?

I expected `b_test.method_three()` to print &quot;T2&quot;, but it doesn&#39;t (prints &quot;Called method_two&quot; instead).

Overriding a static method in python

I have a question regarding static function in php.

let&#39;s assume that I have a class

    class test {
        public function sayHi() {
            echo &#39;hi&#39;;
        }
    }

if I do `test::sayHi();` it works without a problem.

    class test {
        public static function sayHi() {
            echo &#39;hi&#39;;
        }
    }

`test::sayHi();` works as well.

What are the differences between first class and second class?

What is special about a static function?

php static function

How can one get the name of the class from a static method in that class. For example

    public class MyClass {
        public static String getClassName() {
            String name = ????; // what goes here so the string &quot;MyClass&quot; is returned
            return name;
        }
    }

To put it in context, I actually want to return the class name as part of a message in an exception.
