I'm trying to make use of Eclipse to be my primary tool for making websites, but I'm looking for a functionality that exists in Dreamweaver - html attributes sugestions. Is there any plugin that would enable that?
I'm already using HTML Tidy for checking the syntax. (I was going to use it to format, but I cannot get used to code being so tighthly formatted.)
Take a look at Aptana Studio
There are few versions (2nd, 3rd, 2nd for Ruby support); the 3rd one is still beta. It can be used as it is, or can be installed as plugin for your Eclipse.
IMHO this is the best plugin if you need to use HTML/CSS/JavaScript and do it in Eclipse IDE (the reason does not matter :)
UPDATE: just forgot to mention that it has built-in support for popular JS frameworks (like YUI, jQuery, etc.).

I want to make a single page application using vue.js. I get a reference like this https://coreui.io/vue/ to make it. my colleague has made a prototype using adobe xd. and my job is to convert it to html css and it will make it functional and connect to api. Can I convert it automatically? or do I have to convert it manually. if it's not possible to convert it automatically, is there a template that can help me to convert to html css? i am weak in css. so i need a reference. so I can convert quickly
please help me several options. thanks
I think you would have to convert manually
However, the export to HTML/CSS/JS feature has been asked before by the community many times and the Adobe team is currently working on it (check this and this).
Also I think you can also use a plugin called "Web Export."
In order to use the plugin,
Make sure you have the latest version of XD
Go to Plugins
Discover Plugins
Search "Web Export"
Click "Install"
The most straight forward option is to write the html/css by hand and then manually integrate it with vue components.
But since you said you are not that proficient at css, you can use Desech Studio to import the AdobeXD file, then make some adjustments, install the vue plugin in Desech Studio and then it will integrate your html/css code with vue directly.
Check the github repo at https://github.com/desech/studio-vue to see tips and the limitations of the plugin.
I have started on a web app for the ORG i work for, using notepad++ for html and css and of course php and javascript. I must say that the ORG did not used to have software developers, all software they have is off-the-shelf or oracle forms and am a recent grad.
We got a new hire he has much more experience "he claims", the thing is that he has been criticizing me for using notepad++ for html, he instead suggests using ASP.NET in VS. His argument comes from security risks and better support point of view.
The web app will consist of a website for the visitors to browse, in addition to an intranet for employees to use onsite and globally.
So i am not sure if i am on the right track and he is showing off, or i should be following his advice "he could be our new IT manager".
I thank you very much in advance.
The editor you are using has literally nothing to do with the security of the programmed application. Notepad++ is perfectly fine, even though i would recommend something like Atom, Visual Studio Code or Sublime.
One thing they have as a "security advantage" over Notepad++ is, that it is easier to install plugins that try to check your code and point out possible bugs. Otherwise blaming the Editor for Security issues is nonsense.
I have no experience with ASP.NET, i tried it a few times but never liked it. I think it comes with some authentication solutions out of the box.
HTML and CSS have very little to do with security. JavaScript and especially PHP is what you have to be careful with. I would recommend to use some kind of PHP framework as there are often well tested authentication components included. Frameworks I know of are Symfony and Laravel (which is built on Symfony).
I just discovered the beautiful Haml and Sass, and want to develop in these languages but with live previews. Coda and Espresso both allow for beautiful live previews of HTML files, but previews of an Haml file simply show it as plain text.
While there exist sugars for Espresso that add syntax highlighting, which is nice, I would like something that automatically compiles Haml files to HTML, and then lets me preview that instead of Haml.
Does anything like this exist for either Coda, or Espresso, or for any other web development tool out there?
(If it makes a difference, I'm not developing for Ruby on Rails, I'm making a static website, so the Ruby on Rails plugin shouldn't help AFAIK.
Software I tried out were StaticMatic and Middleman. StaticMatic's development seems discontinued, and for some reason MiddleMan refuses to work after creating my initial directory structure. Maybe I'm using it wrong.)
I don't use Espresso, so no comment there. However, Coda does not provide any support for Haml or Sass that I can find. I've been closely following the Coda forums, as I am a paid user, and it looks as though a 2.0 version is forthcoming. Who knows, perhaps that'll be included.
For now, since you're not using Ruby on Rails, I might suggest TextMate. It doesn't do Haml or Sass "right out of the box", but it can be configured to do so using "Bundles."
Installing HAML bundle for TextMate is a primer on how to setup TextMate for Haml/Sass, and I suspect there are others.
That said, for roughly the cost of TextMate you can purchase RubyMine ($69), which does both Haml (via RubyGem) and Sass (via Plugin), and can also handle running Sass --watch internally. I know you're not using Ruby, so maybe the idea of using a tool made primarily for Ruby doesn't appeal, but it does work in both the Haml and Sass environments very nicely.
The third option would be BBEdit, which can also handle both Haml and Sass. Some information on the plugin for BBEdit is in BBEdit-Codeless-Language-Module-for-HAML-SASS.
I hope this helps.
P.S.: I'm a paid user on all the platforms I mentioned. While I use RubyMine as my primary tool, I find that TextMate still gets a lot of use when I'm programming and need a quick, friendly window to examine code in. I used to use BBEdit when I needed to do complex regular expression-style search and replacements, but then I discovered how to do the same thing in TextMate, so BBEdit is sort of collecting dust. Coda? It looks pretty, but doesn't get the job done so much any more (though Panic's Transmit is still very much a core application).
There are two plugins for Coda 2 that I am aware of:
Coda-Sass-Plug-in is available from GitHub and allows you to save out your scss files to css. I worked for me though I wasn't completely happy with needing to refresh multiple tabs all the time.
LessCSS is available from incident57 dot com. Although I was never able to make it work, it lead me to CodeKit (CodeKit has been mothballed due to production of CodeKit).
CodeKit has the ability to watch folders and generate css files from sass or less when they are saved. It also has the ability to handle Stylus, Haml, Javascript, CoffeeScript, Jade, Slim and Kit.
OK, for anyone else looking for an answer to this, I decided to go along with a different solution. I'm using my normal editors, along with 'serve', a Ruby gem that runs a web server using WEBrick, and automatically compiles any files which it detects has changed. This includes HAML, Sass, Slim, Markdown, etc. files. I'm going to be using either Coda's live preview, or the minimalist browser called Playground, which eliminates the need to press refresh when the local file it is displaying changes.
This workflow is nice for now, although it doesn't have any built-in method to build the entire site into a static site when I'm done and want to deploy. This is a feature in middleman, but middleman still refuses to run because a dependency of it, thin, refuses to work on 64 bits. I might have to manually compile all the files using the terminal command, and hope the Haml interpreter can handle combining template files with each file, which I seriously doubt at this stage. This limitation and thus the continued dependence on 'serve' might force me to consider one of the other applications out there, listed on the page Haml Sucks for Content.
I need to write a browser plugin to communicate with another process, and it seems I have to use NPAPI plugins. Is there any example or open source NPAPI plugin I can refer to?
Many thanks for your reply.

2 and 3 are both frameworks to make plugin development easier.
I found one example at
http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/modules/plugin/samples/
you could also use the open source FireBreath plugin framework; they are nearing a 1.0 release for windows only, but it would not be hard to port it to linux; mac os shouldn't be bad either, but it will take a little work to get CMake to generate the correct bundle type =]
Yes, I am one of the primary maintainers, so I'm a bit biased. You can also find some good general information on how NPAPI works on my blog, starting here:

I need to write on-line help (Eclipse help format) for an Eclipse plugin. I tried out the evaluation of Help Composer that comes as part of RCP Developer from Instantiations and it pretty much does what I am looking for. However at $500 per license it's way overkill and over budget for my needs.
Surely there must be some other tool for managing the help project, assembling the various files, table of contents, and editing the html documents using WYSIWYG.
Does anybody have any suggestions for what plugin(s) I should add to a basic Eclipse 3.5 install to give me full authoring capability?
Thanks in advance!
I know that my solution is not entirely what you need, but you should have a look at Mylyn Wikitext .
It uses a simple markup with good editor support and is also capable of exporting to Eclipse Help format.
I gave up looking for free since all the available tools have a lot of shortcomings.
I decided to use Adobe RoboHelp 8 since it has one of the nicest editors that I found. However, the main benefit for me has been that it automatically updates links in all pages if I rename or move a topic (which I do a lot).
When I want to generate the Eclipse Help file, I use the script that they provide.
For a large documentation project, we used Latex in combination with plastex. This allowed us to generate PDF, Eclipse Help and HTML from the same sources. Cross Referencing, which seems like an issue for some readers, is handled, as well as indexing and other cool stuff. Getting it to work was a bit tedious, but it was a good solution, as the documentation contained a lot of formulas.
This was an open source project, so everything is available - feel free to use and adapt as you see fit:
Result (HTML, PDF, Eclipse Help: http://handbook.event-b.org/
Code: https://sourceforge.net/p/rodin-b-sharp/svn/HEAD/tree/trunk/Handbook/
I don't think it exists in eclipse, but try the MS one (free):
Here is the info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms670169(VS.85).aspx
Here is the download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=00535334-c8a6-452f-9aa0-d597d16580cc
Then you can convert to eclipse format: http://home.amnet.net.au/~ghannington/hh2e/hh2e-readme.html
