Troubleshooting

Eclipse sometimes losing SDK in eclipse.ini

Eclipse Mars requires at least v7 so it will fail to load with system default if its v6. Resolve by adding this to eclipse.ini -vm D:/dev/eclipse/java_1.7_64/bin/javaw.exe. Needs more investigation (maybe a config file update will fix). (COMPLETE, problem not happening with sdk7)

install Java SE Development Kit (=JDK) http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

The Java Development Kit (JDK) is an implementation of either one of the Java SE, Java EE or Java ME platforms. Oracle strongly suggests that they now use the term JDK to refer to the Java SE Development Kit. The Java EE SDK is available with or without the JDK, by which they specifically mean the Java SE 7 JDK. Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.8 (officially named Java SE 8), JDK (Java SE Development Kit) includes a complete JRE plus tools for developing.

disable screen lockout on the slices

1.RegEdt32 (Start => Run => RegEdt32 (or Regedit) ), HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Policies -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Control Panel -> Desktop, set ScreenSaverIsSecure registry key value to 0. Now you need to set permissions so that only you can change it, which will prevent whatever group policy or process from altering it when you restart your slice. 2.Right click on the Desktop folder in registry editor where the key is housed. 3.Click Permissions, then click Advanced 4.Select SYSTEM permission entry, click EDIT 5.Check the Deny checkbox for “set value” 6.Repeat for RESTRICTED. You will now see two Deny entries under the Permissions tab for “Set Value”. Click OK and you are done.

4GB installed RAM, only 2.75GB usable?

Try running msconfig, going to boot, then advanced options and see if the Max memory button is checked. The general consensus was that it should not be.

NPM isn't working well with the proxy

By default, NPM should use your default proxy settings when downloading dependencies. In some cases, developers have reported that this is not happening. If this happens to you, follow the steps below to directly set the NPM proxy values.

1. First make sure that you followed the steps above correctly and then restarted your machine.
2. Open up your command line tool and run the following commands in order to delete any user defined proxy settings:

   npm config delete proxy
   npm config delete https-proxy
   

3. Restart your command line tool and see if the issue is resolved.
4. If the issue is still not resolved, run the following command in order to set the proxy specifically in your NPM config:

   npm config set proxy http://localhost:3128
   npm config set https-proxy http://localhost:3128
