Every Xpage app I open in designer spews 1000s of java errors - xpages

I just came back from MWLUG and started to open up some Xpages DBs to work on, when all of the sudden I am getting 1000s of errors like this:
I googled the issue and I believe it has something to do with the path of the org.eclipse.pde.core.requiredPlugins.
When I opened up the packages and looked at fixing an error I got this:
The problem is that I do not know what the correct setting for this should be, or how to fix it. The apps run fine, but obviously something is wrong.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

==================================================
I may know more about the problem. In designer when I go to File==>Application==Application Management this is what I see:
A different install has several components under it.
I updated my designer and client and admin to 9.0.1 FP4 last week. That is the last thing I remember doing before this messed up (along with installing the Debug Toolbar).
How can I fix my designer install?

Strange indeed, you should check your hard drive for bad sectors.
Looks like a broken DDE in general. The plugin XML file maybe broken so the app manager doesn't show you the plugins installed. Therefor I assume DDE starts very quickly, right? Because nothing is loaded.
I had this before and my "solution" was:
de-install DDE and Fixpacks
delete workspace folder
re-install DDE and Fixpacks
re-install plugins ad setup workig sets
This is a pity but at least you get a clean install. You don't have to delete everything (e.g. the DATA folder)

Unable to modify some setting in MyEclipse

While working with some projects checked out from Git, we get errors with modifying the project settings in MyEclipse. I am trying to modify the deployment values in my workspace and it is not letting me (screenshot below).
There isn't a lot of information to go on, here (e.g. what is the version of MyEclipse, what type of project is this, what properties page are you switching from, the OS and version, whether this has worked before, the error log - but please don't paste that in here - and so on).
However, here are some actions that might help resolve it:
Firstly, try a fresh empty workspace then import the project from the old workspace, or better still import again from Git. This would help clean up possibly corrupted settings in the workspace.
Another thing to try is to launch MyEclipse with the -clean option (just add that option to the top of your myeclipse.ini file, found in the installation folder).
#Howlger is right, though, this is a commercial product and we may be better able to help if you raised the issue in the MyEclipse support forums.

Excel TFS Add-In Crashes Connecting to TFS

We frequently use Excel to perform bulk updates of data in TFS. Up until very recently, the Team Foundation Add-In has worked very well. However, it has started failing in several ways:
It will connect to the server, but attempting to connect to any
project causes Excel to crash, producing a Watson report in the
Windows Application Event Log.
If I restart Excel, it reports that it is running into problems with
both the shim and the add-in, and offers to disable it. If I do not
disable it, I still can't connect to a project.
Eventually, the add-in refuses to load at all, until I use the
Options dialog to manually add the COM add-in back into the
application. Doing so produces the same results (Excel crashes when
attempting to load a project).
I have taken the following steps in an attempt to resolve the issue:
Removed and completely reinstalled Office.
Re-registered the add-in component.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Team Foundation Office Integration.
None of these have produced a fix to the issue.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
P.S. If this is not the correct "stack" for this question, kindly point me to the correct one on the exchange. Thank you.
If you are reading the accepted answer and it still isn't working, here's an additional tip. I had the EXACT same problem and saw that same link to clear the cache from numerous sites, bit it didn't work.
Here's the thing. I don't think that article lists ALL of the places that cache can be hiding on your machine. I deleted the cache folder in two different places on my machine and had given up on that as a solution.
Then I searched my entire hard drive for any folder with "Team Foundation" in the name and found a couple more buried in other hierarchies. Deleting these FINALLY solved the problem.
Here are some folders to look for, but like I said, check the entire drive
c:\users\yourlogin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation
c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft shared\Team Foundation Server\
c:\users\yourlogin\AppData\Local\Temp\Microsoft\Team Foundation
The actual cache folder will be nested another level deep under a numbered folder named with something like "7.0" or "8.0" delete the cache folder from every one you find under every number.
In general cleaning the caches on your client machine will resolve such problems, including the TFS and VS caches...
To clean the caches, please see How to clear the TFS cache on client machines

ServiceStack.Examples Build FAIL all over the place on initial pull/clone from GitHub

this is EXTREMELY frustrating to anyone who just wants to pull down your code and check it out and get it to simple build successfully.
Here's the scoop.
So I open the ServiceStack.Examples-master\src\AppHarbor.sln after pulling it from github and cloning it to my local drive.
I have had nothing but trouble from the get go. I have had to fix this solution and project reference as well as assembly references.
there's nothing more irritating to a developer no matter if it's an internal solution or set of .NET projects or external, that bomb during initial build. This stuff should be building period.
Also when I can't even download an examples solution and get it to build it makes people wonder how well this open source API really is, can I truly even rely on it? This reflects on you Service Stack.
here's is what I did, nothing out of the norm here:
1) Cloned ServiceStack.Examples to my local c:\www\Sandbox folder where I keep stuff I'm playing around with
2) Just looking at the folder structure from the start, it makes no sense in terms of being discoverable and more importantly organized. For example why is there yet another ServiceStack.Examples inside src and then outside of that a ton of other example folders of other example apps in the root of \src also??? So you have stuff in src\ and in src\ServiceStack.Examples, this is hell confusing and disorganized.
ServiceStack.Examples\src\ServiceStack.Examples
3) Opened C:\www\Sandbox\ServiceStack.Examples\src\AppHarbor.sln
4) Tried to build all, and the first major problem is the MovieRest project doesn't load. I get an error while opening the .sln that it failed to load it:
ok fine, this is still ridiculous, nobody who downloads a solution should need to worry about fixin this but of course I did, so I readded it because in actuality this .csproj was moved into the src\ServiceStack.MovieRest\Web\ folder and looks to me like nobody even reopened the solution to fix it??
5) So then I go to try and build the solution again, notice all the missing binary references in MovieRest. So ultimately I figured ok, looks like pretty much every other project is getting their references from their associated packages folder however for some Reason MovieRest and the Nortwind projects don't have anything in their packages folder. so I end up manuall opening up the MovieRest VS 2012 solution and building it, and I guess Nuget must run or something during that build? Because now walla, I see the missing assemblies pop into ServiceStack.Examples\src\ServiceStack.MovieRest\packages finally.
6) Ok, so I rebuild again, and now it's complaining about missing sqllite assemblies and also a sqllite3.exe. So now I have to hunt around again to find them for the x84 and x64 and copy those missing assmblies back into ServiceStack.Examples\src\ServiceStack.MovieRest\Web\sqlite and I also noticed that MoviewRest project was referencing sqllite3.dll in the root of the project which was also missing...this is such a mess.
7) I notice that the Northwind project doesn't build either
I don't know what is going on here, I mean is the build really that messed up? Has to be.
Who is gonna fix this on the ServiceStack end? how the heck do I get this to finally build and how has this not been reported?
UPDATED 9/23
Here are the errors I get after pulling down the "fixed" solution. I did a Shift + Ctrl + B on it (Build All). Let me know if I am just missing something here but it's not building yet at least on my side:
UPDATE 10/1
Ok again lets talk about this.
I pulled this zip down: https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/archive/v3-snapshot.zip from this page: https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/releases
Opened the solution src\ServiceStack.sln (VS 2012 version)
First I get this SQL Express Error after opening it for the first time:
Now I try to build all on the solution and I get this build error:
So tell me what I could possibly doing wrong? This is a "Release" right? It should build right? It's not rocket science so how can people say this is a "dev consumer" issue? All I want is a stable release build. Simple.
I've just upgraded ServiceStack.Examples to VS 2013/IIS Express and updated it to the latest version of ServiceStack v3.9.63 that was just deployed. It should all build now, also some examples requires redis to be running on localhost.

How to add Tridion site in Internet Information Services(IIS) Manager?

I am working SDL TRIDION 2011 SP1 version. Suddenly I am unable to see the Trdion site in Internet Information Services(IIS) Manager. Please tell me the procedure how to get it back again.
Remove Tridion Completely (uninstall), then run the installer again.
You won't loose any data (it's all in the database), and you're likely to get your server up and running way faster than trying to fix by hand.
As #bart suggested, your best option to get the web application back (assuming it really has gone), is to run the repair option with the installer. There are a lot of folder specific settings which would be very hard to recreate manually.

Blackberry COD files randomly missing when using Eclipse 3.5

I'm finding the BB/Eclipse environment incredibly unstable and wanted to know if I'm doing something fundamentally wrong here?
I build my project and it produces about 40 or so COD files... usually. Sometimes if I clean and run some COD files are missing and it fails to run (or worse it runs the old version somehow). I kid you not, I'm spending about an hour each time I want to run/test my setup which is an order of magnitude slower than the other platforms I work with. It eventually works by hitting the clean/debug/clean/debug/etc... and doing nothing else except these clean/debug/repeat steps.
If I make incremental changes to my src it's fairly reliable at picking them up but when I add a new resource via windows explorer and say 'refresh' on that directory in eclipse it's when all the problems start.
Any pointers from experienced Eclipse/BB users would be much appreciated (especially how to narrow down why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't).
Thanks,
Stuart
I believe I've narrowed down the issues. Firstly I use DropBox on the src but this has the inadvertent feature of backing up build files and can't find a way of disabling this.
If the files are locked by Dropbox it unsurprisingly fails, the catch is it doesn't say 'couldn't write to file as it's locked' or anything helpful like that... just fails. Obviously when I go to inspect it Dropbox has done it's stuff so the perfect crime!
My learnings:
disable Dropbox on COD producing builds.
When changing SDK version I found I have to
change the SDK via the build config settings,
clean,
exit eclipse,
delete the build directory with windows explorer,
Restart eclipse and hit refresh/clean.
That seems to build fairly reliably now. Without restarting Eclipse I get all sorts of wierd errors of files going to wrong locations and dirty data being picked up. The main one is any //#ifdef's are not picked up by the preprocessor correctly so get 1001 errors.
