Merging multiple commits into a single commit which are already pushed into a central repository

If you're merging local commits:

http://exploreeclipse.blogspot.sg/2012/11/git-squash-all-commits-into-single.html

If the code is already pushed into a central repository and having multiple commits for a single fix/feature, now you wanted to merge couple commits into a single commit to make the git history clear.

Step 1: Identify how many last commits you wanted to merge ?

$ git reflog

4585fc6 HEAD@{0}: commit: fixig build scripts

c10447a HEAD@{1}: commit: fixing build issues

baa56c0 HEAD@{2}: commit: Using forked repo for testing

f744eec HEAD@{3}: commit: Missing tag

c30816d HEAD@{4}: commit: Missing tag

ea302be HEAD@{5}: commit: Removing bin folder

6560cb9 HEAD@{6}: commit: Build files and studio plugins folder structure

4540830 HEAD@{7}: clone: from https://github.com/kolipakakondal/studio_app.git

From above, I wanted to merge from HEAD@{0} to HEAD@{6} - That basically last 7 commits

Step 2: Rebase interactively

$ git rebase -i origin/master~7 master

Step 3:  Push the changes forcefully to a central repo

$ git push origin +master

Closing all the Virtual running machines in the system

Here default is the VM name which is running. We can also provide UUID instead of name.

How to find the eclipse version number

In eclipse root directory you can find .eclipseproduct file

name=Eclipse Platform

id=org.eclipse.platform

version=4.4.2

You can also find the exact bundle id from - eclipse/configuration/config.ini

eclipse.buildId=4.4.2.M20150925-0400

Eclipse non-model dialog

@Override

protected void setShellStyle(int newShellStyle) {           

     super.setShellStyle(SWT.CLOSE | SWT.MODELESS| SWT.BORDER | SWT.TITLE);

     setBlockOnOpen(false);

}

Text setMessage with SWT.MULTI style

Text setMessage with SWT.MULTI style - Yes, this doesn't work!.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=397695

Seems to be that's a native OS behaviour for Windows and GTK platforms.

Example:

Text  releaseNotesTxt = new Text(appPreviewComposite, SWT.MULTI | SWT.BORDER | SWT.WRAP | SWT.V_SCROLL );

releaseNotesTxt.setMessage("Enter your release notes for this build (Optional)");

But this works with SWT.Single or SWT.Search
