– System Setup ——————————-
Operating System and version: WinXP Pro
Eclipse version: 3.0
Eclipse build id: 200406251208
Fresh Eclipse install (y/n): n
If not, was it upgraded to its current version using the update manager? yes
Other installed external plugins: none
Number of plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory that begin with org.eclipse.pde.*:
MyEclipse version: 3.8.1…3.8.2
Eclipse JDK version: 1.4
Application Server JDK version: 1.4
Are there any exceptions in the Eclipse log file? lots– Message Body ——————————-
This one’s a bit odd…
I went to upgrade MyEclipse 3.8.1 to 3.8.2. I followed the instructions on the upgrade thread, except that I had forgotten that my client requires HTTP proxy with authentication, so my proxy settings were all wrong.
But the upgrade **appeared** to have completed successfully. I didn’t get any warnings, and it asked me to restart the Workbench as expected. When I did (manually with -clean, etc. since I’m on 3.0), all MyEclipse functionality was just GONE. No errors in the workbench GUI…it just behaves as though ME was never installed. But there are of course a bunch of errors in the log regarding missing plugins and such. Wierdest part: the “about” says that MyEclipse 3.8.2 is installed, and the upgrade wizard says there are no new updates. I can’t seem to get it to re-install the upgrade.
Can I force the upgrade to run again? Or do I have to to a complete uninstall?
(FYI, I can say from prior experience that upgrading the Eclipse software itself gives me an error when I forget to set the proxy correctly…but MyEclipse never complained…?)

Seem to have found a solution, though it seems more wierd to me than the question. I wiped out the MyEclipse portion of the platform.xml file. When I restarted Eclipse, I realized before I even got to check the update wizard that ME 3.8.2 had been recognized. A look in the ME install directory showed a number of 3.8.2 plugins beside the existing 3.8.1 plugins. I even went though the release notes and tried some of the new functionality (XML comments, etc) and it seems OK.
So I guess ME doesn’t use the Eclipse proxy settings, and I had some other issue?
Only possible remainder of something not right I’ve found so far: The splash screen in the MyEclipse portion of the Workbench properties still says version 3.8.1+QF20040825…is this a known issue?
So, in the end, I don’t rightly know what happened or how…but I’m back up and running.
