Hi,
I can’t get the linux installer to run on my Fedora linux distribution.
When I run the binary, I get the following exception:

Launching installer…

Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/zerog/lax/LAX

I did some digging, and when I prevent the sh file from deleting the install dir, I find that java cannot use the installer.zip as a jar file:
java -jar installer.jar
Exception in thread “main” java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:112)
at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:127)
at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:65)

but the zip file extracts just fine.

When I run in the directory I unzipped installer.zip
java -cp . -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xmx50331648 -Xms16777216 com.zerog.lax.LAX “/tmp/install.dir.7598/temp.lax” “/tmp/env.properties.7598”

OR

java -cp . installer

I get the the installer, and go through all the steps up to the point where it actually installes ME, but it freezes when it’s actually installing (“installing…” is right above the progress bar).

I am trying to install it for Eclipse 3.0M8 and am not installing ME in a subdir of Eclipse.

Much help is appreciated,
Thanks!

Matt,
An easy fix for this would be to grab the manual install from the downloads section and install that. Its really just a 2-step process and might even be faster than using the installer:

1) Unzip MyEclipse
2) Create a special file in <eclipse dir>\links that lets Eclipse know where to find MyEclipse

There are detailed instructions included with the Manual install and lots of screenshots. It looks long, but that’s only because we want to be as detailed as possible.

Hi,
I’ve tried following the steps, and I cannot get them to work. Eclipse is installed in /users/mkurjano/bin/tools/eclipse.
I get the following errors when I start eclipse:
[mkurjano@mornasule links]$ eclipse
Could not create action delegate for id: org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ExternalToolMenuDelegateMenu
Reason:
Internal plug-in action delegate error on creation.
Could not create action delegate for id: org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ExternalToolMenuDelegateToolbar

After I start eclipse, I get the splash screen then a message that the UI must be reset. I clicked OK, then it froze at the splash screen. I then killed eclipse. When I ran it a second time, eclipse started fine, but MyEclipse was not installed, and I did not get any message telling me the configuration has changed.

Here is the result of steps 1-6 of the manual installation.

[mkurjano@mornasule links]$ pwd
/users/mkurjano/bin/tools/eclipse/links

[mkurjano@mornasule links]$ cat com.genuitec.eclipse.MyEclipse.link
path=/users/mkurjano/bin/tools/MyEclipse

[mkurjano@mornasule links]$ ls /users/mkurjano/bin/tools/MyEclipse
eclipse img manual-install-3.7.html myeclipse_030702.zip

OK after restarting eclipse twice, things seem to have fixed themselves. Can you clarify why?

Thanks,

Yes, because 3.0 M8 is a *milestone* build. 🙂 It’s still got some ‘stabilizing’ to do.
