I can create a jsp file in a MyEclipse web project that deploys and displays in tomcat.. so I know it is a ‘valid’ jsp file.
I can edit it in the ‘source’ mode of the designer.. no problem. But it is totally BLANK in the ‘design’ mode or split ‘design’ mode. I cannot see or add any content in design mode, yet everything else looks OK. (the properties window works.. I can add tags from the palette in the ‘soucer’ window… The ‘design’ window is just a BLANK slab of white real estate. I have started with a fresh Eclipse and MyEclipse download, and have not installed any other plugins.. so there cannot be any conflicts. Can anyone tell me the magic ‘button’ to push to make this window work?

I am using Eclipse 3.1.2 with MyEclipse 4.1.1, on a Win2k Pro SP4 machine.

Thanks, Mike

Mike,

Are there any errors in your error log? <workspace_dir>/.metadata/.log

If so, could you post them here?

[mikeaa]

Hi Greg.. I did a lot of flailing around last night trying to get it to work.. so to make things clean for you, I uninstalled MyEclipse & Eclicpse, then re-installed and configured them, created a new web project with a single jsp that displays prperly in source and in IE when deployed.. but still nothing in ‘design’ mode.. I copied all the error messages in the log after this last reinstall, so what you see below should be relevent to the current setup. I also ran Eclipse with the ‘-clean’ option.. didn’t help.

I’ll go back to evaluating MyEclipse when I get your solution 🙂

What version of IE do you have installed? Also, you can also use the ‘Classic’ versions of both the HTML and JSP editors, just right-click a html/jsp file and go to Open With > MyEclipse ‘Classic’ HTML editor.

[mikeaa]

IE version 6.0.28

During my ‘evaluation period’ I have been using the ‘classic’ version while waiting for the (hopeful) fix.. I would definitely prefer to use a visual editor (Like my old faithful Dreamweaver).. The writeup for your visual designer looks very impressive.. so I would very much like to use it .

Could there be a problem with using java 5 ?
Perhaps you could tell me what IE privacy / security settings need to be set on/off for the ‘designer’ editor to work.

If you don’t see an immediate solution, then I will go on to evaluate Exadel Pro, as I have a bit of a deadline for making a choice, and your two plugins seem to be mutually exclusive.. so I must decide which one best suits my needs and my level of development.

Please let me know if you think this might take a while.

Thank you for your help.. I imagine that it must not be easy trying to debug each users unique configurations.

Mike

Mike,
We have our M1 release of MyEclipse 5.0 comming out soon which will include a new designer (no longer IE based AND cross platform). We would encourage you to atleast try that out before deciding that MyEclipse isn’t for you. Additionally, please expect bugs as you work with M1 as 5.0 is a major release for us. Additionally, M1 won’t be feature complete, more features will be comming in M2.

[mikeaa]

Thank you for the info Riyad.

Cutting dependencies with IE certainly sounds like a ‘move forward’ 🙂
I will check back with MyEclipse when you release M1. I assume that I will be allowed a new evaluation period with M1, and I will be looking forward to that.

Regards, Mike

[Riyad Kalla]

Mike,
If you have a hickup with the trial code, email subscriptions@myeclipside.com and point them to this thread, I think they can reissue you a new trial.
