I have installed 4.0.3 with eclipse 3.1.1 on windows. i am hitting a variety of problems. most recently, the tapestry specification editor won’t open, reporting the following error:

however, when i look inthe myeclipse plugins, i can find the jar with this class…

[glongman]

Looks to me like the install didn’t go right.

Try a clean install of Eclipse and ME.

pls ensure also that Spindle from SF is not also installed.

[Scott Anderson]

Before a reinstall, you might also try starting with -clean first:
eclipse.exe -clean

Refreshing the plugin cache has been known to fix a variety of ills.

[rbisaccia]

i actually tried both the -clean and a complete reinstall(twice) and neither one worked….

any other ideas would be appreciated 😕

[Scott Anderson]

Do you have any other plugins installed? Can you delete the log (<workspace>/.metadata/.log) then restart with -clean (eclipse.exe -clean) and then post all the information we request in the [URL=http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-393.html]Posting Guidelines[/URL] thread at the top of this forum? That will give us some context so that we can dig a bit deeper. Something is definately not right with the install; that much is certain.

by the way…in addition to the tapestry problems above…

the xml editor opens to a grey screen with no information so is unusable;
the tld editor does the same;
the jsp editor takes 20 seconds to open a file ( usually the first time it opens)

for the additional problems the error in the log file is:

[Riyad Kalla]

rbisaccia,
First let me appologize that this hasn’t been resolved yet, let’s try some really basic stuff here just to rule out any dumb little thing that could be causing this.

I’m going to outline some steps below, please follow them to the letter even though it might seem completely unnecessary, or you already did it or redundant. What I’m trying to do here is create *our* test environment on your machine, and if that doesn’t work then we know something funky is going on. If it does work, then we can move up from there focusing on getting you set back up with the envinroment you need.

First let me say that this exception:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.genuitec.eclipse.core.ViperCore.ē(Z)Z

Is text-book wonky install indicator, so what I’d like you to try is the following:

** NOTE: in my instructions below when installing Eclipse/MyEclipse do not select an existing eclipse or myeclipse directory to install ontop of, always use a new clean directory.

1) Please download and install the 1.5.0_06 release of Sun JDK from Sun’s site here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
** NOTE you can uncheck the “Public JRE” if you don’t want the installer to mess with your system settings at all and just basically unzip the JDK.

2) After that please reboot (I know, seems unnecesary but I want to rule out everything)

3) Now download Eclipse 3.1.2 SDK from here: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.1.2-200601181600/eclipse-SDK-3.1.2-win32.zip

4) After downloading it, unzip it to a new location, say C:\Java\eclipse-3.1.

5) Now edit the eclipse.ini file in the C:\Java\eclipse-3.1\eclipse directory, and add a line that looks like:
-vm C:\<Path to your new 1.5.0_06 JDK’s Directory>\bin\javaw.exe

where the stuff in the middle is wherever you installed the JDK directory, it’s usually something like:
-vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\bin\javaw.exe

6) Now save that file, exit and run eclipse.exe, *AND SELECT A NEW WORKSPACE*, this is important, do not use your old workspace. Did it startup correctly and show you the welcome screen? Good, close Eclipse, not done just yet.

7) Now download MyEclipse 4.1 GA from our site (again might seem redundant, please humor me) and install it to a new location like C:\Java\myeclipse-4.1. When asked to select your Eclipse 3.1 install location, be sure to choose the directory where you unzipped the new copy of Eclipse: C:\Java\eclipse-3.1\eclipse (or whever you unzipped the new version)

8) After the install is done, run Eclipse.exe again. Now in your clean workspace create a new Web Project called “Test”. Open the web.xml file, does it look OK now? (no gray square?). Also try and create a temp JSP file in the WebRoot dir and open it, does it open OK?

9) Now using File > Import > Existing Project, import your old tapestry project from your OLD workspace that you were having problems with… is it working now?

[rbisaccia]

Riyad,

That appears to have worked. Thanks.

-Ron
