    Hi, there
    I’ve just came from PHP world, not much experience in eclipse. I’d like to ask 2 questions.

    1. Can it be possible? I’ve couple of projects that depends on MyEclipse too. I’ve no idea if it’s possible to install both together

    my config :
    – windows xp sp2
    – java 1.5.0_06
    – eclipse 3.1.2 with plugins (emf, gef, jdt, jem, pde, uml, ve, xsd)
    – exadel 3.5 pro
    – spindle
    – phpeclipse
    – tapestry palette
    – jetty launcher

    I want to install My Eclipse IDE 4.1 into this configuration.
    —-> Should I install in this setting or make a new eclipse folder + (uninstall Exadel + install MyEclipse) <——

    2. I’m interested in building GUI app too. How good to have WindowBuilder Pro as a GUI builder tool? And yes,
    ——> Should I install within Exadel’s eclipse or separate it? <—-

    thank you for every comments. 😕

    Wow, that’s some config. I would really recommend that you create just an Eclipse 3.1.2 SDK installation (no emf, gef, jem, etc) and then install MyEclipse so that it uses that installation. MyEclipse comes bundled with all of the appropriate versions of all other foundational projects it needs (EMF, etc) as well as support for Spindle and Jetty out of the box. Once you get that configuration up and running you can then add your PHP editor to the new installation.

    As for GUI applications, Instantiation’s WindowBuilder Pro is an excellent product and we don’t know of any incompatibilities between it and MyEclipse.

    Hi, Scott. Thank you very much for a good recommendation. I’d do it as you suggest.

    Two more things.. Should I use your WYSIWYG web designer and DO NOT install WTP, shouldn’t I?

    and… What’s about BIRT? Can I install into the same eclipse folder that has MyEclipse IDE already?

    Thank you, Scott & support.

    Correct. You can’t install WTP in the same install as MyEclipse due to some compatibility issues. Also, WTP doesn’t have any of the WYSIWYG designers that MyEclipse does so it doesn’t add any value for your intended usage.

    and… What’s about BIRT? Can I install into the same eclipse folder that has MyEclipse IDE already?

    Users have installed MyEclipse and BIRT together for awhile. I wouldn’t recommend putting the BIRT plugins into the directory hierarchy containing the MyEclipse plugins and features, however. We install externally from the base Eclipse installation to make it easy to update MyEclipse. Co-mingling other plugins into our hierarchy will defeat that. You should install BIRT in it’s own installation location, separate from MyEclipse, but using the same Eclipse instance to avoid polluting your MyEclipse install. By the way, we already ship the EMF and GEF versions required by BIRT so you don’t need to install those separately.

    Thank you very much, scott. That’s what I want. So, i’ll do as you’ve said.
