Is it possible to disable or remove the built-in Java compiler (JDT) from a MyEclipse installation?

I am evaluating XML tools for a customer that forbids installation of compilers and requires software maintenance support for installed software. One option under consideration is using Eclipse as just an XML editor/validator. I can configure Eclipse without a compiler by installing the Platform Runtime Binary and only the XML Editors and Tools plug-in. This configuration works well as an XML editor/validator, but the configuration is viewed as “unsupported” by my customer. I’ve experimented with the evaluation copy of MyEclipse, but it appears to require the JDT for every configuration I tried. Is there a way to install/configure MyEclipse that does not require JDT?

Thanks,
David

David,

I am afraid, it is not possible to configure MyEclipse without a default JDK. If you would like replace MyEclipse default JDK with some other JDK, you can try it. But it may not be stable. Make sure you modify the myeclipse.ini file located at MyEclipse installation dir to refer to the other JDK(By default this is located at C:\Program Files\Genuitec\Profiles\myeclipse x\myeclipse.ini)

Joy,

Thanks for your response and confirmation that MyEclipse requires a JDK. Unfortunately, that requirement precludes using MyEclipse on my customer’s network.

David,

Sorry to hear you cannot use MyEclipse because of the JDK restriction at your customer’s network. Please feel free to come back and use our product whenever such restrictions are not there.

Best Regards,
