    After I installed MyEclipse 5.1.0GA with Eclipse 3.2.1 on Windows XP, the context menu of Package Explorer View was changed dramatically. The menu items were greatly reduced. The change doesn’t make any sense. For example, for java classes with main() methods, the original context menu would show “Run On Server”, “Run As Java Application”, and “Run As Java Bean”. Same options were available for “Debug As” submenu. After I installed MyEclipse, all options were gone except “Run On Server” on the “Run As” submenu, and “Debug As” submenu didn’t popup at all. 🙁

    Dingjing,

    What did you have installed prior to installing MyEclipse? It sounds like you had more than just Eclipse itself, correct? The confusion is likely caused because you had WTP installed seperately in addtion to Eclipse and MyEclipse does some things differently than WTP does them natively. It’s all still there, plus more, just a bit different. The quickstart tutorials in the Documentation Section should be able to get you up and running quickly. I’d recommend starting with the Application Server and Working with Web Projects quickstarts to get oriented rapidly.

    WTP was not installed seperately. It was bundled in Callisto. I installed the following additional plug-ins:
    SpringIDE 1.3.6
    QuickREx 3.0.0
    IBM UIMA 1.4.1
    IBM ICU 3.4.5
    JCraft JSch 0.1.28

    I looked throught the quickstart documentation you recommended, but I didn’t find what caused the problem or how to resolve it.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Dingjing,

    The problem is that you’ve installed a lot of redundant software from multiple locations. For example, MyEclipse is based on WTP and SpringIDE, so it includes integrated versions of each of those. It’s this overlap that will cause a lot of confusion as you try to use the tools. I’d suggest you do the following:

    1) Install the MyEclipse “All-in-one” installer in a new location
    2) Go through the tutorials and verify it’s working properly
    3) Augment it with the other tools you need (QuickREx, IBM xxx, JCraft, but not WTP or SpringIDE since they’re included).

    That should get you to a point that everything is useful for you.
