Hello,

Win2K
Eclipse 3.0.1
MyEclipse 3.8.2 + patches (don’t know where in Eclipse to look for their traces…)

I had been reading about issues using Eclipse refactoring tools and had applied some patches. But the problem is still occuring and I can hardly use the powerful rename features I need from Eclipse in an efficient way! Operations ultimately succeed but Eclipse is spending “hours” presenting me the “Creating workspace modifications…” message.

I would love to talk to someone from MyEclipse and resolve this once for all. Please call me at +44 1235 857849.

Guillaume,
We would strongly encourage you to upgrade to MyEclipse 3.8.3 and when you restart Eclipse with the new version of MyEclipse, don’t forget to edit your shortcut and add the -clean command line argument so the plugin cache is rebuilt.

Version 3.8.2 of ME shipped with the problomatic JSP indexer still causing trouble, in the QF1 we fixed 2 or 3 other use cases where the indexer would still spin up during normal builds and in QF2 we fixed a bug where the indexer was still spinning up during refactoring operations. All of this was fixed in 3.8.3 along with almost 100 other bug fixes and enhancements.

Riyad,

Thanks for your anwser.
Indeed, ME 3.8.3 worked for me where 3.8.2 + QuickFix patches didn’t.

Question though, I ran the Uninstall of ME 3.8.2 and still see 3.8.2 features under Help > About Eclipse > MyEclipse. How can I clean this up?

Guillaume,

I believe there are some plugins in each release that maintain their old version numbers when they don’t change (like some of the connectors), if this is what you are seeing then it is normal. However if you are seeing multiple copies of plugins, for example 2 or 3 Tomcat 5 connector plugins all with different versions then do the following:

If the directory you installed the new version of MyEclipse to is different than the old directory (e.g. C:\MyEclipse-3.8.2 and C:\MyEclipse-3.8.3) then you can navigate to Help > Soft Updates > Manage Config, find the extension that points to the C:\MyEclipse-3.8.2 install, right click -> Disable it, hit “No” for restart, shut down Eclipse, and go erase that old MyEclipse directory.

If you installed it to the same dir as the old one (C:\MyEclipse) then there isn’t anything you can do short of manually cleaning out the dirs, but the good news is that Eclipse is smart enough to just load the newest instance of each plugin, so having many copies is relatively harmless.

Thanks Riyad, worked like a charm. Have a good weekend.
