Hello,

After hitting the browser tab in the myeclipse perspective, I was told an error had occurred and I needed to restart the workbench. However, now eclipse will no longer launch, complaining that “An error has occurred. See the log file…”

The trace (listed below) suggests that it might be something to do with MyEclipse – Can you help me please? This happened once before, and while removing my workspace directory remedied the problem, it also forced me to re-create all my user libraries which was a real drag.

Thanks!

John,

Restarting once with the -clean commandline options should get things moving again (ie. eclipse -clean).

Thanks for the suggestion, but this does not fix the problem. Can you explain what’s going on or suggest a different fix?

Thanks again!

John,
This is a really annoying side effect of the SWT Browser not being happy with the version of Mozilla installed. It needs <= 1.6 and you likely have 1.7> installed or Firefox. Please see this entry for a workaround: http://www.myeclipseide.com/images/tutorials/quickstarts/htmleditor/ (go to the FAQ section)

Also this should be fixed in 3.8.4 in that we don’t blow up if the browser is incompatible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks Riyad, this seems to have fixed the problem. One step that I didn’t see mentioned was the need to add the $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Do I understand correctly that MyEclipse 3.8.3 does not work with Eclipse3.1M4? Do you have an approximate release date for 3.8.4?

Correct

Do you have an approximate release date for 3.8.4?

Soon, like “any day now” soon… also there will likely be two releases of 3.8.4, a version for Eclipse 3.0 and a version for Eclipse 3.1, so just be mindful of that when you are downloading the release.
