Hi,

I am trying to create a new Enterprise application project and I have a web module under that (no EJB module). I completed all the steps and clicked on ‘finish’, I got an error message ‘!NewProjectCreationWizard.op_error.message! See error log for details’. The error log has the following exception.

Merlyn,

Can you please post your full configuration information, as we request in the Posting Guidelines thread at the top of this forum? I tried using the wizard to create an EAR containing a single web project and had no problem. This is very likely some sort of install/configuration/environment issue and the additional information will help us figure it out.

Scott,

Thanks a lot for the reply. I figured out that the problem was because of the way I was creating the projects. Looks like I have to create EAR project and web project in 2 different folders. I tried doing it, and it worked. I still need to figure out why can’t I create a web project under a subdirectory of the root of EAR. Is it a bug or an expected behaviour?

Here is the information you requested:

What operating system and version are you running?
Windows XP

What Eclipse version and build id are you using? (Help > About Eclipse Platform)
Version: 3.0.0
Build id: 200310101454

– Was Eclipse freshly installed for MyEclipse?
Yes

– If not, was it upgraded to its current version using the update manager?

– Are any other external plugins installed?
yes

– How many plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory are like org.eclipse.pde.*
8

What MyEclipse version are you using? (Help > About Eclipse Platform > Features)
3.6.4

What JDK version are you using to run Eclipse? (java -version)
1.4.2

What JDK version are you using to launch your application server?
1.4.2

What steps did you take that resulted in the issue?
Tried to create an EAR project in c:/projects/earProject
Tried to create web project in c:/projects/earProject/webProject
When click on ‘Finish’ I got an error. The web project is created. I think the problem is with the EAR project.

What application server are you using?
oc4j

Thanks again,
Merlyn.

Merlyn,

Is it a bug or an expected behaviour?

It’s expected behavior. Eclipse does not allow overlapping projects.
