Hi I just purchased, installed and registered myeclipse-pro. I did a manual install ME-4.0.3GA_E3.1ManualInstall.zip according to the instructions. I did have a lot of plugins already installed, EMF, GEF, fatjar, …

The first error I have encountered so far is that

File>New>UML Model Repository

opens a new editor, but it does not show anything, but whatever windows was just over its screen area (if I alt+tab to another window and back to eclipse, I can see the parts of the window that was just in the foreground in the UMR editor). I can save the file and it is 1137 bytes long.

In the error log I see a lot of exceptions a la>

Could not install bundle ../../../myeclipse/4.0.3/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.mapping_2.1.0/ Bundle “org.eclipse.emf.mapping” version “2.1.0” has already been installed from: update@plugins/org.eclipse.emf.mapping_2.1.0.jar

(I can paste the complete list if necessary).

Hope you can help me sort of this issue – I would hate to restart my eclipse-3.1 installation, since that is a lot of work.

My config is reproduced below [1]

Cheers,

I did have a lot of plugins already installed, EMF, GEF, fatjar, …

EMF and GEF alone (having them installed separately from the MyEclipse versions) is going to cause a whole slew of problems with most all of our editors right out of the gate. If you also had WTP installed, that will also create another set of problems.

The *ideal* situation is typically to install Eclipse/MyEclipse and then start adding 3rd party plugins from there. The reason for this is MyEclipse is a huge extension, you have no idea when something you have installed is going to conflict with it.

Now I realize reinstalling is a pain. So let’s try this first:

1) Shut down MyEclipse
2) Open up your <Eclipse Dir>\plugins, directory (not MyEclipse, but Eclipse)
3) Move all the gef and emf plugins into some temporary directory somewhere on your Desktop.
4) Now restart MyEclipse using the -clean command line argument and try and create a UMR file again, did that work?

[b3rntsen]

You convinced me to start something from scratch, since that would be easier than cripling a working installation.

I downloaded and installed
eclipse-SDK-3.1.1-win32
then I
Help>Software Updates>Manage Configuration>Add Extension Location
pointed it to my prior unpacking of
ME-4.0.3GA_E3.1ManualInstall.zip
(shared with the other closed down installation of eclipse).
I have not installed any other plugings.

Now I try
File>New>UML Model Repository
but again, I have the same problem described above with a dead canvas.

Now I tried starting my new installation with a fresh workspace, and the UML editor started to work. Then i imported 1) installed subclipse 0.9.102 and 2) I imported all my preferences from my old installation. Now the UML editor went dead again. (I did not check its state between 1) and 2).

I tried to make the UML editor live again by a) restore defaults in the preferences and b) disable the subclipse plugin and c) start in a new work space. But nothing succeeded.

I will try and track it further and add to this thread. Any ideas with the above info?

update:

starting eclipse -clean in a new workspace after a) b) and c) above still does not work, I will have to reinstall the new eclipse completely.

[Riyad Kalla]

Very strange. Did you check your log file in the new workspace for exceptions?

<workspace dir>\.metadata\.log

Also I have subclipse here and it doesn’t seem to interfere.

[b3rntsen]

it turns out that there seems to be a jar in the eclipse 3.1.1 with a bad CRC. Three different zip programs have problems with it, so I am trying to getting the jar again.

[Riyad Kalla]

Interesting, thank you for troubleshooting this and keeping us updated.

Also try redownload SDK from anotehr mirror just incase something else is wrong with the package.

[b3rntsen]

with a new install of eclipse 3.1.1 and a clean manual install of followed by a paste of my registration key I still cannot get the UML editor to work. Now I have an entry in the error log:

Unable to find Action Set: com.genuitec.myeclipse.action.umltools

If your Eclipse download was corrupt, I am wondering if your MyEclipse download is corrupt as well… did you run CRC against both ZIPs without incident?

Also, do you have any custom JARs in your JRE/ext directory?

[b3rntsen]

With the clean install of eclipse and myeclipse the most I can get in the log is:

As per the SDK, I gather you mean the eclipse-3.1.1? I got it from two different mirrors and the have the same md5sum. The first I downloaded was from one of those two mirrors, so it seems that the mirror has the right file, but something went wrong in the first download.

I am turning to the installer to see if it is your manulal installation that is broken…

[Riyad Kalla]

That log looks fine for a fresh install

What version of Windows are you on? What is your Video Card and have you updated the driver recently?

[b3rntsen]

disabling ME4.0 and adding the 4.1M2 manual installation does not help either, same problem, still nothing in the log. no other plugins installed. The download of the installer is soooo slow at this time, so I cannot try that before tomorrow.

Maybe a reboot of windows is a good idea now, sigh.

Later,

I have just checked

md5sum ME*
458140020cc05f7a37d84d411d9661d0 ME-4.0.3GA_E3.1ManualInstall.zip
068e06222e8b70b20c8b9a094f1adb7c ME-4.1M2_E3.1ManualInstall.zip

and with zip -T (on linux) they get an OK.

I am not sure what you are talking about here, there are som jars in Java\jre1.5.0_05\lib\ext:

dnsns.jar, sunjce_provider.jar, sunpkcs11.jar, localedata.jar

but I did not put them there myself.

Windows 2002 Professional Service Pack 2 on a Dell Lattitude D505 with an Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME graphics controller. I use dual headed display with extended desktop, I have update the video drivers some months ago.

I use my attached monitor as primary display, and the laptop as secondary.

[b3rntsen]

I just discovered that the UML viewer does not work on my primary desktop on the atttached monitor, but it does so on the notebooks primary display. I have seen problems with other apps before but I think to remember that they have been the other way around, that when I drag something to my extended desktop on the notebook display, they cannot work.

Guess I will have to visit the driver update site again. Thanks for the clue!!!
