I have spent a frustrating couple of days attempting to get MyEclipse configured with Icefaces support. Every approach I take seems to lead to a dead end. Here are the two most recent attempts:

METHOD 1: USING PULSE

I deleted my previous MyEclipse installs, and downloaded Pulse. Using pulse, I installed MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench, Version: 6.0.1 GA, Build id: 6.0.1-GA-200710

In Help\Software Updates, I find that the “Check for Updates” is disabled. I assume this is normal for a “Pulse” installation, i.e. every plugin should be installed via Pulse. So, I picked “Manage this profile” to bring up Pulse Explorer. To my surpise, Icefaces is not listed anywhere.

METHOD 2: ECLIPSE CLASSIC PLUS MYECLIPSE

I downloaded and installed eclipse-jee-europa-winter-win32.zip, followed by MyEclipse_6.0.1GA_E3.3.1_Installer.exe.

Starting MyEclipse for the first time, the “Quick Install” window appeared with 3 items, one of which was IceFaces Ajax. I accepted all three.

I then created a new web application. A window appeared stating:
“Multiple operations have reported errors…” There were four errors listed, one for each of:
JSP Content Validator
JSP Semantic Validator
JSP Syntax Validator
HTML Syntax Validator

Checking Help\About\Plugin Details I found no Icefaces plugins installed. Also, no Icefaces capabilities are listed under MyEclipse \Project Capabilities.

Next, I downloaded ICEfaces-1.7.0-MyEclipse-6.0.1-plugins.zip, unzipped it into a local plugin install point, and started to install. An error window “Duplicate Conflicts” appears, listing dozens of conflicts. I selected “Yes” to continue anyway.

Five Icefaces plugins are now listed under Checking Help\About\Plugin Details. The Icefaces and Icefaces Facelets capabilites show up under MyEclipse \Project Capabilities. Creation of a web project causes them to show diabled (i.e. as if the capabilities were automatically included for a web project), but the Pallette does not include any Icefaces components.

Given that huge list of Duplicate Conflicts, I didn’t bother trying anything else.

—————————–

These are just two of the series of steps I have taken. Is there a set of up to date instructions that can be used to solve this? If I can’t figure something out soon, I will recommend that my company not adopt MyEclipse as a our standard IDE. (Two Pro subscriptions so far with more to come.)

You can re-enable it by going to Preferences > General > Capabilities, and turning the “Classic Update” back on.

Then you end up with two “Software Updates” menus under the Help menu, but the first one is the original one, and you can add it from there.

Can you switch to a new workspace and test this again. This is the option that I was referring to:-

Let me know if the problem persists with the new workspace as well.

I’m sorry, but I have absolutely no idea how that preferences page is accessed. I can’t find it in Eclipse. Is it part of Pulse? I see no buttons or menus in Pulse for accessing a Properties page. Is there any documentation for the Pulse UI?

[rtthomas]

Ignore that, I found it (I hadn’t cleared the preferences filter)

[Loyal Water]

Did you get Icefaces support to work as well ?

[rtthomas]

Not yet. Two problems:
1. I’m getting a lot of “Unknown attribute” errors in the .xhtml files, e.g.
<ui:composition xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&#8221;
xmlns:s=”http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib&#8221;
xmlns:ui=”http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets&#8221;
xmlns:f=”http://java.sun.com/jsf/core&#8221;
xmlns:h=”http://java.sun.com/jsf/html&#8221;
xmlns:ice=”http://www.icesoft.com/icefaces/component&#8221;
template=”layout/template.xhtml”>
The error list contains Unknow attribute errors for s, ui, f, h and ice. I’ve seen some postings that appear to refer to this same problem. Is this part of what will be dealt with in the 6.5 or 7.0 release?

2. Icefaces components do not appear in the palette. The Icefaces and Icefaces Facelets appear to be capabilities automatically added, since they are disabled on the Capabilities menu.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Can you right click on the project and go to MyEclipse and check if you can add the capabilities from here.
