Whenever I try to switch to ump perspective in an existing project, I get the error popup

Problems opening perspective ‘com.genuitec.eclipse.uml.umlPerspective’

Whenever I use a ‘New..’, UML seems to be missing from the list.

When I look at the Error log from install, there is the error

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.runtime 4 2 2008-07-18 09:41:58.490

And so on

I have uninstalled and installed MyEclipse a number of times but no change.

I have windows Vista

isemmel,
Have you setup MyEclipse using the All in One installer ? Your working on the 32 bit version of vista?

Can you go to http://www.poweredbypulse.com and grab the pulse launcher from there. After launching pulse, add the MyEclipse profile to it and check if the UML bit wrks for you.

[isemmel]

Yes, I used the All-in-one installer.

Am I supposed to download MyEclipse Pulse edition and reinstall MyEclipse ?

Should I uninstall MyEclipse first ?

[isemmel]

I tried the Pulse solution and things were worse. What is the point of Pulse ? It is not explained very well on the website and makes things confusing for newcomers.

In the end I uninstalled everything I could and deleted all the files I could (but obviously missed something as it still found my license details) and reinstalled from the GA exe. Things seem to be OK now.

Perhaps if the update/install process had a bit more manual intervention it would improve things. I must have downloaded the Matisse/Report/IceFaces updates about 10 times.

[Loyal Water]

Pulse is a tool for setting up MyEclipse. You dont have to uninstall previously installed copies of MyEclipse.

I suspected this was an installation issue to I wanted you to try setting it up again.

Did you get Matisse/Report/IceFaces updates setup?

[isemmel]

Yes, it seems ok now. Thanks

[Loyal Water]

Your welcome.
