I’ve been using Eclipse by itself for a while just fine, the about screen reports it is:

Version: 3.1.1
Build id: M20050929-0840

I just downloaded and ran the myeclipseide installation:

EnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_4.0.3GA_E3.1.bin

The installation log file reports:

Summary
——-

Installation: Successful with errors.

4777 SUCCESSES
0 WARNINGS
1 NONFATAL ERRORS
0 FATAL ERRORS

( … )

Install Action: RPMSpecFile
Status: ERROR
Additional Notes: ERROR – There was a problem creating the RPM package. You may not be running as root or may not have installed RPM Builder correctly.
ERROR – java.lang.NullPointerException

That is the only error, but it says it was still successful.
I indeed see the myeclipse in the about screen now:

Version: 4.0.1
Build id: 20050930-4.0.1-GA

So I’m following the steps in “Getting STarted: Working with Web Projects”, step 4, creating a J2EE web project, when I select web project and click next, nothing happens, the dialog stays there, and the eclipse console output says:

Unhandled event loop exception
Reason:
Invalid thread state detected on write.

What should I do? Was the installation truly successful? I’d like to give myeclipseIDE a try, but this is off to a shaky start…

I shut down and restarted eclipse with “-clean”. Then I tried new web project again. When I clicked next I got the same problem. A few seconds later I clicked next again and then it worked. Very odd, but I’m moving along now.

I’m still wondering about the significance of the RPM error I got on install though…

Hello Ron,

I’m still wondering about the significance of the RPM error I got on install though…

The RPM error is not a problem. Our installer doesn’t us a RPM or attempt to create one, so this message is indeed spurious.

If you continue to see the unhandled exception, could check you eclipse log and see if anything looks suspicious there? <workspace>/.metadata/.log ? Thanks.
