Hello everybody,

I had installed MyEclipse 3.8GA with Eclipse SDK 3.1M1 without trouble.

I have had problems before with installations of different versions of Eclipse/MyEclipse and what I have choosen to do is to install every new version in a brand new directory.

The catch with this is that I have to install a brand new version of Eclipse and a brand new version of MyEclipse. Each one in a sub-directory of the previously created directoy. Having a final structure like:

|
+-Eclipse3M8
|  |
|  +-eclipse
|  +-MyEclipse
|
+-Eclipse3M9
|  |
|  +-eclipse
|  +-MyEclipse
|
+-Eclipse31M1
|  |
|  +-eclipse
|  +-MyEclipse

The name of the directories (like Eclipse31M1) are the names of the releases of the Eclipse SDK.

And the version of MyEclipse under the directory is the Latest version of MyEclipse at the moment I had made the installation.

Saludos

Alex

Alex,

Funny, but that’s exactly how I do it too. 🙂

Its a good suggestion for people that like to stay up to date.

Thanks, DanLynn. Your suggestion works like a charm!

The myeclipseide development and testing team needs to focus a bit more on usability, which includes installation/de-installation and DOCUMENTATION issues. What good are all the new ‘features’ if a user cannot install the product due to problems or use it due to a lack of current documentation? These issues, which may appear minor to a development team, can render your product null and void no matter how many ‘features’ the product boasts.

I agree with previous messages, this release is not OK!
JSP preview doesn’t work. It only shows @pagedirectives.

Suddenly classpath for JSPs failed and had problems finding classes from projects we have dependencies on. Validation of XML started failing because of connect timeouts, even though I could access the dtds in my webbrowser. Even tried with a “clean” install (workspace copied). Downgraded to Beta2 again to keep developing without running into problems.

This is a known bug filed with a high priority in our tracker.

I have not seen this reported yet, are these public DTDs, can you give a small XML snippet I can try?

vardaru,
I have filed this for us to look into ASAP, thank you for the report.

Please mark this as a bug. Note also that hitting refresh on the jsp preview wipes out the @pagedirectives themselves, leaving just a blank view.

Please see the post due north of this one 😉

Good detail, I’ll add it to the report. Thanks!

The issues mentioned in this thread were addressed in MyEclipse 3.8.1.

For what is the “Disable” step necessary? I get less problems without it (e.g. no trouble with org.perfmsr.core).

FWIW, I upgraded from 3.7.2 to 3.8.1, did the “disable” step and the uninstall….reinstall.

No Eclipse.

But I had read this post and remembered the “disable” issue — so I went to Help->Software Updates, chose MyEclipse and then “Enable” — up came Eclipse.

Just got around to installing myeclipse 3.8.1 (after uninstalling 3.8beta something) and came across an old issue I meant to report last time. When I run the installer (I have the EnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_030801.bin version) on my system I get the following errors (but it only affect the diskspace calculations and continues OK)

Preparing to install…
tail: `-1′ option is obsolete; use `-n 1′ since this will be removed in the future
Try `tail –help’ for more information.
/home/brianw/packages/Eclipse/EnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_030801.bin: line 327: [: `)’ expected, found -z

The first error causes the second one. The second one is due to unquoted shell vars in a -z test at line 327, never a good idea.

My system is a gentoo linux. 2.6.8 kernel, glibc 2.3.3 and tail is from gnu coreutils 5.2.1 (http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/).

Gentoo probably has a later version of tail than other distributions.

We appreciate the report, unfortunately the bug would like with InstallShield on this one (which is why we provide the manual install now).
