I’ve tried numerous times to get myEclipse to work. I’ve double checked the version of Eclipse is correct – 3.0.1 SDK and i have Jrun J2SE 1.4. If i open up Eclipse i don’t see the MyEclipse perspective but if i go into Help > About i see the my Eclipse icon in there. I’ve run eclipse -clean too,

any ideas?

thanks,

john.

if this helps, I found this in the logs file in .metadata,

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 4 Dec 17, 2004 16:32:32.326
!MESSAGE Category com.genuitec.eclipse.views.myEclipseCategory not found for view org.eclipse.monitor.view. This view added to ‘Other’ category.

Same exact problem here. Checked that the links directory has the proper links file, and it does, and it points to the proper location of my 3.8.3. install. Sow now what? How come under Help it knows about myEclipse and all the libraries, but it can’t use them.

I will double check my JDKs that eclipse uses. Possible it grabbed one other than my 1.4.x

John,

The issue is that your installation is definately bad for some reason. Please verify that you’re trying to install MyEclipse on top of a full Eclipse 3.0.1 SDK installation (about 80MB) and not one of the smaller distributions. From the looks of the error you posted, it seems that the MyEclipse plugins aren’t finding the correct prerequistites to enable them to start up properly.

Also, can you please post all the information we request in the [URL=http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-393.html]Posting Guidelines[/URL] thread at the top of this forum? That will give us some context to comment further.

Let me preface by saying this wasn’t acutally my installation. 🙂 I was helping a colleague. And now I know he was new to the world of exlipse, and had downlaoded the Platform, and not the SDK, therefore he had no Java plugins or any other plugins for that matter for the core Eclipse, and therefore explains why the MyEclipse install didn’t work.

Thanks,

Skip.

it’s this version of eclipse I’m using too:
ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.eclipse.org/R-3.0.1-200409161125/eclipse-SDK-3.0.1-win32.zip

>- How many plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory are like >org.eclipse.pde.*
None

The download you reference is correct, but having no pde plugins is not correct. The SDK has 8 pde plugins in it I believe… are you sure you are using this install?

[jabeynon]

nevermind, I had so many Eclipse ZIP files i’d gotten confused – all sorted! Doh!!

glad its working now.
