Are there any known problems with the Java properties file editor? I have been seeing some strange behavior. If I create a new .properties file, add some entries using the add button in the editor and save the file, the source view is empty and so is the file in the filesystem. If I close the IDE and reopen it, all the entries are gone.
I’ve encountered a different bug in the properties file editor. The “properties” tab can get out of synch with the “source” tab. The out of synch state is “sticky” within a session – ie. The problem persists after closing the editor, refreshing & cleaning the workspace, and re-opening the file in the properties file editor, howevering restarting myeclipse fixes the problem.
Basically the issue is that if you edit a file outside of myeclipse (in our case the properties file in question is generated by our build), the “source” view correctly shows the latest version of the file, however the “properties” tab continues to show the value when the properties file was first opened during the MyEclipse session. Refreshing the file / workspace and cleaning does not fix the problem, neither does closing or re-opening the file. In all cases, the “source” tab in the MyEclipse Properties File editor correctly shows the contents of the file, but the properties tab in the editor does not. Restarting MyEclipse resolved the problem.
In future how should I report a bug such as this, it seems the forum is an odd place to report a bug, but I cant find a bug reporting system.
ajcarroll,
Sorry to hear you are running into this issue. Can you send us a sample project with detailed steps to reproduce this issue. Also can you copy and paste your installation details? To get that, go to MyEclipseIDE menu options, click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details. Also can you attach screenshots and your error log file? Your log file is located at [your workspace dir]/.metadata/.log. You can either [PM] me these files or send a mail to support@genuitec.com, please refer to this link, this will help us in quick tracking.
This is the right place to report a bug.ajcarroll,
I could not replicate this issue at my end. I was able to edit the file outside the IDE. The changes reflected immediately in the IDE and persisted even after restarting the IDE
Can you list out the steps in detail to reproduce the issue?
