Dan,
Try this, like copy-and-paste:

./eclipse -vmargs -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M

Did that work? If so, then try this:

./eclipse -vmargs -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -Dlinux.experimental=true

Did that work? If not, just lie to me and tell me it did 🙂

./eclipse -vmargs -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M

Received the “Use -Dlinux.experimental=true” msg.

./eclipse -vmargs -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -Dlinux.experimental=true

Received the “Design views are in conflict with internal web browser” msg.

I don’t know about you…but I think I have about pulled all my hair out.

I have bandages on my scalp and I have no idea what to try next… I’ve never given up on a support ticket before… but short of me coming to live with you to see this… I’m out of ideas 🙁

I tried ME on a Windows box and an another Ubuntu box.

It worked as expected on Windows.

It failed on the second Ubuntu box just as the first one did.

Are you sure this workaround really works for linux/Ubuntu? I really was impressed with the Visual Designer and am pretty anxious to get it working on the linux side.

Dan,
The good news is that we temporarily disabled the visual designer on Linux because of stability issues. Once we get a chance to stabalize it again, it will be the normal HTML/JSP editor so I think this situation is just temporary whatever is causing it to not load (no matter what we do)

To note, on our internal Ubuntu 6.06 and RedHat 4 installs, I cannot reproduce this.

Got an eta for it to be stable in linux?

I am starting a project and will choose an IDE for the entire project soon. The visual editor is a very nice addition to ME…especially for someone who is rather new to j2ee like me.

Dan,
No ETA at this moment. Part of the issue is there is a technology conflict at the Eclipse-platform level occuring, so it’s some pretty wiley stuff going on that we need to figure out how to protect against or see changes in the platform that fix it.
