I’ve just finished installing myEclipse 5.5.1GA using the download plugin method, not the all-in-one method. Somehow I have managed to get my visual editor plugin out of sync with the rest of the install.

Under Help>Software Updates>Manage Configuration>Product Configuration:

The following items show a little red x beside them:

Visual Editor SKD 1.2.1.v20060825_M-u0g6E989Ug_OQPH
    - Java EMF SKD 1.2.3.v20070130_R-G95EUlhcE39c_dh
          - Java EMF Model Source 1.2.3.v20070130_R----6zXJK-L2U8VZ
    - Visual Editor 1.2.1.v20060817_M-zXJUBOfx_-eyDdh
    - Visual Editor Source 1.2.1.v20060817_M-eyDdh

The first, second, and forth lines have the red x, the third and fifth lines do not.

If there is a way to update just the visual editor plugin without downloading the entire myEclipse 5.5.1GA package, I would really appreciate hearing how to do it, and also what version I need to be using. ( I’m on vacation and only have dialup moden Internet access, so the less downloading I have to do the better! ).

rstewart,
Sorry you ran into a hickup. MyEclipse doesn’t ship VE, so getting VE upgraded to the proper compatible version doesn’t necessarily rely on any particular MyEclipse verison. I think the root of this issue is that MyEclipse ships up-to-date versions of some core libraries that VE relies on (EMF, GEF).

Looking at he VE page: http://www.eclipse.org/vep/WebContent/main.php

I don’t see a release that may work… I think you are using the latest stable release of VE, and I see a new build going that my guess is for Europa (Eclipse 3.3) in which case that will be compatible with MyEclipse 6.0, but not 5.5.

When you select the errored plugins, is a description of the problem given?

[Rick Stewart]

Hi Riyad,

If I check the status of the first line it says:

Included feature "Java EMF Model SDK" version "1.2.3.v20070130_R-G95EUlhcE39c_dh" contains problems.

Included feature "Visual Editor" version "1.2.1.v20060817_M-zXJUB0fx_-eyDdh" contains problems.

Then when I check the status of the individual items, they say:

Included feature "Java EMF Model" version "1.2.3.v20070130_R----6zXJK-L2U8VZ" is disabled.

and 

Included feature "Java EMF Model" version "1.2.3.v20070130_R----6zXJK-L2U8VZ" is disabled.

I will miss not being able to use the editor, but if it will become available in an update or two, that’s not so bad. ( I had not realized it was not a core feature ).

[Riyad Kalla]

Rick,
Actually… does VE still run? I wonder if it’s just warning you that some older dependencies won’t load, but I wonder if the ve plugin itself will still work with the updated plugins in MyEclipse 5.5?

[Rick Stewart]

I should have thought to mention that, sorry. The VE does work in part, but it only has the Design and Preview tabs, the Source ( I think that’s what it was called, its the main editor pane ), Mozilla, and IE view tabs are missing.

rick…

p.s. The VE also has problems opening files sometimes:

Unable to create this part due to an internal error. Reason for the failure: An unexpected exception was thrown.

Doh wait, are we talking about VE (www.eclipse.org/vep) or are we talking about the Visual HTML/JSP Designer? The stack trace you posted above is from our visual HTML/JSP designer, but the earlier info you posted was about the Visual Editor from the Eclipse foundation…

[Rick Stewart]

Hi Riyad

I have been talking about the Visual HTML/JSP Designer. I guess I assumed in my first post that the Visual HTML/JSP Designer and the Visual Editor were the same thing, I had not remembered that I had downloaded the VE in an earlier version of Eclipse.

So, my problem with Visual HTML/JSP Designer has nothing to do with the little red x marks in the Product Configuration menu beside the Visual Editor SKD entries. Sorry about that Riyad, I didn’t mean to lead you down the garden path.

This morning with memory stick in hand, I visited the local village and found a high speed Internet connection, and I downloaded and have installed the All-in-One MyEclipse 5.5GA package. I have open a html document using the Visual HTML/JSP Designer option, and I see the same thing as before, the window has just 2 tabs, one labeled Design, and one labeled Preview.

So I guess this is the way its suppose to work?

I very confused. Before my upgrade to myEclipse 5.5GA, when I opened an html document using the Visual HTML/JSP Designer, I had 5 tabs available ( source, design, preview, IE, Mozilla ). The one labeled source is the one I’d really like to recover.

Any ideas what is happening?

Rick…

[Riyad Kalla]

Rick,
I’m sorry for the confusion, this is actually the new layout we went with. The idea is that both tabs pull double-duty with a split pane. Design is Source/Visual design mode, and Preview shows both IE and Mozilla at the same time.

If you want to get the source view back by default, hit the divider button to maximize it and hide the design view. Then it will open by default from that point forward.
