    I installed from the 7.1 download; no problem.
    Added eclLemma site in software updates. This simple addition causes a 30 minute update of MyEclipse to 7.5, after which I get random problems, the latest of which is an error message saying “the project was not built since the source file /project/src/com/lexi/Foo.java could not be read” even though the file is present and readable in the workspace

    This is the second problem I have had in as many weeks with the new version; I’m out of business at this point and seriously considering another IDE after using myeclipse for years…

    That’s a known bug we inherited from p2 — you cannot veto pending updates — you have to pull them all down. You would have this same problem in Eclipse if you were running 3.4.1 and added a new plugin, it would pull Eclipse 3.4.2 down with it. We are working on getting it fixed in MyEclipse 8.x series.

    the latest of which is an error message saying “the project was not built since the source file /project/src/com/lexi/Foo.java could not be read” even though the file is present and readable in the workspace

    Strange, first try to right click on all your projects and do a “Refresh”, then do a Project > Clean All Projects and see if that does the trick. Sounds like the workspace cached state is out-of-whack with reality at the moment.

    So what’s the timeline on the MyEclipse 8.x release? I have to do without my plugins untl ithen?

    Sorry for butting in here, but unfortunately Riyad will be out for several days and I’d like to see if I can help.

    I understand that you installed MyEclipse 7.1 and then it automatically updated to 7.5 when you added the eclEmma plugin and Riyad correctly explained why this unexpected download occurred. So, from that you should have MyEclipse 7.5 and eclEmma installed. The errors you’re reporting on your project sound precisely like a “workspace out of date” problem as Riyad noted. Did you try his recovery steps in the above post? Did the rebuild resolve the issue? When you navigate to Help > Software updates… > Add/Remove software does the dialog shown list eclEmma as installed and state that it’s MyEclipse 7.5 like the one I’ve attached?

    I was looking at some other threads and was reminded that the “open file issue” on Linux can cause all kinds of sporadic behavior, exactly like you’re seeing. More information about it as well as corrective action is in this thread: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/ubuntu-9-04-install-of-7-5-just-downloaded-totally-weird/
