Hi there,

I tried to install myEclipse on two platforms (WXP and Debian). Since I had a working Eclipse (3.3.1.1), I only wanted the plugin to install. This obviously worked on both platforms, but as I started MyEclipse I recognized, that some Menus (MyEclipse-View) and Icons (e.g. Deploy) were missing. Then I tried the All-In-One-Version for WIndows and that worked perfectly.

As I need this for Linux mostly, I spent hour to install it. I tried it manually and via the installer – with the same result. There is only the “MyEclipse Image Editor” and “MyEclipse UML” perspektive available and the needed Icons are missing.

So, what did I do wrong? It is not uisable in this way.

Thanks

I would suggest you try reinstalling Eclipse and MyEclipse to a brand new location and check if that works.

If you still run into issues, please paste the error messages being logged under <workspace>/.metadata/.log file.

Also, go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

I already tried that some time ago, with the same result.

There are no error messages now. Or do you mean some that may be produced during installation?

Also, go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

Can you try running MyEclipse with JDK 1.5 and check if the issue gets resolved. … we require Java 5 now to run MyEclipse… that might explain why only *some* features are not initializing.

[Lea001]

Hi,

I actually don’t know why it is running with JDK 1.4. I set the JAVA_HOME explicitly to 1.5 but nevertheless it says in the installation information that it is still 1.4.2..

Can you help with that again?

Thanks.

Edit: I tried that again at home and uninstalled all old Java stuff. Now it works here, running with 1.5. But I can’t do that at work I need both JDKs. Were do I have to change the settings – obviously JAVA_HOME is not the one to blame? I’m clueless, sorry :-(.

[Loyal Water]

You will have to point -vm in your eclipse.ini to JDK 1.5.

-vm <path-to-jdk>\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs ... 

[Lea001]

OK, thank you very much. It’s working now.

It would be nice to have a warning somewhere telling that starting MyEclipse with 1.4. causes these problems. It could have saved me several hours :-(.

But thank you for your kind help.

Your Welcome….
