Hi,

Will the MyEclipse plugin work on Solaris 2.9-Eclipse 3.0? Has anyone tried with success?

Also, will it work with J2SE? (I’m not working with J2EE yet)

Thanks

If you can get Eclipse to run on Solaris then you will be able to run MyEclipse. Also MyEclipse is a J2EE plugin for Eclipse, so unless you need help working with JSP pages, servlets, struts apps, hibernate and all that type of web development, then there really is no need to use MyEclipse, Eclipse will provide you all that J2SE functionality right now.

Did that help?

I’m interested in the visual design WYSIWYG development, validation and and real-time preview for HTML, CSS, Javascript, SQL, XML etc…prior to migrating to J2EE. There doesn’t seem to be any other plugin with such comprehensive coverage of the popular web technologies with the exception of PHP.

Thanks

Ohh yes, then ME is a good fit, I didn’t realize you wanted that additional functionality.

The editors (HTML, XML, etc.) are really fantastic and the designer is excellent and growing in functionality every day. Also the DB explorer and SQL support is on par with with the other excellent plugins out there as well but getting additional functionality very quickly.

I would encourage you to download MyEclipse, you can trial it for 30 days and see if you like it: http://www.myeclipseide.com/ContentExpress-display-ceid-10.html

😀 Perrrrrfect…It’s a definite go.

Thanks for the quick response!

P.S.: PHP support in the future?

[Riyad Kalla]

All of our features are determine by user demand, PHP might be a tough sell only because MyEclipse is technically a “J2EE IDE”…

But using a php plugin along side MyEclipse might give you exactly what you want.

This is a question for gmcafee … did you get the WYSIWYG, JSP, HTML preview working on solaris? If so what browser are you using? Did you build your own binary or where did you get the binary from?

I’m running solaris 2.9, with mozilla 1.5 binary as downloaded from the sun site. On the JSP editor the preview does not appear, and when I try to open HTML with the MyEclipse Web Browser I see errors “org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles” in the .log file. (Although the eclipse help pages open fine). Any help would be greatly apprecieated.

Thanks
Sharon

To get the Web Browser to work, you need a version of mozilla, greater than 1.4, that is compiled with gtk2 support. Here is the eclipse FAQ section on this subject:

Hi Greg,
Thanks for the fast reply.
I am using Mozilla 1.5 and the version from sun download site claims to have gtk2 support. I have spent quite a lot of time trying to get this to work (and yes I have read the FAQ and all the other posts I could find on this subject). That is why I was wondering if somebody else had success on solaris 9.

Regards
Sharon

Sharon,

Oh I see, unfortunately we don’t have a solaris machine here to test with. If you get it working, let us know and we can post your information to our FAQ site.
