… with only the OK and Cancel buttons; no entries to choose from.

I think entries are there, just not showing, because if I press OK
I get AOP entries. I can’t resize the window to show the EJB entry.
(I’m trying to do the EJB development section out of your new documentation.)

I’m using a clean install of Eclipse 3.0.1 with MyEclipse 3.8.2 installed
from the update site and the two latest patches applied.

I’m running on Fedora Core 2 Linux with kernel 2.6.8.1-521.
Using Sun jdk 1.4.2_05.

The only other plugins installed are those from the Eclipse site;
GEF, EMF, etc plus the CDT plugin.

How can I get XDoclet working for EJB generation?
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Sandy

What GTK version and theme are you using. If you are using a non-standard theme or fonts they may cause this problem.

Hi, Greg:

The Linux installation is pretty new, too.
I haven’t really messed with themes or fonts.
I did install some fonts that mplayer required.

According to gnome-theme-manager I’m using the Bluecurve theme
which is the standard one that installs with fc2.

How do I check if I’m using the right fonts?

Thanks for your help,
Sandy

The “Add Standard” dialog reads the following file for its configuration information:

<MYECLIPSE_INSTALL_DIR>/eclipse/plugins/com.genuitec.jboss.ide.eclipse.xdoclet.run_3.8.X/resources/standards.xml

Verify that this file exists and contains data. Also, when you bring up this dialog, does it generate any errors in the Eclipse error log (Window > show view > PDE runtime > Error log or <WORKSPACE_DIR>/.metadata/.log ) ?

I have the same problem. It only shows the OK and cancel buttons.
What I figured out is that the entries are there, the box is just too small. And it can not be resized.
If I just hit OK, then standard AOP is added to the xdoclet configurations.
Any configuration file I can change to set size default of the dialog box?

I’m running Redhat Fedora Core 3.

[Greg]

No, but in the upcoming release that will addressed. You will be able to resize that Dialog.

Can you use the down arrow to select another item? You can also try to change your GTK theme to the default theme.

Greg, Riyad, Sole and hbentel:

After going so far as trying to build gtk from source (and failing) I finally found the answer
by doing a Google search and finding a post in your own forums (topic 4519 below).
Like Michael, I had gtk2-2.4.13-1 installed. I found a gtk2-2.4.10-something.rpm
by doing a Google search and downgraded by using “rpm -Uvh –oldpackage the-2-4-10-package”.
Now the MyEclipse dialog box works (but gnome-desktop-printing doesn’t; I’ll live with that).

I guess there is some kind of bug in gtk2-2.4.13-1 and these three threads are related:

https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/myeclipse-xdoclet-add-standard-gives-empty-win-closed/

Sole and hbentel, what are your gtk2 versions?

Sandy,

Thank you very much for taking the time to search our forums and find the answer within them for us. 🙂

Sometimes, we have so much stuff online and answer so many questions we don’t even know what we know.

Hi,
I’ve got gtk2-2.4.13-9.

[soulsolu]

Fedore core 3. gtk2-2.4.13-9 and I have the same problem.

I reported this tonight over in the J2EE forum.

Do you guys have a fix for this yet, or do you know if you’re planning to fix it soon with a fixpak?

Thanks! Scott

[soulsolu]

Oh yah, by the way, the choices are there, if I use TAB to move around the dialog I can get to the little tiny toy list box and use the up/down arrow keys to make a different selection appear when I hit OK – if I try enough times I get the Standard EJB setting.

Scott

[Greg]

In 3.8.3 (coming soon), all data-selection dialogs are resizable so you can simply resize the dialog to see the entries.
