All those errors are from Eclipse Monkey… so not that telling.
Did you try restarting using -clean?
Did you try a new workspace (File > Swich Workspace > C:\tempworkspace)
rkalla, thanks for your reply. I restarted with -clean, and I created a new workspace as instructed. The menu label remains incorrect.
Hmm very fishy. I am going to file a bug for the dev team to look into for 6.0.1.
If you had time you *could* try a brand new clean install using the All in One installer, to a new directory), but hopefully the menu issue is low-impact enough to not stop you from any work.
It is a low-impact issue, but I can confirm I’m seeing it rather persistent in several workspaces, even after running -clean on them.
TIA & HTH
TonBah… I thought I was starting to narrow in on a possible set of circumstances that caused the problem (had another user, on Linux, say he couldn’t get the menu to reset).
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll keep digging on this end.
Minor update: When running with the -clean switch, the Menu is Ok, but closing down, and re-opening the same workspace brings back the bad menu caption.
Switching to, or opening a complete new workspace displays the wrong menu caption as well.HTH
TonTon, thanks for the added detail… I’m seeing something different *but* having use-cases to ask other users to help narrow down is important. I will keep this in mind.

John,
Do you have the VSS plugin installed by chance? What additional plugins do you have installed to MyEclipse 6?I saw this problem briefly during testing when I added a certain combination of plugins, cleaned my install and it was gone, but it *did* happen… I just never narrowed down what it was.
Plugins installed:
viPlugin
Perforce

eclipse-csHi, I have got the same issue after upgrading from beta release to GA. I performed a few tests and found out that if I run the application by clicking link (command line E:\MyEclipse-6.0\eclipse\eclipse.exe -vm “E:\MyEclipse-6.0\jre\bin\javaw.exe”) then the label is absent. But if I run the application right from the eclipse directory by double-clicking the eclipse.exe (E:\MyEclipse-6.0\eclipse) file the issue disappears. It seems the problem with java machine (or more exactly with classpaths) that is given to the application. When I click it from link then the MyEclipse JVM copy is invoked as command line mentions, On the contrary , by clicking the exe file itself default systsem JVM is called. I have java 1.5_12. Hope this will help to trace the problem. Option -clean doesn’t help.
I also see %menu.myeclipse.label. On Windows XP Pro SP2, I used the ‘All-in-one Windows installer’ to install this version in a new folder. My workspace was created using MyEclipse 5.1.0GA. Starting with -clean doesn’t help.
I’ve found out that I first saw this wrong label after the installation of Mylyn. As soon as I deactivated Mylyn again, the error disappeared and the label was displayed correctly.
Maybe someone here can check if this is a Mylyn-specific issue.
Regards,
StephanWell, I don’t have the Mylyn plug-in installed, but still have this issue, so I guess it’s not (directly) Mylyn related.
Thnx
TonI have this issue too: clean install on Vista 32-bit/JDK 1.5, ran with “-clean”, created new workspaces, etc. Nothing worked. This problem bugged me so I poked around a bit and found something that might be meaningful to those familiar with building plug-ins for Eclipse (I am not). In the file “C:\Program Files\MyEclipse 6.0\eclipse\plugins\com.genuitec.eclipse.core_6.0.0.zmyeclipse60020070820\plugin.xml” I changed the reference on line 57 from ‘label=”%menu.myeclipse.menu.label”‘ to ‘label=”MyEclipse”‘. Then I created a new workspace. The menu now showed up as “MyEclipse”, however the MyEclipse perspective was totally broken (not sure why). I closed Eclipse, went back in and reverted the change in plugin.xml and relaunched the IDE. The perspective was now back in place and the menu still displays “MyEclipse”. The other workspaces I had created still display “%menu.eclipse….”. The takeaway from this? Perhaps the menu labels get read in literally from the XML file, without resolving references, when the workspace is created? Or maybe Eclipse is not using the plugin.properties file where the attribute is defined? Hopefully this will give the plug-in authors one more data point to help toward fixing the issue.
