Hi,

Sorry to bug you with yet another basic installation problem.

I am running Eclipse version 3.0.1 (build id: 200409161125) on Mac OSX (10.3.5 with Java 1.4.2 Update 2).

Eclipse was freshly installed for MyEclipse.

There are no other external plugins installed.

There are no plugins in the /plugins directory of the type org.eclipse.pde.*

I am using the 30-day trial version of MyEclipse version 3.8.2.

My JDK version is:
—————
java version “1.4.2_05”
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-141.3)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-38, mixed mode)
—————

This is an excerpt from my Eclipse log file:

It looks from the log that the MyEclipse perspective was added to the “other” menu but I don’t see it when I run Eclipse.

I installed Eclipse. Manually installed MyEclipse. Added an extension location for MyEclipse using the Eclipse “Manage Configuration” tool. Was prompted to restart. Restarted. Looked for the MyEclipse perspective in the Window/Open Perspective/Other menu item. Nothing.

Every component of MyEclipse registers in the “Manage Configuration” tool as properly installed and configured. MyEclipse shows up in the Eclipse/About Eclipse Platform menu item with its own MyEclipse icon. It also shows up under Feature Details. But no MyEclipse perspective anywhere.

I’ve looked everywhere on the web and the documentation. I’ve also tried deleting the configuration folder in the Eclipse installation folder.

Thanks very much for your time.

There are no plugins in the /plugins directory of the type org.eclipse.pde.*

This is the problem, you need to install/use the Eclipse SDK (~85MB) not the Platform or JDT installs of Eclipse.

As I was afraid of – a fundamental misunderstanding on my part. Thanks for your help, MyEclipse is up and running veeery well indeed.
