When I try to open Preferences -> MyEclipse -> Application Servers, it’s failing to expand the tree control.

…I have been having a few problems with various plugins recently – to be honest I’m a bit lost by now.

Honestly sounds like a text-book “corrupt install”.

I would definately suggest you go into our Download area, and download the 5.5 GA All in One installer, and install it to a brand new location (not an existing one). This includes the JRE, Eclipse, MyEclipse and MyEclipse SNAPs all preconfigured to run with eachother as optimized as possible. It’s our “best case” install.

After you are done with the install, reopen your existing workspace and continue working.

I’ve tried that, but still no luck. “Product Configuration” shows that MyEclipse\eclipse\Eclipse Project SDK 3.2.2.r322 had a few items which were not loaded due to errors:
– org.eclipse.jdt.souce_…
– org.eclipse.pde.souce_…
– org.eclipse.platform.souce_…

I’m still unable to open “Preferences->MyEclipse->Application Servers”

I’ve just deleted all old Eclipse and MyEclipse installations, rebooted Windows and then reinstalled the All-in-one installer.

Still no luck. Somehow Eclipse seems to have remembered all of my preferences – which is good except that I suspect that the MyEclipse “Application Servers” config is corrupt – where’s the raw data held? Can I edit a text file?

What I really want to do is to send some parameters (run -b 0.0.0.0) to JBoss when it’s being launched, but now that my MyEclipse installation is corrupt I can’t do that.

Try File > Switch Workspace, and create a new workspace and hit OK. Does the app server list display correctly? If not, then your install is still corrupt, if it does show up, then your old workspace is corrupt.

I’d actually resorted to this last night before you suggested it. Yes, the workspace is corrupt (and was probably the problem right from the start). I guess there’s a problem in one of the text files at
C:\Documents and Settings\nick\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings.

If I open a new workspace, I’m able to set the Application Server properties using the MyEclipse GUI, but if I open the old workspace the Application Servers menu won’t open. To acheive my objective, I could edit the file “com.genuitec.eclipse.easie.jboss4.prefs” and add/set the line “SERVER_STARTUP_ARG=-c default -b 0.0.0.0”.

I haven’t had a chance to test this yet, but I’m pretty confident I’m on the right track. Obviously, I’d much prefer to be able to use the MyEclipse GUI to make these changes rather than go hunting for the text files. It could take me a lot of time to get a new workspace back to the state it used to be. Would you be able to send me a modified jar that will write a message to the log when it detects a corrupt file? …My workspace was working okay until I upgraded to MyEclipse 5.5 – so it must be that the new version is not backwards compatible with old workspaces somehow – I think you should fix that instead of requiring people to start off with new workspaces.

Thanks, Nick

Nick,
THe fastest thing is to try restarting with the -clean command line argument (https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/troubleshoot-using-the-clean-command-line-argument/) and see if that repairs your workspace. If not, the directions here on creating a new workspace are pretty quick, just a matter of importing all your old settings and projects:

[nalbion]

Neither of those worked.

Then it’s got to be a corrupted install if the new workspace didn’t do the trick.

What is the name of the EXE you are running to install MyEclipse each of these times we’ve tried and how big is that file?
