Hello,
Have been trying to install myEclipse IDE unsuccessfully. Am using eclipse 3.0.1 and have tried myEclipse 3.8.2 and 3.8.4 manual installation.

The extensions seem to install ok, log files report everything normal, but there is no myEclipse toolbar menu at the top and no myEclipse projects, files etc. When I look in the software updates>maage configuration all the myEclipse add-ins are there and appear to be registering ok. Though if I try to download updates it tells me there is a problem with the install.

using jdk 1.5. I get the following log when I start eclipse…

!SESSION Mar 14, 2005 23:42:56.859 ———————————————
eclipse.buildId=unknown
java.version=1.5.0
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=en_AU

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 4 Mar 14, 2005 23:42:56.875
!MESSAGE Category com.genuitec.eclipse.views.myEclipseCategory not found for view org.eclipse.monitor.view. This view added to ‘Other’ category.

I assume this is why none of the myEclipse IDE loads properly. ANy help would be appreciated.

Regards,
SImonk

Though if I try to download updates it tells me there is a problem with the install.

This is a bug we caught after we released 3.8.4, it is harmless (one of our features.xml file registers Eclipse 3.0.0 as a requirement IIRC).

Simonk,
Are you using the Eclipse SDK and NOT the Eclispe JDT/RCP/Platform installs? You need the entire SDK for MyEclipse to install/run correctly.

Also why does your log file say “eclipse.buildId=unknown”? Are you using a custom or nightly build?

Thanks for the prompt reply. It would appear that the zip file for eclipse that was given to staff members in our company was missing a few of the plugins. MyEclipse obviously needed them to initialise properly as aftwer i updated eclipse the myEclipse install worked instantly.

As for the eclipse version unknown log, I would suggest that this was due to the incomplete install of myEclipse. The eclipse package name is eclipse-platform-3.0.1-win32.zip which appears to be the same version as the one online. Havn’t had a chance to check the file size but nmy copy is only 25.6Mb…now that I think of it isn’t the eclipse package meant to be about 65Mb?

Anyway its working now (after 250Mb of updates), so thanks for your help. In th efuture I will make sure I download the latest versions instead of getting them off someone else.

Actually more like 85mb for the 3.0.1 SDK…

Wow, I’m glad it’s working and thanks for troubleshooting that so effectively.

No problem….as for the updates…more than half of them are unnecessary for our development environment, but now that I have the packages the other other installs only took 10 minutes each 🙂 and we dont have to download them again.

Once again, thanks for your fast response and support!
