    Claus,
    There are two downloads for MyEclipse. One download for Eclipse 2.1.x and one download for Eclipse 3.x. On the respective download pages, in red, it is clear which version of MyEclipse the installer is suited for. If you are using Eclipse 3.0M6, you NEED to download the MyEclipse 3.7RC2 installer which is currently under the “Registered Members” area, which you should have access to because you mentioned you paid for it.

    With the 3.7GA release (~1 week away from release), there will no longer be necessity to be a subscribing member to download it. Both the 2.x GA series and 3.x GA series of MyEclipse (after the .7 release) will be available for free trial download to everyone.

    The 3.7 GA release that is due out will require Eclipse M7.

    klaas,
    We will need more detail from you to help you out. You got that stack trace from what? What version of Eclipse are you using? What version of MyEclipse? What JDK version are you using? What OS are you on? How did you install MyEclipse?

    Hi,

    I’ve just noticed that Eclipse 2.1.3 is out, and MyEclipse 2.7.1 too. Now I’ve updated ME online. Because I’m in the middle of very pressing work, I’d like to update Eclipse 2.1.3 too, because the fixes list is not too short, BUT without reinstalling Eclipse or MyEclipse. Is this possible?

    Thanks in advance,
    Victor

    Victor,
    Please backup your Eclipse workspace and install dir before you do this, but you MIGHT be able to just unzip 2.1.3 ontop of your previous 2.1 version and have everything work. You might need to erase the .config directory to clear any plugin caches, but I think it should still work fine.

    PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE NOT DONE THIS AND DON’T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

    Otherwise you will have to export your settings from your existing Eclipse to the new one, where you import them.

    Hmmm.. thanks for the warning 😉
    Anyone else who tried a online update?

    Victor,
    I hadn’t realized you were asking about the Online Update, I kind of assumed you were asking about a reinstall (my mistake). I’ve upgraded multiple times using Online Update and it worked fine. (both Eclipse and MyEclipse).

    Thanks Riyad,
    I’ve read just now your reply, it coincides with my “very fresh” experience: I’ve let the online update run over night for Eclipse, and it went fine and ok.
    Before, I was irritated by the yellow exclamation marks in the update manager, telling that some ME features load before E features. But it was ok.

    Thanks again,
    Victor

    Hi,
    this is maybe a silly question, but what is the update site for Eclipse ???

    Thanks,
    Les.

    Les,
    If you are asking so you can add it to the update manager, I think its mandatorily included in the update manager. I just double checked my Update manager and don’t see a URL anywhere for Eclipse, but it definately checks the Eclipse site when I check for new updates.

    If you were asking for another reason, then I don’t know. I wasn’t able to find the URL in the update manager.

    You don’t have to enter any update url, as soon it’s installed, the ME component knows it’s url by itself.

    Ok, Thanks a lot guys

    My system does not know the URL. What is it.

    The product knows the url. The procedure is detailed in the upgrade FAQ at:

    wk5657,
    That might suggest that there is either an install problem with MyEclipse, or there may be no updates available OR your current update settings are too strick so you aren’t seeing the 2.7.x series upgrades because you are running a 2.6.x series product?

    Please see here on how to loosen the restriction: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/update-site-search-doesn-t-list-2-7-0ga-closed/

    If that doesn’t work, can you explain your problem in more detail so we can help?

    If I try to download the latest Beta using the Search for Upgrades, it is not displayed. I am using the latest 2.7 Release.

    Whats wrong here?

    Best Regards,
    Thomas
