Well you are not going to like my answer………….

311 occurrences for org.eclipse.wst and 196 occurrences for org.eclipse.jst….. This is searching for files and folders under the eclipse directory.

Well atleast we are getting somewhere. I want to point out that if you are using the All-In-One installer, there should be *no* WST or JST plugins under the Eclipse dir, which is what is causing this conflict.

Since I think you have been following my instructions, but are still getting the text-book conflict failure *and* are finding all those plugins under the dir they shouldn’t be under… I wonder if something really silly is going on here, like you are installing to some other directory but actually using your own shortcut to launch and relaunch MyEclipse?

Just incase you haven’t been following my instructions to a T (sometimes they sound redundant to users) I want to reiterate them line by line so we can make sure everything is on the up-and-up:

1) Redownload the MyEclipse 5.1.0 All-In-One installer from our download section, it should be around 270mb. Just to make sure we aren’t going nuts, download it to a new dir, like C:\Test
2) Run the installer under C:\Test and install it to a directory that absolutely, without a doubt, doesn’t exist already (manually check it ahead of time).
3) When asked where to create a shortcut, give the Start Menu group a new name to make sure you aren’t conflicting with and existing install since we’ve tested this so many times. Something like “MyEclipse 5.1.0 – Riyad” or something like that.
4) After the install it does, go to Start > All Programs > MyEclipse 5.1.0 – Riyad and click the Enterprise Workbench icon.
5) When it pops up asking you for a new workspace, give it a new directory that has never existing before, like C:\Test\workspace
**6) At this point you should see the welcome screen and after closing it, a workspace with no projects.
7) Create a new web project with a single JSP in it, and open it up.

It’s tiring BUT so important that you follow these instructions to the letter, if you are simply unzipping your same old copies of Eclipse that you had lying around, or reusing old directories that already exists or old workspaces, that’s why we aren’t making any progress.

okay…things are working……..

I downloaded ALL-IN-ONE on 2/22/07 and today… The difference is SVN plugin is no longer there although the size is the same. I double checked and installed each in a fresh new directory.

I’m glad it’s working now. The SVN plugin has actually never been packaged with MyEclipse, it’s a 3rd party plugin (there are actually 2, Subclipse and Subversive). Either way, I’m just glad you are up and running again, thanks for hanging in there.
