I recently upgraded MyEclipse from 6.6 to 7.5. This was not easy, but using the manual method, I succeded in getting it to work.

One thing is not working, though. My subscription info is not saved between sessions. I have to go into the MyEclipse->Subscription Information dialog and enter my subscription info every time I restart MyEclipse.

I have checked the logfile, and I get the following when I enter the Subscription Information:

!ENTRY com.genuitec.eclipse.core 1 0 2009-08-07 14:31:43.204
!MESSAGE Unable to save MyEclipse global properties. \bgo6.tv2asa.no\ars$ is read-only.

My platform is Vista x64 and my userprofile folder is on a server, as you can see. This is set in a login script and is a company standard, so I cannot change it. The folder contains an empty .myeclipse.properties file. I tested writing to it, and it worked fine. I suspect that my installation problems are related to the same thing. I can live with this problem, as it only bothers me a couple of times a week, but I thought you would like to know about my problem.

Is this a bug in MyEclipse? I also wonder why you don’t use the AppData folder to store this file?

Is this a bug in MyEclipse?

This seems like some kind of a vista permission issue. Can you right click on the MyEclipse Shortcut and choose “Run As Administrator”. Does that resolve the issue?

Thanks for your reply!

I tried to run MyEclipse as Administrator, but i got the same result. The subscription info is not saved, and I get the same error in the log.

I wrote this small program to test writing to this folder myself:

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        String path = System.getProperty("user.home");
        System.out.println("User Home Path: " + path);

        File f = new File(path + "\" + "test.txt");
        try {
            f.createNewFile();
            FileWriter fw= new FileWriter(f);
            fw.append("This is a file");
            fw.flush();
            fw.close();
            System.out.println("File created: " + f.getAbsolutePath());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

This produces the following output:

User Home Path: \\\bgo6.tv2asa.no\ars$
File created: \\\bgo6.tv2asa.no\ars$\test.txt

The file is created with the expected content.

Moosehead,
Can you look for the .myeclipse.properties file on you machine and manually enter the subscription info. Does that save the information? This is the format of the file:-

LICENSE_KEY=
LICENSEE=

I’ll ask the dev team to look into this issue till then.

[Arne M. Størksen]

I manually entered the subscription information, and now it’s working! I can restart MyEclipse, and the info is still there. Thanks.

Moosehead,

Good to hear you are all set.
