I have been a rather happy myeclipseide user for about a month. The primary reason I use the extension is the great jsp editing. Truly a nice peice of functionality – particularly the code completion.
One of my favoriate features quit working the other day though, and try as I might I can’t get it to come back…. Custom tag content assist.
My config is: eclipse 3.1m5, myeclipseide v 3.8.whatever was before 3.8.4.
I have tried to get this working again with 3.1m6 and meide3.8.4 and several other combinations… to no avail.
The particulars:
at the top of the jsp is a static include to a page that contains all of my tag lib references:
<%@ include file="/WEB-INF/content/common/taglibs.jsp" %>Then as i type along I used to be able to open a tag from one of the referenced libraries like <c:forEach and then pressing CTRL + SPACE would bring up the list of suggested attributes, noting which ones were mandatory and which ones were not. This feature stopped working a few days ago and try as I might I can’t get it back….
If there is any detail i can provide – preferences, project settings, anything, I will – I just want it to work like it did before. This one feature has saved me quite a bit of time, as I use a large number of tag libraries – many that are being actively developed in house, and memorizing the attributes – or just not typoing them is a pain sometimes.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Brian GreeneI have tried to get this working again with 3.1m6 and meide3.8.4 and several other combinations… to no avail.
Besides updating Eclipse, please note that there is a specific 3.1M6 compatible build of MyEclipse that you need to redownload and install. Also keep in mind that after doing the reinstallation of both it is suggested to use a new workspace or atleast restart Eclipse using the -clean command line argument to let it rebuild the plugin cache in the old workspace to avoid incompatabilities.
I did everything you suggested, and actually recieved a really nice error when adding the extension point:
Requested operation cannot be performed because it would invalidate the current configuration. See details for more information.
MyEclipse Web Development Tooling (3.8.4) requires plug-in “org.eclipse.core.runtime (3.0.0)”, or equivalent.This is when manually adding the extension point as I am continually running into the cannot load jvm.dll problem….
This is adding the extension point to a brand spanking new 3.1 m6 installatoin with all .my* files removed from the project and in a clean workspace. Why is 3.8.4 that requires 3.1m6 barfing at eclipse core runtime 3.0.0?
Brian,
Please give me the exact names of the files you are using to install Eclipse and MyEclipse, I will go download them now and try and reproduce this.The files are:
myeclipse_030804_3.1M6Beta.zip
eclipse-SDK-3.1M6-win32.zipNote – I am not using a wizard generated project, rather an existing codebase that I imported. Also note – until just the other day this feature worked fine… i only wish I could recall what I did to change it… I’d undo it in a hurry.
I just downloaded both these files and unzipped them to C:\Java\eclipse-3.1m6 and C:\Java\myeclipse-3.8.4m6, then I fired up Eclipse, went to Help > Soft Updates > Manage Config, right click > Add Extension, pointed at my MyEclipse install and hit OK to restart.
Are you absolutely positive you aren’t pointing at your old MyEclipse install when trying to add the extension? I’ve never seen anyone complain about this combination and report the error you are seeing, I’m fairly certain it must be a simply little mix up that may be occuring.
Just for our sanity sake, you can try unzipping the eclipse file to c:\temp and then MyEclipse to c:\temp\myeclipse (you need to make a dir for ME). Then fire up c:\temp\eclipse\eclipse.exe and walk trhoguh the steps I said above, making SURE you are using the c:\temp\myeclipse install. Then hit OK and let it restart.
Also are you using JDK 1.4+? What does java -version report from your console?
I’m going to do this now, but I have a question – is this a jdk thing? I am only running 1.5… I’m also going to try this with jdk1.4+
So the configuration works in a new directory on a new drive. Still no tag completion…. Odd in that when eclipse first starts myeclipse will detect bad tags I intentionally put in jsps…. So I fix the tag, save the file and the error goes away. Then I edit the tag again to make it wrong and myeclipse won’t pick up the error. Upon an attempt to tag complete I get the error at the bottom left “Content assist not available at the current location”. What gives? Even manually rebuilding the project won’t have myeclipse find the bad tags again until I restart eclipse again. Grrr.
Please help.
brian, few things:
1) If you absolutely don’t need generics or other 1.5 features, please don’t use a beta product on a beta platform and expect there not to be bugs.
2) Make sure you are telling Eclipse to start with JDK 1.4.2_08 (preferbly) by using -vm switch
3) Make sure your JDK’s /bin dir is in your system PATH environment var.beta product? jdk 1.5 or MyEclipse 3.8.4 for eclipse 3.1m6?
I expect there to be a few bugs – just not crippling ones.
I installed jdk 1.4.2_08 and tried all sorts of configurations… nothing. And no combination of arguments to the vm switch will start eclipse…
The JDK/bin directory is in the PATH – the first and only entry in the path that contains a jdk.At this point I would sacrifice the features of a newer eclipse version If I could just get the tag completion to work like its supposted to with my application configuration… I can’t quite figure out why it stopped to begin with…
As an aside – here’s a bug report for 3.1m6 and me 3.8.4. After running the installation – either manually or with the installer (i got it to work with another post on this forum), if you disable the me product extension and then attempt to re-enable it you cannot. That is tried several times.
So here’s the question now – what configuration with my web app layout will work?
beta product? jdk 1.5 or MyEclipse 3.8.4 for eclipse 3.1m6?
Eclipse and MyEclipse
I installed jdk 1.4.2_08 and tried all sorts of configurations… nothing. And no combination of arguments to the vm switch will start eclipse…
What do you mean “will start Eclipse”, is it erroring out with a startup exception? What is the error?
The JDK/bin directory is in the PATH – the first and only entry in the path that contains a jdk.
Ok.
So here’s the question now – what configuration with my web app layout will work?
I would highly suggest you do a clean install of Eclipse 3.0.2 and MyEclipse 3.8.4 for Eclipse 3.0.x. If you are still getting autocomplete issues, File > Export the project to a Zip and send it to support@genuitec.com ATTN Riyad with a link to this forum and a description of the problem. I will have a look.
