I have been trying to install DevStyle plugin fruitlessly for the last three hours but I keep getting this error message “”Given how DevStyle intercepts certain components of this IDE, it is recommended to restart now. Continue with restart?” And, when I do a restart of the IDE, nothing happens and I am presented with the same error message. As seen forums, I have tried re-installing Eclipse and reinstalling DevStyle, none of this worked either.
Are there any other alternative solutions that I can try at the moment? Thanks in advance.

We did have a bug that exhibited exactly this behavior, but it has been fixed for a few releases now. Can you tell me what version of Eclipse you are using (specific distribution too, if you are aware), what OS, and whether this is a 32 or 64 bit install?

Finally, how are you installing DevStyle? Dragging and dropping from the marketplace into Eclipse or some other way? Did you by any chance install the Icon Designer as well?

Here are the details:

Scala IDE build of Eclipse SDK
Build id: 4.7.0-vfinal-2017-09-29T14:34:02Z-Typesafe
Eclipse Standard/SDK
Version: 4.7.0

I am using a Mac. 64 bit install.

I open the Eclipse Marketplace within Eclipse and then install the DevStyle plugin. Yes, I installed the Icon Designer as well. However, I unchecked this option and tried installing DevStyle, but the same issue persists.

Eclipse 4.7.1 (Oxygen)
Scala IDE 4.7.0

I was able to replicate this issue myself – I believe the problem is specific to Scala IDE (it works with other Oxygen distributions), probably caused by the unique way in which Scala IDE modifies Eclipse, conflicting with the tech that DevStyle is using.

I’ll ask our dev team to take a closer look tomorrow and see if a simple workaround can keep you going; we’ll take a look at fixing this for our next release. Sorry I couldn’t be of more immediate help.

Thanks so much, Brian. That’d be really helpful. Look forward to the workarounds!

Hi Brian, were you able to check with your dev team for some workarounds?

Aplogies, but we haven’t yet come up with a workaround but are still looking at it. Please bear with us for a little longer and, hopefully, we’ll come up with something.

We have investigated this issue and found that for some reason the weaving/runtime by Scala is stopping a DevStyle URL Handler from correctly registering causing DevStyle to fail. Unfortunately right now we cannot think on any solution or workaround for this issue but maybe someone from the Scala team has an idea.

Thanks!

a678v,

Whilst checking to see if there is anything on the Scala-IDE web site which might help, I noticed that you can install Scala-IDE from an update site, on top of a standard eclipse package. I tried this and didn’t see the problems that we were able to reproduce on the stand-alone Scala-IDE.

If you give this a try, please let us know how you get on.

[a678v]

Thank you for the tip. I was able to install the Scala IDE on my existing Eclipse installation. It seems ok for now, I will keep you posted nevertheless.

[support-tony]

That’s great news. Thanks for letting us know.
