Installed Eclipse M9 build on Linux system (previously using M8 build with MyEclipseIDE). Attempting to install EnterpriseWorkbench v3.8 Beta-1, but the installer won’t let me specify the Eclipse directory. The dialog box says:

… It should be named ‘eclipse’ and will directly contain a file called .eclipseproduct”

I renamed the directory containing eclipse, in case that was the issue, although I did not want to do that. However, there is no file called “.eclipseproduct”. I have run Eclipse M9 from that directory succcessfully, so that works. A directory listing for the eclipse directory shows:

Are you on Gentoo? Did you emerge the Eclipse SDK or JDT, or is this Eclipse platform? You need to be using the SDK or JDT for MyEclipse to install correctly. Also make sure that perms on /opt/eclipse allow for the installer to write to it.

This was my error – the Eclipse M9 wasn’t installed properly. Sorry about the false alarm.

No problem. Glad to hear you’re up and running.
