Running MyEclipse with my web app deployed to Tomcat server in debug mode. When I attempt to bring up the Java Editor I get:

A Virtual Machine Error has occurred.
You are recommended to exit the workbench…..

The message suggested I look in the .log file (not real specific on the log file location). This error appeared in the log for each edit attempt. What does it mean? Is there anything I need to do to prevent this from reoccurring?

Can you please post all the information we request in the [URL=http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-393.html]Posting Guidelines[/URL] thread at the top of this forum? That will give us some context so that we can determine if this is an installation issue, a configuration problem, or a bug. Thanks.

wtp-sdk-1.0M4 (Eclipse Web Tools Platform Project)

This is the problem, MyEclipse builds ontop of Web Tools, so by having a newer version of Web Tools installed, what is happening is Eclipse is loading all the newer WebTools plugins, and then MyEclipse goes to interacte with the webtools API it was built ontop of, and blows up because Eclipse has loaded the newer release (with a different API).

I highly suggest a clean install of just Eclipse 3.0.2 and MyEclipse 3.8.4 (or 4.0m1 if you like) for the most stable operation. Don’t use 4.0M1 if this is a production environment, let us get to the 1st RC before you plan on using it in production.
