Very cool use of W4T, need some status indicators but otherwise very cool.
This download is bigger than my entire operating system… =(, total size is 635mb, that sound right?
EDIT: OMG
I have to point out right about now that this install is not something I would ever consider “Common use case”, but I will still keep playing.
I would point out on boot I get a huge number of exceptions already in the log file with this setup, fresh install, fresh workspace.
Log file: http://www.box.net/public/static/6l1p91lf77.logSo I unzipped a clean copy of MyEclipse 5.0M2 and added it as an extension point. After restart I opened the MyEclipse persecitve. After creating a Web Project I got an “Error loading Vex” configuration… no idea what that is so I just hit OK.
I added JSF capabilities and created a new JSP page using the JSF template, but the editor won’t load due to a known issue in M2 that requires you to restart using -clean, so I did that. I added -clean to the top of the eclipse.ini file and erased the .log file to let a new one get created, here’s the new .log file immediately after boot (NOTE: I have yet to see any errors in the Problems view, so I’m not seeing the same issues you were): http://www.box.net/public/static/xh98kzudc2.log
Notice that all the messages about dependencies already being loaded (which I mentioned were harmless above) are from MyEclipse because we ship alot of these callisto dependencies. Notice that all the startup exceptions (actual problems) are from other plugins… so far so good.
Now I can edit my JSP and everything seems to work fine:
I also created a deployment and debugged my application, all of it working. So as far as I can tell with a clean install of the Yoxos build and MyEclipse 5.0M2 and a new workspace, everything works fine.
Let me know which steps I didn’t perform correctly if I made a mistake.
Nope, you did things just like I did. I’ve already sent all those Other errors to the Yoxos team and they’re working on them.
The only thing I noticed in what you are looking at is that you are looking at the “Problem View” were as I was looking at the
“PDE Error Log View”.Other than that, yes, what you’ve done is what I did. My only problem (beyond the one we’re talking about) is that for some reason
I can’t deply to Apache Tomcat 5.5 – but it’s probably a misconfiguration on my part somewhere.my install was into /var/eclipse — surprisingly that is a custom location on my system. I created the dir with mkdir
so there should be no possibility of contamination from some kind of default linux install of eclipse – I block the linux rpm install
of eclipseis this what you mean?
one thing I’ve found during the day, I was continually getting mevenide errors so I booted it (I actually rm’d all the mevenide features and plugins). Since then, the whole system has been a lot more stable however, I’m still getting random UI hangs.
Woops, I was referring to your comment about not being able to deploy to Tomcat. If you open the MyEclipse deployment manager, when you create a deployment you have 3 default choices (External, Custom Location, Custom Location prefixed) and then additionally any app servers you configured. I was just suggesting if you are having a problem deploying, try a simple “Custom Location” deployment to some random location like /tmp/myproject to see if deployment works.
This might be a little confusing cause all of WTP will be enabled too in this configuration, so make sure you are using the MyEclipse deployment tool (from the tool bar, looks like a black server and little folder with arrows to/from each other. Next to the other icon that looks like a server with a Play icon next to it)
ah, yes, I have having problems deploying to Tomcat – of course, I’ve always had problems with Tomcat – it’s just not very user friendly – too much encapsulation with too little documentation 🙂
I’ll give your suggestion a try – somehow my default Tomcat homepage has now been fragged – so, I’m going to think a bit before I do too much of anything at the moment.
Thanks again for all your help and patience.
update. I’ve been working with the eclipse people on this and other issues and they asked me to start Eclipse with a few command line parameters that they thought might produce a bit more info.
I’ve added -consolelog -debug and this is the output
http://www.box.net/public/m8ug9av4oo
It contains a bit more detail on the issue.
Kevin,
I think I’m confused where we stand on this. I was able to install giant-bundle from yoxos and MyEclipse and use both products successfully… are we trouble shooting some other issue?I think I’m confused too.
I have been able to get MyEclipse to work within the Yoxos distribution. However, I’m stlll getting the Errors in the PDE Error View
and in my .logI know that you said that I could safely ignore these errors, but since I had to do additional data collection for the Eclipse people
and the Yoxos people, I thought that I would pass along the same information to you just in case it might be valuable.As far as I’m concerned, since you’ve said I don’t need to worry about the errors, I’m happy. Eclipse/MyEclipse/Yoxos is working
I was just passing along this information just in case it might be helpful. If it’s not, then you can safely ignore it.Cheers and Thanks a bunch. You were very gracious and helpful.
KevinAhh good deal, I was just making sure I didn’t get my wires crossed and miss anything.
If anything comes up please let me know, I still have my yoxos install for testing on my end as well.
I’ve filed this issue with the Eclipse people too. Bug #151882
They seem to think there might be some interaction between Eclipse and MyEclipse.
I’m going to post this set of conversations over there unless you have an objection
Baseline Test:
downloaded linux-gtk Callisto from Eclipse – installed to new directory, new project
so far no UI freezesI’m going to work with the for a few hours to test, then I’m going to add in the MyEclipse extension
and report backRiyad,
much of this is not relevant to you, but there are still a lot of
MyEclipse errors and it might be valuable to look at what I uploaded
in the Eclipse bug section just in case it helps youKevin
=================Here is a new summary (and I’m going to upload .metadata/.log and Confugration
detail and History.html) [please refer to Eclipse bug #151882 for all the attachments]Installed clean Eclipse linux-gtk. Started. Autoupdate kicked in as noted in
previous message. Installed all updates listed. Previously noted errors in .log
file.Ran for a while, no freezes in UI.
Closed. Opened. Ran for a while. No freezes in UI.
Install MyEclipseIDE. Lots of warnings, errors in .log file but no UI freezes
or lack of functionality. Followed MyEclipse directions as previously outlined.Updated existing plugins ( Find and Install -> Currently Installed )
checked everything that showed up [On a side note, several sites had network
errors or misconfigurations – this is directly from the Eclipse plugins]errors for update sites (Eclipse not MyEclipse)
checked Manage Configuration – no disabled pluginsRan for a while. No freezes in UI.
Closed. Opened. Ran for a while, no freezes in UI.
Updated again. (Find and Install -> Search for new items )
checked everything to install (251 items, only needed 128 because the “install
latest version” was checked, including MyEclipse Mattisseafter download and continueing – immediately got a pop up saying there was a
version conflict between J2EE in eclipse directory and in MyEclipse directory –
the MyEclipse version ( 20060706…) was higher than the eclipse one
(200606…)I clicked continue anyway.
isntallation finished, restarted, everything appears fine. Ran for a while, no
UI freezes. EVerything seems to be working fine.However, as you can see from the .log, there are a lot of things that appear as
errors both in the Eclipse environment as well as MyEclipse. The MyEclipse
people tell me that all their errors aren’t really errors and I shouldn’t worry
about them.On a completely weird side note – when I went to Manage Configuration this
time,two to the entries had misconfigured information. I will try to isolate
this for you but since I can’t cut and paste from the Manage Configuration
information I’m going to have to type – I probably am going to make mistakes
with those version numbersWST Project SDK 1.5.0.v200606092300-2YKsYkftnYYU8Om

–>WST Common UI Feature Source
—>%FeatureName
->WST Server Plug-In Developer Resources
–>Source for WST Server UI Features
—>%featureNameSummary: it is appearing that MyEclipse is not the culprit for the UI freezes –
now I’m going to start adding in some of the other plug-ins from the Yoxos
distribution one at a time.
