    I did the automatic update to 7.1.1 and myeclipse basically would no’t run. I was getting “Unable to write to master table” errors, so I tried a few things and gave up and re-downloaded myeclipse from here:
    http://www.myeclipseide.com/Downloads-index-req-getit-lid-142.html

    Now myeclipse will open and I was able to import an existing project, but when I try to open a Java file I get this:

    Could not read metadata for ‘/usr/local/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core/resources/.root/.indexes/properties.index
    Flushing content description cache.
    Show Console View
    (Too many open files)

    I get a similar error when I close myeclipse, can’t save .syncinfo for my project, too many open files.

    At this point I’m launching myeclipse with this command:

    /usr/local/myeclipse/myeclipse7.1/eclipse/eclipse -clean -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java -vmargs -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:PermSize=68M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M

    Please help! This is not a good time for this…

    Thanks.

    I won’t help on this topic but I just want to say that I have the exact same problem (also with Ubuntu 64bits).

    Is there something to do ?

    I’m using Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty 32 bits

    FormacionDigital,

    Please note MyEclipse is not supported Ubuntu 8.10+ (Please go through the release notes here – http://www.myeclipseide.com/module-htmlpages-display-pid-409.html )
    I have copy pasted the relevant contents here for you –
    MyEclipse 7.1 and all early versions are unstable on Ubuntu 8.10 and later systems. The root of the issue stems from a binary incompatibility between XUL Runner that is bundled in MyEclipse and XUL Runner that is bundled with the OS install.

    jslate73,cannelle,

    Currently MyEclipse is not supported on 64bit ubuntu. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Well, I was using myeclipse just fine and I got the “install updates dialog” on start up and, silly me, I hit “yes.” There was no way from that dialog to view the release notes (yes I suppose I could have gone online to view them but it wasn’t really even clear what update I was installing). So are you saying that all versions of myeclipse won’t run on 8.10? That doesn’t seem to be the case to me. And is there any straightforward way for me to go back to the previous version of myeclipse? Are there any plans to address this issue? Sorry, I’m finding all this rather frustrating. “Inconvenience” isn’t quite the phrase I’d choose.

    jslate73,

    If you have installed any updates using the MyEclipse Dashboard. Then you can un-install the update by going through MyEclipse > Manage MyEclipse plugins. This will open MyEclipse Dashboard, which is going to list the to-be installed and already installed MyEclipse updates. You can click on the relevant update and click on [un-install]. Let me know if this works for you.

    FWIW, in the last week I noticed Ubuntu updating XUL Runner.

    jslate73,
    While ME not completely supported on Ubuntu 8.10 and later it *does work* for a lot of folks.

    Wee did a full XUL Runner 1.9 update coming in MyEclipse 7.5 which should hopefully correct the Linux compatibility issue for you’ll.
