Hi everyone,

I have a problem using MyEclipseIDE 4.1.1. When I create a new web project and want to add JSF capabilities the dialog does not appear. In fact, completely nothing happens. I checked the Eclipse log and found out that the following log messages are related to the problem:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 4 2006-03-07 11:14:36.965

I tried the same with MyEclipseIDE 4.1 and everything was fine. So it seems to be related to the 4.1.1 version. Below you’ll find my configuration details.

Stephan,

The issue is likely that the Eclipse plugin cache got stale as it sometimes
does not cleanly rebuild after updates. To rectify the problem you’ll need
to restart Eclipse with the -clean flag one time: eclipse.exe -clean

That should resolve the problem.

Hi Scott,

I already tried the -clean option but it did not solve the issue. Anyhow, in the meantime I have reinstalled the 4.1.1 version and use it with a new workspace. As a result, the mentioned problem has gone for now.

Regards,
Stephan

Unfortunately, it seems like the problem is back again. I just created a new web project using the wizard. After having finished this I hit the “Add JSF Capabilities…” button …. and nothing happens. I checked the log and found the error messages from the log extract above. Well, in addition there is another log message that might be of interest for you (“unable to locate .myeclipse.properties file”). Last but not least: Restarting the Eclipse with the -clean option does not solve the problem. The error is still there.

Any idea?

Regards,
Stephan
