Hi:

I have Eclipse 2.1.3 installed along with MyEclipseIDE 2.8 Beta1. I have created a Web Module Project using the Wizard. But when I try to “Add JSF Capabilities” to the project I running into the following error. Thanks in advance for the help.

We would strongly encourage you to upgrade to Eclipse 3.0.1 and MyEclipse 3.8.2 (3.8.3 will be released in early december), does this sound feasible to you?

[JIANHAN RONG]

Thanks for the quick response. But at the moment it’s not feasible. Since our team still using Eclipse 2.1.3 at the moment. We will be upgrading to Eclipse 3.0 in the future. Is this a issue with the MyEclipseIDE 2.8? If so might be a good reason to upgrade.

[Riyad Kalla]

MyEclipse 2.x is based on the Eclipse 2.x platform, development efforts in that are were completely overwhelmed by interest in the Eclipse 3.x support with MyEclipse 3.x so we haven’t gotten a chance and might not get a chance to go back to MyEclipse 2.8 and wrap it up. THere have litterally hundreds of bug fixes and enhancements to the MyEclipse platform between version 2.8 and 3.8.2… I would highly encourage you to upgrade to not only Eclipse 3.0.1 but MyEclipse 3.8.2.

Most all of the really cool bells and whisltes in MyEclipse are in the 3.x stream and cannot be backported because they rely on the Eclipse 3.x platform.

Cool! Well do. Thanks.
