Hi there
I recently unistalled the 3.8.0 beta then downloaded and installed the new 3.8.2 GA release. Since I am not upgrading though the web site I have not followed the instructions in url: http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2%2Bfile-viewtopic-t-4029.html inc. the “eclipse -clean” option.
Anyway, on startup I generate the following log message 😥 :-
ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi Oct 09, 2004 01:09:04.546

Anyone go any ideas as the new release looks awesome?

Daniel,
The changes between 3.8 Beta 2 and 3.8.2 are massive. I’d suggest that the easiest way to get you up and running isn’t to diagnose and try to “fix” your current installation, but to simply unzip a fresh copy of Eclipse 3.0.1 and install 3.8.2 on top of it. Then, once you’ve verified that it’s running correctly with a fresh workspace, just relauch it and point it to your existing 3.8.0 workspace.
Scott,
Thanks for getting back to me. After a bit of investigation, I have found a posting that suggested I deleted my eclipse/configuration dir which I did and after a couple of minutes, following a restart my eclipse + MYEclipse IDE was restored. I guess this begs a few questions: what does this delete do and why is the config.ini no longer required?
Regards
Daniel
Daniel,
The reason that worked is that there are a few bugs in the config caching mechanism in 3.0. I believe they’ve been addressed in 3.0.1. In any case, all it does is delete cached state and forces a complete rebuild of the configuration.
Scott,
The rebuild seems to exclude the config.ini: so will this cause any problems going forward? Also, back to your original comment, would a clean reinstall of Eclipse 3.01 and MyEclipse 3.8.2 still be worth undertaking, say to ensure at stable and complete development platform ( and perhaps testing my installation documentation 😉 )

config.ini is an old, vestigal concept from Eclipse 2 and is no longer used.

Actually, it sure wouldn’t hurt to ensure that everything is tied up just right. Eclipse and MyEclipse both go through a lot of growth very quickly so sometimes a “fresh start” is the best insurance.
