Hi, I’m trying to install in WinXP Pro.

1. Installed JDK 1.4.2_03, created JAVA_HOME and added C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03 to the front of the PATH. java -fullversion from the command line gives: << java full version “1.4.2-b28” >> so that seems ok.

2. Installed and ran Eclipse 2.1.2. Ran fine.

3. Installed MyEclipse 2.6.2 as per instructions. Ran the config on first Eclipse start, restarted Eclipse, comes up OK. However, when I check the Install Configuration perspective, all of the MyEclipse plugins show errors – generally of the “No plugin [plugin] included at runtime” sort. The MyEclipse perspective is not available.

Any ideas about what I’ve done wrong? Cheers

Have just checked the .log file in the C:\eclipse\workspace\.metadata folder and have seen a lot of curious entries:

!MESSAGE Plug-in “com.genuitec.eclipse.core” was disabled due to missing or disabled prerequisite plug-in “org.eclipse.jdt.core”.
!SUBENTRY 1 org.eclipse.core.runtime 2 1 Jan 11, 2004 14:17:57.121

Is this a bad Eclipse installation or something that the MyEclipse installer has buggered up? install folders are:

C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03
C:\eclipse
C:\MyEclipse

so it’s not spaces in folder names problems…

I’m guessing that you didn’t install the *full* version of Eclipse but just the JDT or something. MyEclipse requires everything, including the PDE, be installed. It does sound like a bad Eclipse installation though. I’d try uninstalling everything then installing and running Eclipse. When it’s up, create a Java project and check the log file to make sure everything is fine. If all’s well, shutdown and run the MyEclipse installer.

The same thing occurred to me. I had Eclipse 3.1 installed and I installed MyEclipse 4.0 (trial version). Further I uninstalled MyEclipse because I wouldn’t need it at that time. When I installed it again, it didn’t work anymore and a lot of errors like “No plugin [plugin] included at runtime” are shown at the Manage Configuration perspective. Eclipse is working fine, but no matter how many times I install MyEclipse it does not work anymore.

pquedes,
It’s most likely your base install that is the problem. If you would like some help with getting it setup, let me know.

Hello rkalla. First of all thanks for your answer.

While downloading the latest eclipse installer, I kept trying many ways to make MyEclipse run again, including installing and re-installing it many times. I can’t figure out why, but it only came to work when I removed a so-called %eclipse_home%/tempjsf and its subdirectories. After that, I reinstalled MyEclipse and it’s working fine. I didn’t need to change anything in Eclipse except by removing this strange directory. Its creation date was the same as the date I first installed MyEclipse. Do you know what does it mean?

[Riyad Kalla]

Hmm you have me stumped, I don’t know where that directory came from or more importantly, why it was stopping MyEclipse from functioning correctly. I’m glad it is working now however.
