I am running MyEclipse Version: 3.8.4
Build id: 200501171200-3.8.4

on Eclipse Version: 3.1.0
Build id: 200412162000

I have just started seeing the famed “cannot create part” errors when opening html files. JSPs and XML work fine. Strange thing is, HTML files used to work fine too.

I reinstalled eclipse, to toast all non-standard plugins and also tried toasting my Eclipse configuration directory. All to no avail.

So I ended up toasting my workspace, re-importing my project and now I can load HTML files.

I am wondering if the problem was caused by another plugin? I recently installed the QuickReX regular expression plugin. Assuming that was the cause, I tried first disabling it and then removing the files from the Eclipse plugins and features directories but that didn’t help.

To avoid having to re-import and configure all my settings, I was wondering if there’s a way I could correct any incompatibilities manually in the meta data?

Thanks.

p.s.

Not that I expect this to help, since it’s similar to all other reports of the same vein, here’s the top of the stack trace:

On using the Feature Update widget in Eclipse and selecting to update my plugins, I get these error messages:

Current configuration contains errors that are not corrected by the requested operation and more errors would be introduced. See details for more information.
—– Current configuration problems —–
MyEclipse Web Development Tooling (3.8.4) requires plug-in “org.eclipse.core.runtime (3.0.0)”, or equivalent.
—– Configuration problems after the operation —–
MyEclipse Web Development Tooling (3.8.4) requires plug-in “org.eclipse.core.runtime (3.0.0)”, or equivalent.
Java EMF Model (1.0.1) requires feature “org.eclipse.emf (2.0.1)”, or compatible.
Visual Editor (1.0.1) requires feature “org.eclipse.emf (2.0.1)”, or compatible.

I then checked my eclipse installation and the only org.eclipse.core.runtime I have is 3.1.0. Should I get an old version of 3.0 and insert that into my plugins folder?

After renaming my .metadata\plugins directory, restarting eclipse and then comparing the earlier version with the vanilla meta data, I methodically went through and hosed plugins that I no longer had installed.

I’m not sure which was the problem one (it wasn’t QuickReX as I had guessed) but after killing off a bunch, I managed to restart eclipse and now I can edit HTML files.

So, I guess this thread is more of a “don’t give up” to users with the same problem, rather than a “please help me” from you guys.

Cheers.
