Hi
I have just installed Eclipse 3.0M9 and MyEclipse 3.8 beta-1 on a Windows XP machine.
After opening up Eclipse I go into Window > Open Perspective > Other… to set the MyEclipse perspective. However, I cannot see the MyEclipse perspective in there ….. what am I doing wrong???
Previously when this happened, I had to delete the ‘.config’ directory and then start-up Eclipse …… but it seems that the new version of Eclipse doesn’t have a ‘.config’ directory, so how do I fix the problem???Cheers.
AndersAnders,
That sounds like an installation problem. Can you post the information we request in the Posting Guidelines thread at the top of this forum? That will give us the context we need to help run this down. By the way, the .config directory has been replaced by <eclipse-install-dir>/configuration, however this may or may not be the problem as M9 handles new configurations much better than M8.
Scott,
here’s my information:
Windows XP version 2002
Eclipse 3.0M9
-Freshly installed for MyEclipse
MyEclipse 3.8 beta-1
JDK 1.4.1
There is no error log present
I’m using Weblogic 6.1Steps I took to produce the error:
1) Renamed old Eclipse directory to ‘Eclipse-old’
2) Unistalled old version of MyEclipse from the program menu
3) Unzipped Eclipse 3.0M9 to C:\eclipse
4) Opened up Eclipse and closed it again
5) Installed MyEclipse into C:\MyEclipse
6) Opened up Eclipse by running ‘eclipse.exe’ from the eclipse folder
7) Shut down Eclipse and opened it up again
8) Went into Window > Open Perspective > Other… to find the MyEclipse perspective but couldn’t see it.Let me know if you need further information.
Thank you.
AndersAnders,
The lack of a log is very peculiar. Are any of the MyEclipse preference pages available? Is there a ‘links’ subdirectory under your Eclipse installation with a .link file whose contents points to the MyEclipse installation?
Scott,
I really don’t have an error log and none of the preference pages are available. However, I do have a links directory with a link file called ‘com.genuitec.eclipse.MyEclipse.link’. Also, FYI I have 57 plug-ins in my eclipse\plugins directory.
Any ideas???Cheers.

Anders,
It sounds like Eclipse isn’t even trying to load MyEclipse, especially if MyEclipse isn’t present on Help > About Eclipse Platform…
Can you verify that the contents of the link file point to your MyEclipse installation? If that’s the case, try deleting the <eclipse>/configuration directory and then starting Eclipse. That should cause a full rebuild of the environment.Guys,
the contents of my link file is this:
path=G:\\MyEclipse
which is where I have placed MyEclipse.
Sorry Scott but MyEclipse is present on Help > About Eclipse Platform… can I send you any information from there???
It didn’t help deleting the ‘configuration’ folder either …. what the hell am I doing wrong 🙁
Anders
Are Eclipse and MyEclipse installed on the same drive? I don’t know if that could be an issue, but it might be. Are you absolutely sure there is no log file at <workspace>/.metadata/.log? Note that without a filename (just a suffix) you’ll have to configure the windows explorer to show all files to see it.
Scott,
I’m absolutely sure that there is no log file.
I have just installed myeclipse on a different drive but without any success.
I have just started downloading the latest Eclipse through your site, as I might have downloaded a wrong version …. one that is missing some important components …. or something similar from Eclipse’s own site. I’ll give you an update tomorrow ….. hopefully it will all be fine by then 😉Thank you.
Anders
Scott,
after downloading Eclipse from your web site instead of Eclipse’s I can now see the MyEclipse perspective again.
Did I not download enough from Eclipse (this is the file I d/l ‘eclipse-platform-3.0M9-win32.zip’)???
Anyway, I’m just pleased it’s up and running again.Cheers.
Anders
