hi,
I have recently installed MyEclipse using MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench from http://www.myeclipseide.com/modules.php op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index. DOes this cover J2EE? I am not able to see EJB projects. I am not able to see J2EE perspective also. SHould I change some settings to view the same? Pls guide me.

Thanks in advance

Kp,
You need to create a new project of that type, and then you will be switched to the “MyEclipse” perspective. Go to New Project dialog, and take a look at the different types of projects you can create.

Hi Riyad,
Thanks for the reply. But when i try to create a new project I am not able to see EJB project at all. I am able to see only Java,Plug In Development and Simple. How should I proceed? What kind of project should I create to see J2EE perspective. I have downloaded and installed from EnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_020700RC2.exe. Does this have J2EE perspective?

Thanks again,
Kp

KP,

Can you please answer the questions in the System setup that are in your previous reply? This is most likely a simple configuration issue and if we have the answers to those questions we’ll be able to determine the problem.

Hi Scott,

I am having the same problem. Iam not able to install Tomcat.

Can you describe not being able to install Tomcat? Tomcat isn’t related to the MyEclipse product which is why I’m confused by your comment. Are you not able to setup a deployment FOR Tomcat maybe?

Sorry for my english I use french as my usually language.

My real problem is that Iam not able to integrate Tomcat in Eclipse. I was using for 2 years JBuilder 6, 7 and 9. I am working in a web project (servlet/JSP and applet). Now I wan’t to move to Eclipse in order to work intensively with EJB and JBoss. So Iam trying to move my JBuilder project to Eclipse.

I have downloaded the version 3.0 of Eclipse, but the available documentation of how to create a web project is about older version (maybe Iam wrong). So my question is how to integrate Tomcat in Eclipse 3.0, start Tomcat in the Eclipse environment and run my servlet?

Many thanks.

Ahh ok yes I understand now. Well we have some really good flash movies that show you how to do this. Please check out this one first:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/images/tutorials/webprojectdemo.htm

then this one:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/images/tutorials/StrutsTutorial.htm

The second one is specific to struts, BUT it does cover deployment and running your app and so forth.

Also note that if you want to run an application server from MyEclipse, the first thing you need to do is go to (I’m assuming you are using Tomcat 5):
Window>Preferences>MyEclipse>Application Servers>Tomcat 5

and setup the home directory of Tomcat (I suggest you install Tomcat to someplace like C:\Tomcat 5.0 to make the path short, if the path is too long, you can run into issues).

After you have done that, click the “JDK” node in the tree, and hit “Add” to add the JDK setup that you want to be used to run this application server. WE suggest using atleast version 1.4.1 of the JDK as version 1.4.0 had many bugs in it that make debugging/running very difficult.

Please let us know if there is anything else you need help with.

I have looked the movie, it is fine but I don’t have the same screen. I mean, I don’t have the MyEclipse perspective. The only available perspective I have are the following :
– CVS Repository Exploring
– Debug
– Java
– Java Browsing
– Java type Hierarchy
– Plug-in Development
– Resource
– Team Synchronizing

Therefore Iam not able the use the following link

Window>Preferences>MyEclipse>Application Servers>Tomcat 5

because I don’t find the >MyEclipse> folder on the treeView.

That is my problem.

Thanks again for your help.

If you aren’t able to find MyEclipse the its definatelly an installation problem. If you are using Eclipse 3.0M6 and MyEclipse 3.7RC2, then please try the following:

1) Shutdown Eclipse 3.6

2) Delete the directory <Eclipse 3.6 install dir>/eclipse/.config. Note the directory name begins with a dot so it won’t be visible in the Macintosh Finder. On the Mac, you’ll have to use the Terminal application to manually go to the eclipse directory to delete it.

3) Start up MyEclipse 3.7 RC2

4) Verify that the MyEclipse Preference pages are available from the Windows menu>Preferences
