MyEclipse controls do not appear in Eclipse as depicted in the documentation. I attempted
If the MyEclipse controls are missing choose Window menu>Customize Perspective>Other. Then check all entries that begin with “MyEclipse” as shown in Figure 2. Select OK to commit your modifications and verify that the MyEclipse controls are now present.
but this doesn’t work because “Other” option does not appear under Customize Perspective.
I’m looking at your screenshots from this morning that you sent and the toolbar looks fine. I’m not following exactly what you aren’t seeing. Please be more specific.
The screenshot I sent to you was pertinent to another thread, the one having to do with JSP Errors not be indicated by a Red Circle on the left of the Main editor window and not being detailed in the console as in the example documentation.
This thread has to do with the documentation which instructs us to click on Window/Customize Perspective and select Other. When I click on Window/Customize Perspective, no “Other” option is available.The screenshot I sent to you was pertinent to another thread, the one having to do with JSP Errors not be indicated by a Red Circle on the left of the Main editor window and not being detailed in the console as in the example documentation.
I understand, I interpreted your original message to be an issue with making the MyEclipse buttons appear in the toolbar and since I knew I had a screenshot from you this morning, I looked at it and saw the buttons were correctly being displayed. So I was then confused exactly what you weren’t seeing.
As far as the “Other” option, the documentation is likely outdated and something has changed between the version of Eclipse that the doc was written for and now the version you are using.
If you would like further help with this, I would appreciate it if you would tell me exactly what you are not seeing and I can help you get that turned on.
I don’t think I am missing anything. I opened the thread because I was trying to follow the Tutorial Documentation and was unsuccessful at that. But everything is going well and I am extremely impressed with MyEclipse (exception: JSP validation error reporting is still a problem). I should add that I am impressed and appreciatitive of the support you have given me in this forum. As I work through the tutorials (xDocLet, JSF, Struts, Hibernate, etc) I will post whatever concerns I may have of a bug-like nature and will look forward to communicating with you in the future.
John I’m glad to hear the tool is helping you work, this JSP validation issue is a bee in my bonnet, I can’t think of why it’s not working; the key is to have your JDK’s /bin dir in your System PATH so MyEclipse can find the ‘javac’ executable in order to validate the page. And lastly Automatic build needs to be turned on, besides that your setup all looked fine.
I’ll keep digging for ideas on my end.
The JSP Validation error issue may be a bee but I don’t think it will sting either of us. JSP errors are being flagged in the editor by small rose rectangle on the right side and small rose subscript squiggle underneath the error position. The user should be able to work through any JSP scriptlet errors with this help. I opened this thread to help in discovering a way I could get the JSP Validation error reporting to work as per the documentation. But this is not a critical issue and you could close this thread if its bothering you.
On the other hand, if you agree that the error should be detailed in the console window and indicated additionally by a red circle on the left side, then perhaps you will interested in a further wrinkle in this amusing saga of events.
When you suggested that I switch to an alternative workspace, I did that and verified that the I still had the JSP error reporting issue in the new workspace in a new project with a new JSP file. This morning I switched back to the original workspace and guess what? The red circle error indicator appeared on the left. However, the console window continues to be bereft of any error detail.This morning I switched back to the original workspace and guess what? The red circle error indicator appeared on the left.

John, your console is only used for runtime redirection, all of your problems are shown in your Problem View, you can open that from Window > Show View > Other… > Basic > Problems, hit OK. There is where compiler errors, validation errors and any other kinds of errors or warnings will be shown.
