Hi,

I’m having the same problem as a few others have reported in this thread (same stacktrace). Environment info:

Windows version: MS Server 2003, Standard Ed. Service Pack 1
IE version: 6.0.3790.1830, 128 bit, SP1
MSOffice version: 2003
Net installed: there’s a dir named “microsoft.net” but not much in there to give version info
myeclipse version: 3.9.310
myeclipse buildid: 20050808-4.0-Milestone-3
Eclipse 3.1.0

I can’t remember if it was a fresh install or an update, sorry.

What other info do you need?

Could it have something to do with server 2k3s tight security contraints on IE?

Thanks for making my java dev. a lot easier (it was hard for me to switch from Emacs, but the eclipse emacs keybindings helped a lot 🙂

marsrc,
Can you try and uninstall MyEclipse Milestone 3 and instead install 4.0.3 GA release, there are quite a few changes, bug fixes and updates since Milestone 3 and I’d hate for you to be running into this problem if it was already fixed.

Keep in mind you can’t do a normal upgrade, you need to uninstall the current MyEclipse and install the newest version. Be sure to add -clean to your command line arguments when restarting so Eclipse rebuilds your MyEclipse plugin cache.

[marsrc]

Hi,

I tried what you said, and I still get the same error (see below). Should I always start eclipse with -clean or only after I install new plugins?

My bet on the error is it’s something to do with server 2003’s IE security limitations…

I disabled Internet Enhanced Security (Control Panel->Add Remove Programs->Windows Components->Internet Enhanced Security) but it still doesn’t work.

Maybe there is some security setting in the Internet Options dialog that is causing it…

Thanks,

With JDK 1.4.2_05, I do not have this problem, with 1.4.2_10, I do.

I am running Windows 2003 Server EE.

I was not experiencing this issue until I upgraded from the JDK 1.4.2_05 that came with my version of Oracle to JDK 1.4.2_10.

When I switched my environment around so that Java applications (namely MyEclipse) start up with version 1.4.2_05 again, I no longer experienced it.

I guess I should’ve also stated that I’m using Java 1.5 (build 1.5.0_04-b05)

Would appreciate some suggestions on this…It’s dissapointing not being able to use this feature,

[Bill Laviolette]

You can install the 1.4.2_05 JDK and still use Java 1.5 in the development of your projects. This way the features will work, and you can still use whatever JDK you want in your projects.

marsrc,
This is a bug of the designer on Windows 2k3, our developers that work on the designer have narrowed down the problem unfortunately it’s hairy and likely won’t make 4.1. Management is not pleased that this bug continues to live but we need to push our releases forward for all the old folks. Right now a very very small group of people are working on Win2k3 which is why we aren’t blocking the 4.1 release for this.

Don’t feel ignored, you aren’t.

[abtrapp]

It would be great if someone finds a way to disable the preview function (like thomasmarkus suggested). I do not need this stuff, all I want is a JSP editor.

I can give mine. Seems the same problem on every Windows XP SP2 PC…

Windows XP Prof. SP 2 (german)
IE: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519 (german) (with foxie extension)
Default browser: Firefox 1.5 (german)
Microsoft Office XP Prof. with all patches
.Net 1.1 + German Language Pack + Hotfix KB886903)

[Greg]

hmm, i wonder if its the office XP professional with all the patches. In most versions of office at least with 2000, they modify internet explorer DLLs. That may be part of the problem. We don’t have office XP Pro her in our testing lab, just 2000.

[abtrapp]

Hm. I do not use the office often. Should I try to uninstall it, try the MyEclipse JSP editor and reinstall again?

[Riyad Kalla]

abtrapp,
Do you have Office handy incase you need to reinstall it? If so, you can try uninstalling it, it’s hard to say if it will revert IE back to the original form or not though. Who knows what MS does.

[Greg]

I’m not 100% as we can’t replicate this problem and this is just a guess at what is going on. If you are able to uninstall and it starts to work, that would be most valuable, but I am hesitant to recommend uninstalling other software that you might need later.
