Hi,

I initially had this on versin 2.6 and then went back to 2.5.1 and it also happened.

java.version=1.4.1_02
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=en_US
Eclipse:Version: 2.1.1
Build id: 200306271545
Clean install of eclipse (only used to evaluate MyEclipse).
MyEclipseIde:2.5.1

I am compiling a large project (>4000 classes, > 1300 JSP). At some point during adding libraries the J2EE 1.3 Container library becomes lost. Once that happens I am not able to create a new J2EE/EJB/Web project.

To fix this, I have to edit the MyEclipse preferences and hit a few of the entries (not sure which ones). The last exception in the log files is as follows:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.runtime 4 2 Sep 01, 2003 09:32:13.657
!MESSAGE Plug-in “com.genuitec.eclipse.j2eedt.core” was unable to instantiate class “com.genuitec.eclipse.j2eedt.ui.wizard.NewEARProjectWizard”.

Michael,

My first thought is that due to the size of your project you might be running out of memory, thus causing Eclipse to behave irradically once that occurs. Do you start Eclipse with arguments to increase the amount of memory it receives? You can do this by creating an alias to the eclipse.exe application and pass it arguments like:
-vmargs -Xms128M -Xmx256M

If you’re not doing this, could you give it a try and see if it changes the behavior?

You can do this by creating an alias to the eclipse.exe application and pass it arguments like:
-vmargs -Xms128M -Xmx256M

I actually use -vmargs -Xmx512M. Have had to do this because of the size with normal eclipse. It seems that any out of memory errors that occur come from the JSPCC. As it stands right now, I can not start eclipse (it wants to build the project and runs out of memory before I can change any settings). It then ask me to shutdown eclipse because of the memory problem. I might be able to not shutdown….

My first concern is to get your workbench started. Here are a couple of ideas that you may wish to try to get Eclipse started up without your large project being auto-built.

The JSP editor can be configured to disable JSP compilation but in your case the project auto-build feature is causing your mega project to be compiled on startup. What your can try is to manually set the plugin preference that will disable JSP compilation. Try this:

0) Stop Eclipse if it is running (doesn’t sound like this is your case)
1) Open <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/de.bb.bje.eclipse/pref_store.ini in an text editor.
2) Set or add the following properties

                 compile-disable=true

3) Save the pref_store.ini file
4) Start Eclipse/MyEclipse; JSP compilation should not be invoked

To manually disable workbench auto-build and “refresh on startup” do the following:
0) Again Eclipse should be stopped/shutdown
1) Open <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.workbench/pref_store.ini in an text editor.
2) Set or add the following properties

  
              AUTO_BUILD=false
              REFRESH_WORKSPACE_ON_STARTUP=false

3) Save the pref_store.ini file
4) Start Eclipse/MyEclipse; project build should not be invoked

Once your workbench is up and running you will want to consider resetting these values using the Eclipse Preference UI.

Michael,

1) Open <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/de.bb.bje.eclipse/pref_store.ini in an text editor.
2) Set or add the following properties
Code:
compile-disable=true

This worked.

Thanks!

I am searching for an explanation for the “LibrarySet/classpath-container lost” issue. After disabling JSP compilation do you experience this problem when compiling just the Java classes.

Michael,

I am not 100% sure. I know that the problem happens when it can not do a complete build. I get errors that some type is referenced that can not be found. Basically, class A uses class B and B refers to some class not in the path. Class B is a 3rd party class.

It might have to do with memory too.

If you want, I have the entire log file from when this happened. It is huge 2.3 MB.

Yes, please send me the log to my attention for further research, support@genuitec.com
