I’ve just installed Java 1.5, Eclipse 3.1, and MyEclipse 4.0 M2 on my Windows XP / SP2 machine. The first time I tried to go into the DB Explorer Perspective I received an error message saying several Genuinetec modules didn’t load (or couldn’t be found). Unfortunately I didn’t copy down the message. Now when I go into the DB Explorer Perspective I don’t get the error message and I just get a blank window. The toolbar is there, but nothing else.

Any thoughts / suggestions?

Thanks,
Chris

Chris what is your Eclipse Build ID (Help > About), and MyEclipse Build ID (Window > Prefs > MyEclipse).

Also open your log file and check for exceptions during startup: <workspace dir>\.metadata\.log

Eclipse Build id: I20050627-1435
MyEclipse Build ID: 20050627-4.0-Milestone-2

I copied my workspace projects from my previous Eclipse 3.0 environment.
The .log’s most recent entry is from Sun 7/31, even though I used Eclipse Mon and Tue. It contains a set of messages for each project like this:
!MESSAGE Skipping builder <see list below> for project <project name>. Either the builder is missing from the install, or it belongs to a project nature that is missing or disabled.

com.genuitec.eclipse.j2eedt.core.WebClasspathBuilder
com.genuitec.eclipse.j2eedt.core.J2EEProjectValidator
com.genuitec.eclipse.j2eedt.core.DeploymentDescriptorValidator
com.ibm.etools.validation.validationbuilder
com.ibm.sse.model.structuredbuilder
com.genuitec.eclipse.ast.deploy.core.DeploymentBuilder

I think these are all related to Eclipse 3.0. They are not related to the error messages I received when I first tried to use DB Explorer.

At the end of the .log, it show the end of one session followed by an error message. There is nothing more in the log.

First let’s rule out a problomatic workspace.

Load up MyEclipse, go to File > Switch Workspace, type in a new name like C:\tempworkspace, hit OK. Now switch to the DB Perspective, did it work? If not, please write down the error message, double check the new log file (in the new workspace) for any messages.

If that did not work I’m goign to ask that you reinstall Eclipse 3.1 SDK and MyEclispe 4.0 Milestone 2 for Eclipse 3.1 from scratch, there is something wonky going on here.

If it did work, then try and start importing your projects (File > Import Existing Project), after you are done importing, restart and try the DB explorer again, did it still work?

One of our devs just mentioned to me to clarify are you seeing a blank screen like a graphical error or exception has occured, or are you seeing a blank screen because none of the views are opened? If you switch to the DB perspective and then go to Window > Show View and start clicking those views, are they popping up correctly?

[Chris Bacon]

The problem was that I had just copied my workspace folder from my Eclipse 3.0 environment to Eclipse 3.1 rather than importing projects.

The “blank” screen was because there were no views open.

Thanks for your help!
