For a while now, I’ve had a problem where the “Descriptions” column of the Problems View goes entirely blank. I usually see this when exiting Eclipse and restarting Eclipse (which I do via the MyEclipse shortcut). I started using MyEclipse with 3.8.4 with 3.1 M6 or M7. I upgraded to the 3.1 final when it came out, once 4.0M2 was released. I did this by re-installing Eclipse and all my plugins from scratch. The problem remained. I figured perhaps the problem was that I did not re-create my workspace.
Today, I again started from scratch. I installed the Eclipse 3.1 release and all my plugins. I installed MyEclipse 4.0 M3. I created a new workspace totally from scratch. And I still have this problem.
This is incredibly annoying!
I installed the following plugins:
com.pnehrer.castor_2.0.2.bin.dist.zip
de.loskutov.anyedit.AnyEditTools_1.3.4.jar
jadclipse_2.0.9.zip
logwatcher_1.4.0.1.zip
net.sourceforge.eclipseccase_1.0.3.zip
org.into.eclipse.codesugar_0.2.1.zip
regexTester_0.9.0.zipThis is under WinXP Pro with Sun Java SDK 1.4.2_02 and Sun JRE 1.5.0_04 installed. Eclipse by default is using the 1.5.0_04 JRE and not the SDK.
I don’t know if anyone else has seen this. Any ideas what I can look for or why this might be happening? This did not start until I started using MyEclipse.
To add more information, if I clean (and thus rebuild) my Project, all of the problem descriptions come back. I then exited Eclipse (with no files open in any editors) and restarted. The problem descriptions were present. I did this about five or six times and on the last time I tried, the descriptions were blank.
This could be an Eclipse 3.1 bug or something introduced by MyEclipse. I switched from the 3.0 stream to the 3.1 stream at the same time I started using MyEclipse, and that is when this problem started.
To add yet more information …. I cleaned and rebuilt my project to get all of my descriptions back. I then closed and opened Eclipse seven times without doing anything within Eclipse at all. On the 7th time, all of my problem descriptions were blank. So I uninstalled MyEclipse. I then started Eclipse and shut it down without doing anything 25 times in a row. The problem descriptions came back each time. So I reinstalled MyEclipse 4.0M3. I started and shut down Eclipse 10 times in a row and the problem descriptions came back each time.
So I tried opening a JSP. That is, I double click on a JSP and then opened the preview pane. I then closed Eclipse and opened it back up. Sure enough, the problem descriptions were all blank. I repeated this and again the problem descriptions were all blank. I repeated it again and on the first restart of Eclipse the problem descriptions were there and on the second they were blank.
There seems to be something odd and intermittent going on, but if I try to use the JSP editor, this problem seems to be quickly reproducable.
