I just made upgrade to version 4.0.3 build id 20051025-4.0.3-GA. Then, No matter how to link or unlink with editor, it always links Hierachy perspective to the editor. Any idea?

Hmm, try restart using the -clean command line argument to eclipse.exe see if that clears it up.

I did it following the instruction, but it works like before, no changes. BTW, the package explorer perspective works OK with or wirhout link.

Leon I really don’t know what setting you may have set to link your navigation to the hierarchy view. You could try closing all your perspectives and restarting with -clean, then opening them back up and see if that helps.

Okay,
closed all the perspectives and MyEclipse,
started MyEclipse with D:\MyIde\eclipse\eclipse.exe -clean -vmargs -Duser.language=en -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -Dosgi.splashLocation=”C:\Program Files\MyEclipse\eclipse\MyEclipseSplash.bmp”,
opened a hierarchy perspective again with classes,
then the editor will always be linked with the class that is browsered in the hierarchy perspective.

Leon,

Could you clarify a few things:

1) There is no hierarchy perspective, there is only a hierarchy view – are you talking about something else?
2) We seem to be misunderstanding what you mean by “link”.
Could you give a series of steps of what you are doing in Eclipse?
Are you editing a java file and then pressing a Hotkey or choosing a menu option which brings up the hierarchy view?
I ask becuase AFAIK there isn’t a way to “link” the editor to the hierarchy view.

A screenshot, if possible, would help a great deal in understanding your problem.

Best,
Brian.

1) Hierarchy is the F4 function when highlight a class name
2) Link is the selection on hte drop down menu of the Hierachy named “Link with Editor”
No matter how the “Link with Editor” is selected or not, it always swaps the view of the class in Editor that is clicked on in the hierarchy view.

This functionality is provided by the base Eclipse install, this can either be a workspace issue (File > Switch Workspace to check) or an install issue of Eclipse.

It is not a big deal for me, but only a little inconvenient. Closing all perspactives are painful. I wouldn’t spend more time on it and I will upgrade to 4.1.1. Then see what happens. Thanks.
