[ashok pappu]

Hi all
I am having trouble creating projects.
The error message is “!newprojectcreationwizard.op_error.message” see error log for more details(I dont know where the error log is if someone can point out i would appreciate)

I am using jdk1.3 on windows 2000
eclipse version2.1.1 this is a new Install and I have VSS plugin
and a fresh installation of myEclipse

I hope some one can please help
Thanks
Ashok Pappu

Ashok,

The log file is at <workspace>/.metatdata/.log. It should have a nice stacktract pointing us to the issue. From your configuration, the only suspect element is using JDK 1.3 to start Eclipse. Some of the very old versions of 1.3 were quite buggy and might not work properly. If you already have a later JDK installed, you can specify that it be used to launch Eclipse by opening the shortcut you’re using to start Eclipse and adding the option:
-vm <path_to_jdk>\bin\javaw.exe

The first exception is simply caused by failure to retrieve a DTD during XML validation and won’t cause any behavioral problems except a timeout.

The real issue looks like this:

ENTRY org.eclipse.jdt.ui 4 10001 Sep 24, 2003 08:33:13.756
!MESSAGE Internal Error
!STACK 0
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.ErrorDialog.<init>(ErrorDialog.java:117)

This internal error is very troubling, especially since the entire stack is native Eclipse code and nothing from MyEclipse. I’d still go back to my earlier recommendation of trying a newer JDK, or if that fails reinstalling a fresh instance of Eclipse itself to clear up the internal error.

Scott,
I think your solution works. How ever there are still more issues.
The Help and tutorial(MyEclipse User Guide) screen is messedup every time I do a CTRL+TAB from MyEclipse to the Help screen. can you help?I dont know if it matters I tried this both on laptop and desktop with windows 2000 and it does not work on either one.
Thanks,
Ashok pappu

[Scott Anderson]

Ashok,

I honestly can say I’ve never tried CTRL+TAB to move between them. I’ll look into this later today to see if I can replicate the problem.

–Scott
MyEclipse Support

[ashok pappu]

scott,
I mean ALT+TAB not CTRL+TAB
Sorry
AShok Pappu

[support-michael]

I can switch between windows using this Alt+TAB keys. What is the problem you are experiencing?

Michael
MyEclipse Support

[ashok pappu]

when I switch Between Help and Eclipse the fonts on the Help screen are resizing resulting either the fonts and images becoming very small or stretched. I have to refresh every time the Help screen to read the contents of the help
Hope you can Help
Thanks
AShok pappu

I too am having the same error, just of a little different flavor. I am getting this error when I try to create a new J2EE WebModule project. The message that is presented is this: !NewProjectCreationWizard.op_error.message! — Path must include project and resource name: /DTF. And btw, the project name that I am trying to create is DTF. Please if you could help.

thx – harold

[support-michael]

To Appapu:

If you switch between windows manually (i.e., not using Alt+Tab) do you experience the same render scaling problem?

To hneiper:
Can you provide the exact inputs to the Web Project creation wizard for further evaluation?

Michael
MyEclipse Support

[ashok pappu]

yes it does.
All I do is open eclipse, open Help and switch between them either through ALT+TAB or through mouse click and the font ‘s and the images in help change .They are Messed Up
Thanks,
Ashok Pappu

[support-michael]

This appears to be an Eclipse platform issue. I have noticed similar behavior where IE fonts will occasionally be enlarged after using the base Eclipse platform. I’ll search Eclipse bugzilla for similar reports.

Thanks.
