Hello,

We are currently evaluating ME Blue 8.6 as a replacement for RAD 7.5.5 at our company. A number of developers are using the IDE w/ some success to build applications that run on WAS 7.0. A couple of them have seen intermittent error dialogs that appear on startup of Blue, but don’t prevent it from loading the workbench content or affect the server instance startup. These errors are howeverm worrisome given the trouble we have had w/ RAD 7.5.5.

The 2 errors we’ve seen – (that result in popup error dialogs during startup): (BTW – these are pulled from the logs in the workspace)

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2010-08-11 10:07:06.130
!MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: “Initializing Java Tooling”.
!STACK 0
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl.ResourceSetImpl$1DiagnosticWrappedException:
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.PackageNotFoundException: Package with uri ‘http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd’ not found.

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2010-08-13 10:38:13.298
!MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: “Update Installed JREs”.
!STACK 0
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl.ResourceSetImpl$1DiagnosticWrappedException:
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.PackageNotFoundException: Package with uri ‘http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd’ not found. (platform:/resource/BinaryWebServices_EAR/META-INF/application.xml, 2, 249)

In the 2nd case, the project identified was intact w/ all resources in the location as expected. Upon stop and restart of ME Blue, the error did not occur again. However, we have seen others periodically show up – they are not always the same each time.

Given the potential number of users that we might shift over to this product, we need to better understand what would cause these since
many of the users are already frustrated w/ RAD 7.5.5 and would be expecting stability in addition to the performance benefits we are seeing. Thanks

Note:

OS Win 7 and XP SP 2 minimum
2-3GB RAM depending on machine
Most users are using the WAS 7 server that was installed w/ RAD 7.5.5 – usually fixpack 9 (7.0.0.9) located in the folder /Program Files/IBM/SDP/runtimes/base_v7

mcs,

Thanks for reporting these issues to us. We have been made aware of a possible race condition during startup, which could cause the problems you describe. Due to the nature of the problem, it will not occur 100% of the time.

Additional questions:
1) Have all these projects already been set to work with WAS 7 from the beginning? Or have some of them been previously configured for WAS 6.x and then ported to WAS 7.
2) In the current environment, for developers who experience problems, are all projects targeted to WAS 7 – do they have a WAS 7 classpath container attached to the project?

Our team is currently investigating these problems; could you help by clearing the error log, restarting and then pasting the entire error log here? It is important for us to see all the errors that occur during startup. You could alternatively mail support@genuitec.com with a link to this post and subject: ATTN Brian.

Thanks for working with us on these issues, this is a high priority area for our team.
