I had been using the m4 release and was experimenting with the uml and struts diagramer.
Today, I saw that the GA release was published to the web site, so I downloaded the latest version. I looked for instructions and saw that there is not an upgrade path, so I uninstalled the m4 release, and then installed the GA release.
I didn’t see the note to run with -clean at first, and I started it up and received an error message:
<pre>
Could not restore workbench layout.Reason: Problems occurred restoring workbench.
Unable to restore perspective: Workspace – MyEclipse UML Perspective. Internal error activating an Editor. null argument;
</pre>I closed the workbench and looked at the release notes. I saw the note about running with -clean, and did that. I got the same error message.
I closed workbench and tried starting it again, and I still get the same error messages.
My configuration is the following:
Windows XP Pro Service Pack 1
Eclipse 3.1 (build I20050627-1435 )
JDK 1.5.0_04
vmargs -Xmx750MI have a MyEclipse menu, but under [Window][Preferences] there is no longer a myEclipse category for configuration.
Can you please help me get MyEclipse working?
Thank you.

Bob,
Sorry that this is causing you a problem. The course to get you running the fastest is to install a fresh version of Eclipse 3.1 in a new location and then install 4.0GA such that it points to it. Once you’ve installed in a parallel location, simply open your existing workspace.
There really was no way to upgrade properly from M3 to GA due to the problems detailed in this thread:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-8781.htmlRe-installing eclipse and my-eclipse solved the problem.
This information should be in the release notes and on the download page. I got the newsletter yesterday, and it didn’t say anything about migrating from old versions to the latest other than running -clean.
Perhaps this was oversight.
Bob
