I am trying to edit a DTD. It is readonly — the editor will not allow me to type. I have to cut/paste from another window.
What am I doing wrong?
Can you please post all the information we request in the [URL=http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-393.html]Posting Guidelines[/URL] thread at the top of this forum? That will give us some context so that we can determine if this is an installation issue, a configuration problem, or a bug. Thanks.
Also explain where the DTD came from, did you create it? Are you trying to edit a DTD that is inside of a JAR file? etc.
What operating system and version are you running?
Linux (Fedora 3).
What Eclipse version and build id are you using? (Help > About Eclipse Platform)
Version: 3.1.0
Build id: I20050513-1415
– Was Eclipse freshly installed for MyEclipse?
Yes.
– If not, was it upgraded to its current version using the update manager?
Not applicable.
– Are any other external plugins installed?
No.
– How many plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory are like org.eclipse.pde.*

What MyEclipse version are you using? (Help > About Eclipse Platform > Features)

What JDK version are you using to run Eclipse? (java -version)
1.5.0_03
What JDK version are you using to launch your application server?
same
What steps did you take that resulted in the issue?
Opened a DTD that I created.
What application server are you using?
Tomcat
Are there any exceptions in the Eclipse log file? (<workspace>/.metadata/.log)
No.This is an odd one, let’s check a few things first.
1) Right click on the file and go down to Properties, is the file marked as read only?
2) If you open the exact same file with the normal text editor (Close file, right click > Open With > Text Editor) can you edit it then?
3) Is the file under any kind of source control? (Source Safe, CVS, Subversion, Preforce, etc?) Have you made sure to check the file out from source control before editing it?
4) Are you sure you are using the Beta of MyEclipse for the M7 build of Eclipse 3.1 you are using? (Window > Prefernces > MyEclipse, read the full version from this panel).1) Right click on the file and go down to Properties, is the file marked as read only?
No.
2) If you open the exact same file with the normal text editor (Close file, right click > Open With > Text Editor) can you edit it then?
Yes. (That is how I have been editing them since MyEclipse treats them as readonly).
3) Is the file under any kind of source control? (Source Safe, CVS, Subversion, Preforce, etc?) Have you made sure to check the file out from source control before editing it?
No.
4) Are you sure you are using the Beta of MyEclipse for the M7 build of Eclipse 3.1 you are using? (Window > Prefernces > MyEclipse, read the full version from this panel).
Yes. (The other versions will not install with 3.1M7).Odd, we cannot reproduce this locally. Because there were a handful of other errors in the M7 beta that are getting fixed in our next milestone 2 build of 4.0, I would ask you to use the workaround of editing the file with your Text Editor until we release 4.0 MIlestone 2 for Eclipse 3.0.x and Eclipse 3.1RC1.
If you don’t need the Java 5 functionality in Eclipse 3.1, we would always encourage our users to step back to stable releases of Eclispe and MyEclipse for the best experience, but we realized that some of our users need the Java 5 functionality now which is why we cut betas that are compatible with the Eclipse Milestone releases at the expense of stability.

Im having the same problem. Except in only occurs on a file that is on the network.
Basically a file that is writable everywhere else is now not editable.
