This morning I upgraded MyEclipse to version 4.0.1.

Since then it has been trying to rebuild the workspace. Half way through it begins validating Spring beans, displaying messages like:
Validating properties of bean “someDaoTarget”.
It cycles through my spring beans – apparantly indefinetly.
It occationally displays other messages like “Validating references…”, “Validating bean…”, “Validating constructor…”, but they disappear again too fast for me to read.

This started when I removed a .jar file from the build path, thereby triggering the rebuild.
Since then I have restarted eclipse with the -clean option, and done a Project | Clean (Clean all projects).
Same result.

The Eclipse version is 3.1.0, Build id: I20050627-1435, and I’m running it on Win XP Pro 5.1 SP2.

I cannot reproduce it but I filed the bug report anyway.
How persistent is this problem? Does it go away after you restart the workspace? Were the beans classes in that Jar?

[support-eugene]

As a walkaround you can disable the “MyEclipse Spring Project Builder” in the project properties/Builders.

Do you have multiple config files?

[Claus Nielsen]

The problem is very persistent. As I said, I restarted the workspace (with -clean), and that didn’t change anything.

There were no bean classes in the .jar I removed (I replaced Tapestry 4 beta7 jars with -beta9 jars).

I found another workaround – I simply went back to MyEclipse 4.0.0.

Yes, I do have several Spring bean configuration files – one with most of my (shared) beans, and several others, for more specific purposes, which all imports the shared configuration.

[support-eugene]

I will continue investigations and will keep you posted.

[support-eugene]

Does that project have any other project natures? (Tapestry, for instance) Can you check if it has any other builders except Java and Spring builders?

[Claus Nielsen]

Actually, I think I was wrong about exactly what triggered the first rebuild. I did delete the Tapestry .jars as i wrote, but that was from another project.

Anyway, here is the .project file from the project with the Sping bean configurations it keeps validating.

Thank you for your help. This information will prove useful for replicating the problem.

[Scott Anderson]

clanie,

We’re having a difficult time replicating the issue. 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 to help us out. Also, would it be possible to send us this project, or a stripped down version that replicates the issue? If you create a new workspace with only the problem project in it, does it also validate circularly?

[Claus Nielsen]

I have made a new workspace with just the problematic project + another project containing its dependencies.
It still results in circular validation.

I’ll send you a copy of my workspace if you tell me where to send it (preferably via FTP – its quite large, so I don’t know if I can email it).

Are there any exceptions in the Eclipse log file? (<workspace>/.metadata/.log)
In another project I am using Tapestry 4. In the log file there are tons of errors regarding Spindle and Tapestry, but as far as I can see, there is nothing regarding Spring or the problematic project.

[Claus Nielsen]

Just checked the log file in the new workspace. There are several messages about snippets being installed, but other than that it is empty. Here it is:

OK, looks like it’s something with the dependent project configuration.

I’ll send you a copy of my workspace if you tell me where to send it (preferably via FTP – its quite large, so I don’t know if I can email it).

The whole workspace will be too large. However, can you just export the two projects into a zip file and send via email instead? That should get the size down quite a bit. If that fails for some reason, we’ll look at other ways to get it to us. The email address is support@genuitec.com. In the email, can you also include ATTN: Eugene and the URL of this thread so we can follow back up to it? Thanks for the help running this down!

[Claus Nielsen]

OK, I’ve mailed you a couple of my projects – hope it helps.

[support-eugene]

Thank you. We will keep you posted.

[Cyrus]

FYI, I am also experiencing this exact problem. I cannot send you the spring config because of banking rules, but I can say that we are not using Tapestry. We are using Hibernate, IBatis and EhCache, and only one config file.
