As I do not want to use Pulse (locks me into using the provisioned java version 5, experimental for Linux 64bit) and cannot use the All-In-One-Installer (since I’m on Linux) I used the archived update site of MyEclipse 6.5 to add its features to a fresh Eclipse 3.3.2 installation.

However the installation seems to miss some features:
– The J2EE libraries of MyEclipse are not registered
– The preferences miss the settings for application server integrations

Additionally the manual installation method, which you documented in this forum, is no longer usable since the download link for the zipped myeclipse distribution is dead:

http://www.myeclipseide.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=10

Right now there seems to be no way to install MyEclipse 6.5 on Non-Windows-Platforms without using Pulse. I for my part would always prefer the possibility to manually install MyEclipse than use some kind of “installation manager” overhead. Do you plan to oblige the usage of Pulse for MyEclipse users?

– The J2EE libraries of MyEclipse are not registered

What do you mean by “The J2EE libs are not registered”?

– The preferences miss the settings for application server integrations

You are unable to see the application server connectors under preferences? Sounds like an installation issue.

Are you using the 64 bit verions of Eclipse 3.3.2 ?

Can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

What do you mean by “The J2EE libs are not registered”?

Sorry for being unclear. I mean those Classpath Libraries that J2EE Projects use to find the J2EE API classes. I use an eclipse workspace that already hosts some MyEclipse Web Projects created on some other machine. In the “Java Build Path” properties of these projects, Tab “Libraries” I now see the following entry instead of the J2EE 1.4 Library:

Persisted container [com.genuitec.eclipse.j2eedt.core.J2EE14_CONTAINER for project [MyProjectName]]

This cannot be resolved anymore and so all projects have build errors.

I tried with 32bit and 64bit versions of Eclipse 3.2.2.

These are the installation details:

Thanks for your help.

Can you go to the Library tab and remove the existing J2EE 1.4 lib. Now go to Add Library > MyEclipse Library > J2EE 1.4 libraries and hit finish. Now when you rebuild the project, does the error go away?

Are you facing this issue with a specific project or all the projects?

[innogate]

I’m afraid not. When I go to “Add Library->MyEclipse Libraries” the only libraries I am offered are ICEFaces libraries of various versions. Those J2EE libraries were definitely not registered.

[innogate]

I am facing this problem with all projects that use those libraries.

Oliver,
If you go to Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration, are there any plugins listed under MyEclipse that show load errors?

Also if you go to Window > Prefs > MyEclipse > Java Enterprise Project > Library Sets, and click Restore Defaults, does that fix the references?

If you go to Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration, are there any plugins listed under MyEclipse that show load errors?

No, but the list of installed plugins looks rather short. For example, under “MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench 6.5.1” there are only these sub-features:
– Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) Runtime + End-User Tools
– EMF Service Data Objects (SDO)
– Graphical Editing Framework
– Maven4MyEclipse
– XML Schema Infoset Model (XSD) twice

Also if you go to Window > Prefs > MyEclipse > Java Enterprise Project > Library Sets, and click Restore Defaults, does that fix the references?

Now that you mention it, this preference page is also missing 🙁

Under “MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench” I only see the following sub-preferences:

– Community Essentials
– Database Explorer
– Files and Editors
– Matisse4MyEclipse/Swing
– Subscription
– Tapestry
– UML
– XDoclet

It just looks like some of the plugins just were not installed.

All … my … fault!

It turned out that I did not use the Eclipse 3.3 “Classic” Install but the Package “for Java Developers” instead. Using the “Classic” one (whose download is rather hidden on the eclipse site – maybe you should offer it directly from your site) will allow the Archived Update Site to install correctly.

Thanks for your help anyway and sorry for the confusion.

Ahhh good find innogate, glad it’s working now.
