    I am installing MyEclipse 2.7RC2 on a fresh Eclipse 2.1.2 on Windows XP.

    I get the MyEclipse perspective, and I can register my subsciption, but I can’t select any app servers (I have Tomcat installed) or editors. The MyEclipse menubar item only has options for “MyEclipse Home” and “About MyEclipse”.

    What am I missing?

    Thanks!

    -Mike

    Mike,
    You need to enable and setup the appropriate server here:
    Windows>Prefs>MyEclipse>App Servers>Tomcat 5 (I’m guessing you wnated 5)

    It won’t let me choose Tomcat 5; In the Customize Perspective… option, I only get MyEclipse – core as the only MyEclipse option.

    Sorry I should have been more clear, I meant click the following menus in this order:
    Windows>Prefs>MyEclipse>App Servers>Tomcat 5

    Don’t forget to setup the JDK you want to run Tomcat 5 (its the JDK child node under Tomcat 5).

    Nope, the App Servers option doesn’t have anything underneath it.

    hmm… just to clarify, when you click the Window menu, go down and click Preferences and the dialog pops up, you can see the “MyEclipse” preference root right? If you expand it, the first child should be “Application Servers”, and if you expand that you should get a long list of application servers.

    From your message I’m gathering that you see the MyEclipse node, and all the nodes under it, but when you expand ‘Application Servers’ there is nothing under it, is this correct?

    Can you try and expand the other MyEclipse nodes, like Editors and so forth… do you see children under them? Can you click them and configure options?

    Exactly, the only one that has child nodes is XDoclet, all the rest have no children.

    Hmm this is strange indeed. Can you click on Help->About and do you see teh MyEclipse logo? If you click it do you see a list of plugins that ends in about 5 plugins from “Genuitec, LLC”?

    If so, try and restart Eclipse and see if that helps. Also consider closing eclipse, erasing the <eclipse install>\workspace\.metadata\.config directory and starting Eclipse again.

    Is there anything strange about the permissions on your machine? What JDK are you running?

    Also I would add that when you install Eclipse/MyEclipse, you want to unzip Eclipse, then run it once to allow it to setup the environemnt. Then close it, then run the MyEclipse installer. Did you install both back to back without starting Eclipse first, the first time?

    Ahhhh, I think my problem is that I don’t have the PDE installed, just the platform and JDT..

    We usually suggest (require?) that people download/use the SDK

    Yup, that worked. I didn’t read anywhere that I needed the PDE though. Maybe that’s a FAQ question?

    Yes if its not readily available information it should definately go into a doc somewhere. Thanks for the tip.
