Hi,

 [devtools]$ sh EnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_4.1.1GA_E3.1.bin
Preparing to install...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...

Launching installer...

Unable to locate the application's 'main' class. The class 'com.zerog.ia.installer.Main' must be public and have a 'public static void main(String[])' method. (LAX)

/code]

Also, I  have JDK 1.5.

tulsirai ,

You have broken file, probably.However, I suggest that you try manula install, special for new linux platform
You have instructions here http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-3424.html

Please download and use the Manual Install. THe instructions on how to install it are included inside of the download.

Sorry for the inconvenience. The installer is most likely picking up GCJ and trying to run itself with that and dying. Instead of trouble shooting the installer, we just suggest using the manual install.

Hi there,
I followed your instruction – downloaded the manual installation, added and restarted eclipse. It gives me the following error:An internal error occurred during :Structured Builder”. I have installed the JDK1.5 but java -version gives me the following:java version “1.4.2”
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.0 20060304 (Red Hat 4.1.0-3)

is this a problem? Any suggestion to fix this?

Hi,

this is a problem and you can fix this easily.

The problem with fedora is that in /usr/bin is a Softlink ‘java’ to gcj, that will be used because it is in the path before the newly installed jdk.
You just have to remove the link or put the newly installed jdk in the path before /usr/bin.

cool. you’re the man! I just did the last option – putting the newly installed jdk first in the path. thanks for the help. Another question – i know its even very simple one but i don’t seem to figure out – The font size in myeclipse is really bigger – how can i configure them to my likings? thanks.

[Riyad Kalla]

You need to go to your Appearance > Colors and Fonts settings, you can adjust the MyEclipse fonts from there. I think we had a bug where the Structure fonts weren’t actually connected to the editors and the Text font was what was being read, so you might need to change that as well.

[Tulsi Rai]

hi there,
I couldn’t find the Appearance > Colors and Fonts settings in myEclipse and in Linux as well. could you please explain me in little detail? thanks.

[Tulsi Rai]

Oh…Actually I figured it out. thanks.

[Riyad Kalla]

Glad it’s working.

As a small addition to this topic – I had a crack at installing MyEclipse5M2 in fedora core 5 – and found that although running the binary install fail – you can still use it. Just cd to the install dir (/tmp/install.dir.<pid> ) and run something like the following

./Linux/resource/jre/bin/java -classpath ./InstallerData/installer.zip com.zerog.ia.installer.Main

This worked perfectly for me – so I’d suggest giving it a go if you don’t fancy doing a manual install
