I’m having trouble intalling the PDS plugins.

I have directory structure as follows:

– dropins
— plugins
— org.pentaho.designstudio.editors.actionsequence_3.0.0.37993
— org.pentaho.designstudio.editors.core_3.0.0.37994

I have some log output complaining about a missing manifest file under plugins. Both plugin directories contain a META-INF\MANIFEST.MF file.

!MESSAGE An error occurred while generating manifest for C:\Users\alanhay\AppData\Local\Genuitec\MyEclipse 7.5\dropins\plugins.; artifact folder at C:\Users\alanhay\AppData\Local\Genuitec\MyEclipse 7.5\dropins\plugins has files: org.pentaho.designstudio.editors.actionsequence_3.0.0.37993(dir), org.pentaho.designstudio.editors.core_3.0.0.37994(dir)

Seems to be a firly common problem for whatever reason. Haven’t been able to find any definitive answer.

alanhay,

I don’t have visibility to your system. Can you answer few questions –
1. Copy and paste your installation details here. You can get it from MyEclipse IDE menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details.
2. How did you install ME 7.5? Have you installed a fresh copy using all-in-one installer / using pulse / using archived update site?
3. Or have you upgraded to ME 7.5 from a previous version, if yes, what was the previous version?
4. Can you give me the link of this 3rd party plugin and its version

There are many reasons you could be facing this issue. I will try to list some of them below –
1. Incomplete or corrupted download of plugin
2. Plugin version not supporting the base eclipse version. Since you are on ME 7.5, please verify the version of your plugin is compatible to the base eclipse 3.5
3. Dependency conflicts. You can use pulse to fix dependency conflicts.
a) From MyEclipse menu click on Help > Software Updates > Manage in Pulse explorer. This will open pulse explorer and by default will list your current MyEclipse profile. Right click on “MyEclipse 7.5” and from the context menu click on [Re-install and run].
b) If you are not able to open MyEclipse IDE, open pulse explorer manually, look for the file here ~\Genuitec\Pulse Explorer\pulse-explorer.exe. You can login anonymously. This will redirect you to the explorer. Expand “My Profiles”. It will list you all your MyEclipse profiles. Select “MyEclipse 7.5”. Notice right hand pane will list you base, personal and shared software. Personal software will list you all your 3rd party plugins and features. Next, right click on “MyEclipse 7.5” and from context menu click on [Re-install and run].

Let me know how this works for you.

Okay, this seems to have addressed the issue.

I did have Flex Builder 3 installed which I have now lost sop don’t know if that was cauing any issues. Will try to reinstall and see what happens.

Please try the above steps and let me know whether that fixed your issue.
