I upgraded an existing MyEclipse 6 to MyEclipse 8.5. Now whenever I open an XML configuration file (faces-config.xml, for example) I get multiple java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException errors and the Design tab no longer shows anything, though I can see Source. The Flow tab with the Faces workflow diagram is corrupted but shows the nodes. What can I do about this?

[Robert J. Muller]

Any suggestions for something to try to fix this? It’s really getting in my way for doing my Faces work.

Hello,

I’m going to place this post in the MyEclipse Installation/Upgrades forum category, and notify the appropriate support personnel to take a look at this post asap.

Kind regards,
Dave

I’ve narrowed the problem down at this point to the Web XML Editor and the JSF Config Editor. The XML Editor works fine.

arabidopsis,

Sorry to hear you are running into this issue. Can you answer few queries for me to get to the root cause?
1. Open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and copy and paste the same here.
2. How did you upgrade from ME 6 to ME 8.5?
3. Can you open .log file located at [your workspace dir]/.metadata/.log and copy and paste relevant issues here?
4. Can you send a sample project to support@genuitec.com which will help us replicate this issue. Please include ATTN:Joy in the subject and include the weblink for reference. This will help in quick tracing

Best.

I upgraded by downloading the complete 8.5 package (with Eclipse) and installing, then pointing the workspace to the old workspace. I also installed the appropriate plugins (Subclipse, CloverETL).

Steps to reproduce:

1. File->New->Web Project (to create a MyEclipse web project)
2. double-click on web.xml in WebRoot/WEB-INF

Zipped-up version of this project and the error log sent by email to support@genuitec.com as requested.

arabidopsis,

Thank you for the details. Acknowledging receipt of your email.

Best.

Updating the resolution, which was handled by email. The problem is a corrupt workspace issue of some kind, unspecified. The solution is to create a new workspace, copy the projects you want to use into it, then import them using New Project with the name of the project. This clears the problem.

Thank you arabidopsis.
