I am following the JSF tutorial. When I open the userLogin.jsp file with the Visual JSF Designer the only thing I get is the source file. No palette appears, no additional tabs appear. The JSF designer is not available.

What now?

ctxhills,

1) Can you please share the Installation Details from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details ?

2) Can you please attach the screenshot of the JSP file which is opened in MyEclipse Visual JSP designer to help us investigate further ?

ctxhills,

You can re-enable the WYSIYWG design mode for experimental use by including the flag: -Dmac.experimental=true at the end of myeclipse.ini file.

Take a look at this FAQ for detailed information : https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/features-visual-web-designer-availability-pre-2013/

Let us know how it works for you.

[John Henry]

Pradeep,

Last recommendation did not work. Still no gui design aids.

ctxhills,

I’ve just tried this on a Mac, with a Carbon MyEclipse for Spring install, and had no problems. Please check that the last part of your myeclipseforspring.ini file looks something like this:

-vmargs
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=64m
-Dosgi.nls.warnings=ignore
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts
-XstartOnFirstThread
-Dmac.experimental=true

For hints on where to find the correct ini file, look at this FAQ.
