Hi!

On Random, when pressing the “delete” key on my keyboard to delete a selected area of a JSP-file, the editor responds by popping up a dialog that says that the operation could not be performed. When I press “OK”, the selected text is gone, showing that the operation worked ok.

Sorry if this is a duplicate of an earlier error, couldn’t find anything similar.

My MyEclipse is version 3.8.4, eclipse version Version: 3.0.1, Build id: 200409161125

[Øyvind Johansen]

Additional comments on the bug: When the bug appears, saving the file will no longer work. You can edit the file as normal, but I can’t press “delete” and saving doesn’t do anything good (ctrl+s anyway). Only workaround is to close the IDE and restart MyEclipse.

oyvind, check our your log file (workspace dir\.metadata\.log) and see if there are exceptions from the editor that could help us track down what is going on.

I actually saw this last night with the Java Editor, it was the first time I had ever seen it. Are you sure that simply closing and reopening the editor doesn’t fix the problem?

Well, here’s something (from the 103MB large log file!)

Hrrm, I’ll go ahead and file this and see if we can figure out what is going on. In the mean time the obvious workaround is to stop using your keyboard while programming =/

Ok well maybe not, we’ll see what we can find 😉

I experienced two problems with JSP editor when I installed MyEclipse 3.8.4.
1. Pressing Delete key on JSP editor pops up error message.
2. Whatever I type on the JSP editor appeared backward (e.g. typed “ABC”, it appeared as “CBA”.

What I found out is my PATH environment variable found JDK1.5.0 first. I changed the PATH env. variable to use JDK1.4.1_03 and the above problems were resolved.

[Riyad Kalla]

Justin,
This is very interesting as we know Eclipse/MyEclipse are not certified with JDK 5.0 yet but we hadn’t imagined that the side effect would be so drastic. I will pass this along to the rest of the team so they are aware of it. Thanks.

Just for the record, I’ve seen the exact same problem on multiple workstations running different operating systems (mandrake 2.4 kernel/debian 2.6 kernel, w2k and XP) but all with JDK1.4.2_X.

For me, the JSP editor behaved -far- better when I changed my ‘prelude’ (top) include from static to dynamic inclusion. For some reason, MyEclipse was tagging a lot of errors in my include. The thing was that basically some variables were declared before the included fragment on which it depended. The validator (or partioner or jsp parser) was not picking that up, which in turn seemed to confuse the editor. This confusion resulted in the erratic behaviour I reported earlier.

Did you make sure to name the includes with the .jspf extension as the JSP spec suggests you should?

[Zardo]

I think this is not a problem with jdk 1.5 because I’m using j2sdk 1.4.2_05.
When I press the delete key, a popup message appears: “The command for the key you pressed failed”.
If I press any other letter key, the cursor stays in the same position and the next letter comes before the another. (the word became backwards).

[Riyad Kalla]

Zardo,
Which editor are you in? Is this while editing HTML?

Our HTML editor/designer is going to be completely rewritten for the next release, so we may need to ask you to hold off and wait for that release for a fix. Additionally another user ran into similar problems with 3.8.4 and said 3.8.3 did not have these problems, maybe downgrading if necessary may help OR associating your HTML files with a different editor (like the JSP Editor) temporarily.

[clone92]

I’m using MyEclipse 3.8.4 and JDK1.4.2 on XP SP2. I’m getting this error when editing java files, copying & pasting and formatting using keyboard shortcuts. Interestingly I’ve been using 3.8.4 for a few weeks and I can’t remember if I had this problem from when I initially started using 3.8.4, I suspect not, but anyway it’s virtually unbearable now. I have to retype! It’s just not natural.

I would give you specifics but I’m copying and pasting chunks of text between text files, JSP’s and Java files and its just “Error Executing Command” heaven for me 🙁

Strangely it seems to let you paste into a javadoc comment.

[Riyad Kalla]

Guys I am bumping this priority to P1 for us, it is rediculous that so many of you are experiencing this maddening problem.

[Dana Danet]

Not much more to add to this thread other than one additional oddity.

When editing html files using default editor and then trying to save I get the error below. Additionally I can continually reproduce this:

1. I delete the “html” file from my eclipse project.
2. Recreating the file with a different editor with the changes I want.
3. Shut down eclipse, verify file is missing from my project.
4. Add the file to the filesystem in my project.
5. Start myEclipse.
6. Refresh my project structure, file shows up.
7. Open file, and changes are not present.
8. It seems that myEclipse is viewing some type of cache copy of old file.

See below for exception trace.
