I am a long time MyEclipse Professional Subscription user and I am now both dismayed and disappointed.

I have never had need of the Matisse4MyEclipse plugin until now, and now that I need it on a short turn-around it does not work. I am running MyEclipse 5.1.1GA and Matisse4MyEclipse 5.1.1 (Full configuration details are below.

After FINALLY figuring out how to get to Matisse 5.1.1 (instead of 4.1.100 as outlined in the installation document), I installed and restarted. I selected File>New>Matisse Form, and everything seemed to be going fine until I noticed that the form editor window never fully initialized or became useful. In fact, if ANY window, or the windows start bar, overlays the MyEclipse editor window, the image of whatever window it was remains and never goes away unless I close the form editor. This includes the Help>About MyEclipse… window.

I realize I am probably missing something simple and stupid, but I truly DO NOT have time for these kinds of difficulties during development. ANY help is DESPERATELY needed!

Thank you SOOOOO much in advance.

Mark,
Sorry you ran into this issue. I’m 80% sure the problem is thatyou are running MyEclipse with Java 6, which we don’t support yet (it causes problems specifically with UML and M4M). I would strongly encourage you to download and install the latest 1.5.0 JDK (I think it’s up to service release 12 or 13 now). NOTE: When you install the JDK, if you uncheck the JRE component, it will simply unzip the JDK for you somewhere, then you can point your MyEclipse -vm argument at the javaw.exe executable.

Optionally, you could wait for our 5.5 release later today, download the All In One installer and just install that to a new location and open your existing workspace to continue working. You will be prompted on first launch to add M4M.

Riyad,

Thanks for the response. I’m watching for the 5.5 release, but so far I haven’t seen it. Never occured to me that the JDK might be causing the problem. Thanks again for your assistance.

Mark,
5.5 should go out tonight. Also 5.5 is not verified with Java 6 either, so using JDK 5 will still apply.

David,
When you install MyEclipse it should register the discovery site with the correct path for you. For MyEclipse 5.5 (not 5.1.1) the path is:
http://downloads.myeclipseide.com/downloads/products/eworkbench/discovery-5.5/

for example.
