since I have a working eclipse-3R8 install and want to keep it for now I went the zip route to try out the new version (beta) in a separately installed Eclipse-3M9

first: all myeclipse classes in the zip are labled as 3.7.101 – is this correct?

second: althugh installation seems fine and everything seems to work (at least the part of myeclipse that I use) I get messae about configuration error when I try to use the eclipse update manager to install any other updates:

MyEclipse Core Tooling (3.7.101) requires plugin “org.apache.xerces”

I copied the xerces from the M8 install but still get this error

Correct. We’re reserving 3.8.0 for the GA release so we pick release numbers less than that numerically so the Eclipse update manager will still recognize them as an update.

second: althugh installation seems fine and everything seems to work (at least the part of myeclipse that I use) I get messae about configuration error when I try to use the eclipse update manager to install any other updates:
MyEclipse Core Tooling (3.7.101) requires plugin “org.apache.xerces”

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It’s actually caused by an erroneous entry in the core feature.xml file that lists org.apache.xerces as a pre-requisite of the feature. However, it really isn’t and will be corrected in the Beta 2 release. You should be able to safely ignore this warning if it’s not causing problems. If it is, I’d suggest that you install Eclipse M9 alone, run the update on everything you’d like to, then shutdown and install MyEclipse as you did before. Alternatively, you can open <my-eclipse-install>/eclipse/plugins/com.genuitec.myeclipse.core_3.7.101/feature.xml and remove the line in the requires section that lists org.apache.xerces.

thanks for the explanation

re. the error:
I have a file
C:\myeclipse-beta\eclipse\plugins\com.genuitec.eclipse.core_3.7.101\plugin.xml

but there is no entry in the requires section that relates to xerces

looking forward to Beta 2 🙂

C:\myeclipse-beta\eclipse\plugins\com.genuitec.eclipse.core_3.7.101\plugin.xml
but there is no entry in the requires section that relates to xerces

Of course there isn’t, because if you read my first response very closely you’ll see that the file you’re referring to is not the one I referenced. 🙂

so it is in the feature folder. and when I removed it I get “Error creating feature ‘file:/C:/Program Files/MyEclipse/eclipse/features/com.genuitec.myeclipse.core_3.7.101/’ [Document root element is missing”.
But I checked the xml again and it looks fine. Here it is minus the license:

The issue is most likely that Eclipse cached the feature configuration. You’ll probably need to shutdown Eclipse and delete <eclipse-install>/configuration in order to cause Eclipse to rebuild the configuration.

thanks!

I had the same problem.

It was fixed by following the instructions above but for the correctly refered file which is:

<my-eclipse-install>/eclipse/features/com.genuitec.myeclipse.core_3.7.101/feature.xml

Hope this helps someone else.
