    I recently installed 8.6.1 Pro on my new work computer running Windows 7 64-bit, and noticed that a bunch of editors that were present in my old system (XP 32-bit with an upgraded 8.0) are absent. No XML editor, no other HTML editor other than one that apparently is included in Eclipse, etc. – everything opens in the base text editor.

    Is this a problem with Windows 7 64-bit and MyEclipse support for that?

    JadedGamer,

    Sorry to hear you are running into this issue. Can you answer below queries for me to investigate further?
    1. Can you copy and paste your installation details here? Open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details
    2. How did you install ME? Meaning all-in-one installer / pulse / archived update site on top of eclipse classic.
    3. If you right click on an XML or JSP file, what editors do you see listed under “open with”?

    Used the all-in-one installer (myeclipse-8.6.1-win32.exe) as a non-admin user; I tried installing as an admin user earlier and then run as the non-admin but then it would not let me use the software update pane.

    Text Editor (as default), System Editor, In-place Editor, Default Editor and Other…

    Opening “Other” I see a bunch of editors that seem unrelated, except there is a “CSS JSP Editor” there (with proper syntax highlighting for JSP), some MyEclipse entries like UML1, Matisse and Visual SQL Query Editor, but no web page editor (though I think I saw that when I installed as an admin). No XML editors beyond those for schemas.

    I get “proper” XML support (including autocomplete based on schema) if I choose the “Standalone Structured Source Editor” option in the “Others…” list.

    Jared,

    From your installation summary, the installation seems to be fine.

    1) Can you try another workspace? Use File > Switch Workspace and use a new workspace in which you can create some dummy projects/files – our the editors now available?

    2) If the problem sill persists, can you check your error log for errors reported on startup? Could you paste or attach the log file here please?

    Created a fresh workspace, created a new Maven project using the wizard, and XML files still come up with Text Editor as choice.

    The in-Eclipse error log lists no relevant errors, not sure where the error log file ends up though…

    I’ve got the exact same problem. I upgraded from 8.6 to 8.6.1 using Pulse from the MyEclipse configuration center and now I no longer have the correct editors available. Was there a solution to this issue?

    MWThomson,

    Can you please let us know if you have tried the suggestions posted by Support-Brian ?
    If yes then how did it work for you ?

    Do you see any errors logged in the error log file which is located at <workspace dir>/.metadata/.log?
