Hi,

I just update MyEclipse for Spring 10.1 to 10.5 from within the application (using the MyEclipse dashboard) on OS X 10.7.4. I used the all-in-one bundle. I’m not sure if I started with the 10.1 all-in-one or whether I updated it from the 10.0 all-in-one.

Anyway, the update to 10.5 completed and asked me to restart I did, and now I get a window saying that “An error occurred” and pointing to a log file every time I start the application. That log file is fairly long (about 600k) and complains about missing references. Here’s an example:

!MESSAGE Bundle reference:file:/Library/Genuitec/Common/plugins/com.genuitec.eclipse.springhibernate_10.5.0.me201205241913.jar was not resolved.

This file exists and is the proper place. There are more files missing like that, and you see this error at the bottom of the file:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2012-07-14 15:15:33.580
!MESSAGE Application error

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to acquire application service. Ensure that the org.eclipse.core.runtime bundle is resolved and started (see config.ini).

at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:577)
at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1410)

Now when I start MyEclipse the next, there are different missing files listed in the new log file.

I’m dead in the water since MyEclipse won’t launch anymore. Can anybody help?

Seldon_Systems,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue.

1. Did you add any third party plugins to 10.1 which might have caused conflicts after updating to 10.5 ? If yes then please list them.

2. Can you please check if a reinstall of 10.5 fixes the issue ? You can reinstall ME 10.5 using Pulse.

Here are the steps –

1. Open Pulse (Start > Programs > Pulse > Pulse Explorer or download the same from http://www.poweredbypulse.com)
2. Login to Pulse, you can also login anonymously.
3. Select “Eclipse – Indigo” realm from top left hand drop-down
4. Select “MyEclipse 10” from *My Profiles*, right click on the same and click on [re-install and run]
5. Follow the wizard and restart the IDE when it prompts.

3. After the restart, switch to a new workspace and check if you still see the issue. If the issue persists, please copy paste the contents of the .log file which is located at <workspace dir>/.metadata/.log file for us to help investigate further.

Let us know how it works for you.

Seldon_Systems,

To add to what Swapna has replied, please note that MyEclipse for Spring 10.5 is not yet available (due within the next two weeks) so you will have to reinstall MyEclipse for Spring 10.1 to get round this problem (which can be done from Pulse or an all-in-one installer). The update to 10.5 should have worked and updated the MyEclipse features (MyEclipse for Spring 10.5 will also have additional updates), so it’s not clear what happened here.

I downloaded the 10.1 all-in-one installer and reverted back to 10.1. After that, the update to 10.5 didn’t show up anymore in the dashboard update list where it was before. However, this morning I saw it on a colleague’s machine again. We stay away from it.

MyEclipse seems to be confused somewhat – my machine reports as “10.0” in the about dialog, but the config center says it’s 10.1 and doesn’t show any update:
