Any idea why whenever I try to open an HTML document with the Designer, it starts loading the designer (it puts up a dialog saying “yeah, I’m loading the Designer libraries”) and then crashes Eclipse completely?

I get no crash logs, no modal dialog boxes, no nothing… just no Eclipse. It saves the workspace, too… so it’s a graceful crash.

I’m baffled.

Laterz,
J

PS – WinXP Pro SP2, Eclipse 3.1, MyEclipse 4.1.1, JVM 1.5.0_06 and/or JVM 1.4.2_09 (happens with either JVM)

What is your version of IE on your machine? Did you install IE 7 Beta by chance?

Also please paste the result of MyEclipse > About > Configuration Summary for us (not the one under Help > About), that will give us the detailed info we need.

Are you checking your log file <workspace dir>\.metadata\.log for exceptions after it kills the workbench? THat sounds brutal. Try restarting using the -clean command line argument and try adjusting your VM args incase it’s a VM crash due to space (although a dialog should come up in that case): http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-10087.html

I’m not sure why this is so common, please look at my instructions above:

Also please paste the result of MyEclipse > About > Configuration Summary for us (not the one under Help > About), that will give us the detailed info we need.

You posted the Help > About giant dump, please post the one I asked for. It makes for a sane amount of information to dig through first. If you don’t have a “Configuration Summary” button under your MyEclipse About dialog, then go back to your Help > About > Configuration Summary dialog, and just post the top half. When it starts listing off plugins chop it and post that part.

[ArmchairDeity]

It’s so common because there IS no MyEclipse > About > Configuration Summary, and, in lieu of that, you never said the part about “just the top half of the other about box” so I gave you what I could find. Accurate and/or complete instructions are extremely helpful to support clients.

I shall post what you’re asking for shortly.

Thanks,
J

It’s so common because there IS no MyEclipse > About > Configuration Summary

My appologies, it was added in our 4.0.1 release and in your first post you said you are running 4.1.1.

My comment was more out of curiosity than anything. When we ask for this information, we are at about a 1 out of 8 hit ratio so far and we can’t figure out why it’s such a low accuracy rating. We tossed some ideas around internally and decided that the wording was too similar to the other dialog, and that might confuse folks that a) don’t see it or b) just read the end of the command sequence. So instead of saying “I don’t have that button” they post a huge dump that makes it a bit more trouble to dig through for the information.

So assuming you are running MyEclipse 4.1.1, can you take a screenshot of your MyEclipse > About menu and post it for me, I don’t know why the button isn’t showing up, that might be an issue we aren’t aware of which would explain this issue.

[ArmchairDeity]

Riyad… thanks for the clarification.

I started over again with the Eclipse/CFEclipse/MyEclipse install and now I have the correct menus, anyway. I’m not sure what was up before.

There’s that… sorry for being annoyed. I looked for what you instructed me to post for about 10 minutes before thinking “eh, must just be wording” and posting what I knew I could find. I guess your instructions were accurate, so my apologies, but the alternative (“or just the first have of the Eclipse > About… yadda”) would be helpful.

Let me know if there’s anything I can send you to further this investigation.

Thanks,

GADS…

Apparently this time I installed in this order: Eclipse, MyEclipse, CFEclipse, and didn’t install FlexBuilder at all. What happened?

Well, the HTML Designer works fine, the CFEclipse stuff works fine… it all looks good.

There must be a conflict between ME 4.1.1 and FB2. Any ideas?

Thanks,
J

[Riyad Kalla]

Ahh yea we did have someone report to us a while back that FlexBuilder had a conflict with MyEclipse, and while we looked into it and didn’t see any glaring errors, we had a report back from a big corporate client that MyEclipse + FlexBuilder is “the best IDE on the planet and works great!”… so we chalked that one up to possible version conflicts as they had quite a large install base and *all* the devs were using that combination.

I’m not farmiliar with FB much so I don’t know how often they release, if they do nightlies or if they are on Eclipse 3.0, 3.1 or 3.2 yet, so it’s hard to guess what the issue was.

Either way, we will have a brand new designer in MyEclipse 5.0, so whatever conflict was there, should hopefully be resolved.
