I’ve got 7.1 installed via Pulse on two Ubuntu 8.04 LTS hosts, one Sony desktop, one Thinkpad. ME runs normally, including the embedded web browser on the Thinkpad but on the Sony it can’t use the internal browser.

Sorry to hear that you have encountered this issue. I will have a dev team member assist you with this issue.

rmcvay,
I would like you to try something out. Can you go to MyEclipse > Manage MyEclipse plugins and install all the plugins that are available on that screen. Does that bring the web browser back?

[rmcvay]

Thanks, Nipun. It appears the internal web browser has been bundled into the subversion plugin instead of the core IDE. Off hand I’d say that’s a packaging error that needs to be corrected.

[David Robertson]

I get this too, and installing the Subversion plugin seemed to get it to work (temporarily!). When MyEclipse was restarted, the browser worked, but when I came back into MyEclipse the next day, the problem recurred.

It occurs still and the subversion plugin is still installed.

Is there any more information re: a fix for this?

[Loyal Water]

Guys,
The dev team is already working on fixing this issue. Im glad the workaround worked for you’ll so you guys are not stuck with this issue.

[rmcvay]

Final note. I found the laptop was actually at 7.1.0 so I allowed it to update to 7.1.1. After restarting I found the subversion plugin was installed (it wasn’t before) and the internal browser was available. As a test I uninstalled the subversion plugin and the internal browser was still available. So the laptop behaves differently from the desktop in that the subversion plugin must be installed for the desktop to have an internal web browser. Fun and games. 🙂

Hey Ray,

Good to hear, you have everything figured out.

Best.

[BoatAshoreMinsitry]

I have been trying to install this package on Ubuntu 8.10 for about three hours now and I am giving up. The browser will work initially after installing the subversion plug, but upon restart I continue to get the error that it can not find the internal browser. I have specified an external browser in the Preferences but this does not help. I am at the end of my rope and will be seeking a different IDE.

[David Robertson]

Is there an ETA on the patch from the dev team? An earlier message implied that there was work being done on this issue.

Thanks

[Loyal Water]

We are actually in the middle of working on resolving this for 7.5 right now.
