On 6.0.1, I have a project that has Spring capabilities and I want to add JPA. But if I use the menu item for adding JPA Capabilities, nothing happens – no dialog pops up. Eclipse lets me proceed with other stuff, so it’s as if the menu selection for JPA is just doing nothing. So far this is the only capabilities menu entry I’ve tried that doesn’t work. This is also the first time I’ve tried to add JPA to a project.

Does anyone know a cause for this, or what I should do to diagnose? Thanks in advance…

Can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

Is the Add JPA capabilities grayed out ?

[Steve Olson]

Sure – Add JPA is not greyed out – it’s enabled. Clicking on it just dismisses the menu and does nothing else i can see.

skolson,
Can you switch to a new workspace, create a new web project, Add Spring Capabilities to it followed by JPA capabilities. Does you face the same issue ?

[Steve Olson]

I found the problem – When I added Spring capabilities to the project in question, I used a UserLibrary that points to Spring 2.5.1 because I need a feature in Spring 2.5 (the ability to use parms in the parent attribute – parent=”xxx${someparm}”). If I don’t use MyEclipse’s Spring libraries (from 2.0.x), the Add JPA dialog doesn’t pop.

Am I just out-of-luck until MyEclipse supports Spring 2.5.x? Or is there a workaround for this?

[Loyal Water]

I’m sorry there is no workaround at the moment.

[clwandling]

Can I just add the jars to the project and then write annotations myself. Is the only thing I miss out on if I use Spring 2.5 the use of a dialog?

[Loyal Water]

Im really not sure if you can get things to work by just adding the jars. You might run into other issue. You can try this for a small project and see if it works before you apply it to your project.
