What a beautiful day. The sun is shining, the trees are blooming, and the grass is turning green.

This morning I am having a new problem with MyEclipse 8.5 on Windows XP SP3.

No projects are being displayed in the Project Explorer when MyEclipse starts up.

I have to click on File > Switch Workspace > C:\Workspaces\MyEclipse 8.x, and then my 11 projects show up in the Project Explorer.

Stephen,
Can you give some more information?
1. Can you copy paste your installation details from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details?
2. How did you install MyEclipse8.5? Did you upgrade from previous version or did a clean install?

1. Here’s my Installation Details…
*** Date:
Thursday, April 1, 2010 9:00:32 AM CDT

** System properties:
OS=WindowsXP
OS version=5.1.0
Java version=1.6.0_13

*** MyEclipse details:
MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench
Version: 8.5
Build id: 8.5-20100319

*** Eclipse details:
MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench

Version: 8.5
Build id: 8.5-20100319

2. I did a clean install with a new workspace (C:\Workspaces\MyEclipse 8.x) and checked out my projects from SVN. My Web and Java Projects do not include IDE files like .project and .settings. The projects only contain a pom.xml which is used to configure the IDE settings when “Enable Dependency Management” is clicked.

Let me know if you have any more questions…

Cheers!

Stephen,

I appears that for some reason your installation is starting with the wrong workspace. Once you switch the workspace, you see the projects because you are now in the right worksapce.

When it starts with the bad workspace, can you try creating a new Java project? The Directory field in that wizard should tell you what workspace it is actually starting with. Is it <user.home>\workspace by any chance?

You seem to have already edited your myeclipse.ini file to force the workspace location with

-data
C:\Workspaces\MyEclipse 8.x 

Can you add a -clean flag before that? If it starts with the right workspace now, you could remove -clean and see if the issue remains solved.

Please let us know how it goes. Also, you mentioned a clean install – was that using Pulse or the Offline installer for MyEclipse 8.5?

Brian,

I started up MyEclipse 8.5, and tried to create a new Java project. The Directory is set to: C:\Documents and Settings\swick\Workspaces\MyEclipse 8.5.

Regarding the file myeclipse.ini, I never set the -data C:\Workspaces\MyEclipse 8.x. Here’s the contents of myeclipse.ini.

-install
C:/Program Files/Genuitec/MyEclipse 8.x Latest
-vm
C:/Program Files/Genuitec/Common/binary/com.sun.java.jdk.win32.x86_1.6.0.013/jre/bin/client/jvm.dll
-startup
../Common/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar
–launcher.library
../Common/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.200.v20090519
-configuration
configuration
-vmargs
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=64m

Adding the following line to myeclipse.ini caused MyEclipse 8.5 to open the desired workspace every time it starts.

-data
C:\Workspaces\MyEclipse 8.x

Unfortunately, i cannot remember how I originally installed MyEclipse 8.5. If there is a way for me to find out, let me know, and I’ll do it.

Thanks for your help.
