I was trying to create a basic JSF web application under myEclipse 8.6. Unfortunately I couldn’t open any jsf file by visual JSF designer. Actually I couldn’t open that under 8.5 either. The error msg is:

Could not open the editor: org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xml.type.impl.AnyTypeImpl cannot be cast to org.eclipse.jst.jsf.tagdisplay.internal.paletteinfos.PaletteInfos

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xml.type.impl.AnyTypeImpl cannot be cast to org.eclipse.jst.jsf.tagdisplay.internal.paletteinfos.PaletteInfos

I tried different work space and got same error. I also tried to restart myEclipse by “myeclipse.exe -clean”, and it doesn’t work either. Could you give me some suggestion? thanks a lot.
