hi,
I have created a simple java project, with the structure:
Test2
Test2/src
Test2/WebRoot
Test2/WebRoot/lib
Test2/WebRoot/classes

I am try to convert this to a Web Module Project as per your instructions.

I select Test2>MyEclipse>WebProject Configuration.

Then I select Browse for the WebRoot Directory.
Nothing pops up, and when I look in the log file I see the following error.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Sharon

Well, I gave this example a try and was unable to reproduce the problem, but obviously something is amiss here.

First, even though it worked for me as specified, the lib and classes subdirectories should be contained in WebRoot/WEB-INF, not in WebRoot itself.

Also, can you verify exactly which versions of MyEclipse and Eclipse you are using? The Eclipse version can be found by navigating to Help->About Eclipse Platform and reporting the Version and Build Id fields. The MyEclipse version can be found on the same dialog once ‘Feature Details’ is selected.

I tried this again, and still had the same result.
Version and build for Eclipse:
Version: 2.1.0
Build id: 200303272130

MyEclipse 2.1.1

Thanks,
Sharon

Sharon,

Even though I couldn’t directly recreate the problem, I’ve entered this as a defect into our internal tracking system so that it will have to be cleared before the GA release.

To help us run this down: Does the project you’re converting happen to be the only project in your workspace?

As a workaround, would you try creating, rather than converting, the project with the “new web project” wizard. Then, move the files you need from your test project to the new one. Please let me know if that works as expected.

Hello,
I have the same problem and th same error with myEclipse
I’ve tried to convert some projects and it does’nt work
Even on new project it is the same error
i am working in a bank and for the others it’s working

[Scott Anderson]

Amus,

Please post your full configuration information as we request in the Posting Guidelines thread in this forum and one of our support engineers will be glad to look at this. Have you tried to determine what’s different in your environment versus the others where you work where everything is working correctly?

–Scott

My eclipse version is the same than the others have :
Eclipse Platform

Version: 2.1.1
Build id: 200306271545
i use the j2sdk1.4.1_01 but i have tried this with the jre1.3 too

[support-michael]

Thanks for the feedback. We are researching this problem now. Can you tell me more about about your project configuration (e.g., linked resources used) or better yet send me a copy of a problematic project that we can test against? If yes, email a zipped project to support@genuitec.com and address to my attention.

Regards,

Michael

Hi,

I’m experiencing the same problem. I only installed Eclipse and myEclipse yesterday for the first time (very impressive apart from this!) and can replicate the problem starting from a completely clean workspace (no projects) as follows:

1. Create new java project

2. Go to project properties
->Java build path
->source tab
->add new folder called ‘src’
->ok
->ok
->Confirm that I want to remove project as source folder and update build output folder
->OK

3. Right click on project and select myeclipse-> add webproject capabilities

…The browse button depresses but has no effect, same with the finish button and I get the same error as earlier in this thread

My info is:

What operating system and version are you running? Windows 2000 5.00.2195 SP4, fully patched

What Eclipse version and build id are you using? Version 2.1.2 build id 200311030802
– Was Eclipse freshly installed for MyEclipse? Yes, yesterday
– If not, was it upgraded to its current version using the update manager?
– Are any other external plugins installed? No
– How many plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory are like org.eclipse.pde.* 7

What MyEclipse version are you using? 2.6.200

What JDK version are you using to run Eclipse? (java -version) 1.4.0_01

What JDK version are you using to launch your application server? 1.4.0_01

What steps did you take that resulted in the issue? See above

What application server are you using? Tomcat 5

Hope this all helps.

Scott,
When you tried to reproduce this problem, were you running on Windows XP? I wonder if this is a OS-specific issue.

I’m running XP,E2.1.2,ME2.7RC2 and just tried this and it worked fine.

[Scott Anderson]

All,

I believe this might be an issue with using JDK 1.4.0 with Eclipse. 1.4.0 was notoriously buggy and has been problematic in many areas. If possible, I’d suggest installing a current JDK version and retesting.

It worked! I updated to 1.4.2 and now have no problem.

Many thanks for the swift response – I shall buy my subscription straight away…
