I tried to installed Enterprise Workbench 2.7 RC 2 in Eclipse 2.1.2 that already had the UML2 and VE (Visual Editor) projects installed. When starting Eclipse after the install, I got a message that it couldn’t finish the install because of some problems. The details tab mentioned something about the EMF jars, I believe (I tried to reproduce the problem but each time I install now it doesn’t even try to finish when loading that version of Eclipse).

I installed a fresh 2.1.2 in a whole new directory and Enterprise Workbench installed fine.

Are you working at all on the concurrent installation of your product with other Eclipse ‘addons’? I’m quickly finding the Visual Editor and UML tools indispensible and don’t wish to maintain separate Eclipse installs of these apps. I think the combo of the UML2 and Enterprise Workbench are especially important.

Have you tried installing in this order:
1) Eclipse
2) Run eclipse, close it
2.5) Install EMF
3) Install VE
4) Install UML
5) Run eclipse and say yes to the new plugins, install them and close it
6) Install MyEclipse?

The UML2, VE and MyEclipse are all very heavy weight plugins, i would try installing them (running eclipse) 1 at a time. I have the VE plugin installed along side my installation and don’t currenlty have any problems, but I admit I haven’t tried install the UML2 plugin.

However if I’m not mistaken the VE plugin did need the EMF (or GEF) plugins…

I reinstalled eclipse as you suggested and it indeed worked. Thanks

No problem, I’m glad it worked.
