diakula,
There was an issue with the first day of our release (we had forgotten to increment one of the plugin versions) so Eclipse ended up loading the wrong copy of the plugin which is what you are seeing.

The fastest way to work around this is to download and use our All-In-One installer to a brand new directory, then reopen your existing workspace with it. This will require installing any additional plugins that are necessary (NOTE: We ship a good portion of Callisto and WTP under MyEclipse, so you likely won’t need to re-add those specifically but other things like subclipse need to be reinstalled).

Alternatively, if you upgraded from an older MyEclipse install, you can go to Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration, and disable the 5.1 upgrade, rolling back to the previous version. Then re-run the update manager and it will pickup the updated plugin and reapply the entire 5.1 upgrade. Although if you didn’t upgrade from a previous version, the easiest thing to do is going to be using the All-In-One installer.

We appologize for this headache. If you have trouble upgrading or need to try something else let me know and I can see if I can help.

I have a highly customized Eclipse, it would take me time to configure a new copy which I do not want to invest.

When do you expect that you will have a fixed plugin installation on the download site?

I want to evaluate myEclipse for use in our team.

Cheers.

By customized I meant many plugins, patches, as well as other settings.

Hmm ok then there are other ways to get this working. The basic issue here is that we use very slightly modified versions of the WST and JST plugins from WTP to support our new Validation Exclusion mechanism. When we first launched the 5.1 release, we forgot to increment those plugin versions, so for folks that had portions of WTP installed, when they installed 5.1, Eclipse was loading the default WST and JST plugins, not the modified MyEclipse versions so MyEclipse was breaking in this fashion.

We issues an update of the feature over the update manager with the bumped version for those plugins that fixed the issue for everyone that upgrdaded using the update manager. For folks that were doing clean installs it wasn’t a problem.

For folks that had customized versions of Eclipse (like you) with parts of WTP installed, a few of our users found that they had to go into the Manage Configuration dialog, and disable the WST/JST plugins from the WTP/Callisto install to allow the MyEclipse versions to load, and the problem was resolved.

I’ve seen quite a few different solutions to the problem but there isn’t one that works 100% of the time that’s why I tried to outline what the real issue was incase you might know of a way (in your particular setup) how to achieve the result faster.

Let me know if that helped at all.

Disabling the JST and WST plugins fixed this problem for me. I was only seeing exceptions when I tried to access the context menu in Java editor pane.

HY forum,

i have the same Problem, using MyEclipseIde with Eclipse WST Plugins. Disabling the WST-Plugins is for me no good Ibea because we develope an J2EE Project using WST/Server to start our Application-Server. Using MyEclipseIde’s WST-Plugins don’t let me start the App-Server like WST/Server. Im in an Team, but the other don’t use MyEclipseIde. So it’s n good Idea to start the Appl-Server with MyEclipseIde.

Do you have an Solution for this Problem?

Thanks

====================================
As it was set up from the time i installed my first version of MyEclipse (a long time ago!) I have the “Automatic Updates” set to look for updates each time the platform is started….
It worked for me very well and relatively fast until the latest update…
It takes now a long-long time to complete the search for updates…
Is it my local problem or it might be some kind of a bug?
Thank you!

It’s hard to say, if you are searching the Callisto Discovery Site, that *does* take a long time because there are so many projects under that site now. You may try and search one repository at a time.

Currently using ME 5.1.0 GA on win 2000 (sp4)

Checking for updates within eclipse 3.2.1 it shows 5.1.1 available (& eclipse 3.2.2 update) – never sure whether or not it’s safe to just install from here or have to create a new installation – can I do the update within eclipse?

thanks

harry

[Riyad Kalla]

Harry,
Yes you can do that update. I would point out that our 5.5 release is due out by the end of the day today though, so you might want to hold off and just download the new All In One installer for it and install it into a new directory instead.
