Installed 3.8.1 (cold install, not update) and the quickfix. Launched eclipse. Couldn’t open JSP’s. An error box pops up that says “Unable to create part:” and then the editor window simply says “An error has occurred when creating this editor”
Noticed that under Windows / Preferences / MyEclipse the first entry is now “%preferencePage” (?) with “%driversPreferences” under it, and there’s “%editorPreferences” right under “Editors”. Wierd.
Removed MyEclipse and Eclipse completely. Re-installed Eclipse 3.0, then MyEclipse 3.8.1 and quick fix. Started up Eclipse with -clean on an old workspace. Same thing.
Started up Eclipse without specifying a workspace. Selected the standard eclipse/workspace directory (which I hadn’t used yet). Tried to create a new Web Project. Got an error dialog
!NewProjectCreationWizard.op_error.message!
org/jdom/JDOMExceptionWent back and was more systematic. Removed everything, installed eclipse, fired it up on an empty workspace, installed 3.8.1, fired up eclipse again. At this point, the funky % stuff wasn’t there. Then shut down eclipse, installed the quick fix, fired eclipse back up, and things seemed to work ok.
Bottom line – it appears that the quick fix breaks a “cold” installation of 3.8.1 – you have to invoke Eclipse after 3.8.1 is installed and before you apply the quick fix.
Aaargh. got ahead of myself. Hadn’t installed the quick fix after all. (got distracted just when I was getting ready to, and when I got back I thought I had.) When I installed it, ran eclipse with -clean again, I’m back to the same situation as before. JSP editor’s broken, % entries are showing up under the Preferences, etc.
I have a buddy that installed the quick fix without any problem, but he had had 3.8.0 and used the update to get to 3.8.1, rather than installing 3.8.1 directly. Don’t know if that’s the difference or not.
Can you shut down Eclipse, go and erase the <eclipse dir>\configuration dir, restart Eclipse and re-add MyEclipse via the Help > Software Updates > manage configuration… mechanism that is outlined in the manual install instructions?
Also when you installed the Quickfix, did it prompt you to overwrite files?
I believe this is a quickfix install problem. It looks like the method you used to install the fix completely replaced the plugin directories contained in the fix, rather than just the files contained. Please see this thread for a rundown on the issue:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-3503-highlight-quickfix.htmlSigh. I really need to apologize to you guys. This was completely and utterly an RTFM problem on my part, and no fault of yours whatsoever. I misread the installation instructions on the quick-fix, and was unzipping the quick fix into the eclipse plugins directory instead of the myeclipse area. I misread <myeclipse-inst-dir>/eclipse/plugins as <eclipse-inst-dir>/eclipse/plugins (a pretty significant two-letter difference). This didn’t dawn on me until I noticed that I wasn’t getting any “do you want to overwrite” questions and then really looked at what was going on.
It obviously worked for my co-worker because he is capable of reading. Sheesh!
As Emily Latella was wont to say… “Never mind!”
