Hi

I just installed myeclipse on my brand new box. Install was a bit strange:

o First I installed eclipse 3.2.1. No problems, works fine. I’m installing
on a disk called “H:”.[/list]

o Then I installed “MyEclipseEnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_5.1.0GA_E3.2.1”, and that
was sort of strange:
o After clicking on the self-exctractor, it extracts itself and then asks for
a location to store itself. This process repeats, for each iteration it creates
a directory with a name like “I1168510704”. If i click “cancel” it will remove
the directory it created last.
o The I1168510704 directory contains a “windows” directory, and inside that
directory there is an executable called
“MyEclipseEnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_5.1.0GA_E3.2.1”
(it is a “Macrovision launch anywhere” file).
I start that executable, and what appears to be a normal install happens.
o When starting myEclipse, everything looks normal.

o I then try to upgrade using Help>Software updates> <<anything>>
_whatever_ I try to upgrade results in the error message:

“Resulting configuration does not contain the platform”

I just don’t understand this. I don’t know what I’ve done wrong, and I certainly don’t know
what caused this behavior. Can you help me?

Yours sincerely

Bjørn Remseth

The installer sounds like it went screwey… how bit was it? It should be around 210MB in size.

217 MB

Hmm that’s all correct but the rest of what happens just sounds strange.

Does MyEclipse seem to be working, can you see the preferences under Window > Prefs > MyEclipse alright?

Can you check your log file (<workspace dir>\.metadata\.log) for exceptions during startup to see what might be causing the conflict? (hint: you can shut down ME, erase the log file, then start it back up. A new log file will be created).

Looks fine.

Log file looks a bit weird. After deletion of old file and startup, it looks like this

Does this help you in finding a diagnosis?

We don’t test with Java 6 just yet, but this should mostly work.

Do you have another copy of GEF under your <Eclipse dir>\plugins dir, or is this file only available under <MyEclipse dir>\eclipse\plugins dir? You want to make sure you have atleast your MyEclipse version of GEF working.

Not sure what is going on here… maybe something wrong with the Eclipse update sites?

Tried to reinstall using JDK 5, and that worked much better. Now myEclipse run through the installation
without errors (the unpacking of the installer still fails, but the actuall install runs without any error
messages), and is able to find updates. I even managed to get one of my projects out of CVS into
a workspace. This was very encuraging.

However, when exiting myeclipse and restarting i, things go badly:

The package explorer gives an error message “Unable to create view: Invalid code atrribute name index 0 in class file org/eclipse/jdt/i/actions/FormatAllAction”. Viewing details gives me this stacktrace:

Ok we need to take a step back here, this is proving to be much harder than it should due to incomplete and corrupted installs and downloaded files.

Let’s try this:

1) Please go to our download section and download the All-In-One installer for Windows
2) Run it, install to a *new* directory
3) Run the installed MyEclipse, Open your workspace
4) Celebrate

The all-in-one installer is a preconfigured setup of JDK, Eclipse and MyEclipse all optimized to run together. No monkey business, just install and go.
