Hi to all,

I use Eclipse 3.0.1 and Myeclipse 3.8.2 with blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.
I use gentoo and the standard location for the portage is /usr/lib/[Application]
I can use eclipse with all user but MyEclipse it works only with root.
When I use myUser The workbench crash. “Unable to restore workbench”
I think I need copy some file from /root to /home/user

Some idea?

Thanks in advace

arnor,
When using MyEclipse trial version you MUST run Eclipse and MyEclipse as the same user, if you purchase a subscription you can run MyEclipse as a different user BUT even then, most people run into permission issues that manifest themselves in very screwey and time consuming ways to debug. I would HIGHLY suggest installing Eclipse and MyEclipse under your home dir and getting them working… THEN start playing around with system permissions.

[arnor]

I have a subscription.

eclipse is installed in /usr/lib/eclipse with root permission
myEclipse is istalled in: /usr/lib/MyEclipse with root permission, too

When I launch Eclipse my workbench is /home/myuser/worspace with user permission.
All eclipse plug-in work fine.

Any idea why MyEclipse it don’t work?

Checking…

Lorenzo, can you try and do something with MyEclipse that “breaks” and then grab a snapshot of your log file and paste it here to see what MyEclipse is complaining it can’t do? (wokrspace dir)\.metadata\.log

[arnor]

my log when I try to open with [myuser] the myeclipse perspective:

I have searched the package”com.genuitec.myeclipse.actions.strutstools” with locate but nothing. Can you tell me the jar where are?

Lorenzo a few things:

1) Are you sure you are using the Eclipse SDk install (~85meg) and NOT the JDT or Platform installs?

2) Please try and use the Sun JDK and see if the problems go away after making sure #1 is using the SDK. Eclipse is not tested with Blackdown only IBM’s and Sun’s JDKs.

[arnor]

1)
I use gentoo portage:
http://gentoo-portage.com/dev-util/eclipse-sdk it use eclipse 3 SDK (3.0.1-r1)

2)
I use sun-jdk-1.4.2.06

my quest is Why root user work perfect and my user not? 🙂
I think is’not a problem about jvm.

Regards Lorenzo

[Riyad Kalla]

In regards to #2, you might want to run java-config as Eclipse seems to be picking up and using Blackdown’s port:

java.version=1.4.2
java.vendor=Blackdown Java-Linux Team

my quest is Why root user work perfect and my user not? 🙂
I think is’not a problem about jvm.

Not sure… I’m going to ask our Linux guy (Gentoo user as well) to see if he can replicate this behavior.

[arnor]

more test:

After the change of the jvm with sun-jdk I can get other error in .log but MyEclipse it’dont works.
In Help -> manage-configuration -> MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench -> Show properties -> Status I found this:
No plug-in: “com.genuitec.myeclipse.enterprise” included at runtime.

No plug-in: “com.genuitec.myeclipse.perspective” included at runtime.

I hope this help.

Thanks in advace.

Lorenzo,

I emerged eclipse-sdk-3.0.1-r1 which installs in /usr/lib/eclipse-3. Then I installed MyEclipse into /opt/MyEclipse. After that I ran eclipse-3 as a normal user and my workspace was /home/myuser/workspace. I am using sun-jdk-1.4.2.05 and I was not able to replicate your issues. It appears to be working fine.

I will double check with the developers and see if having read-only access to both eclipse and myeclipse installation directories will cause any problems.

[arnor]

Do you have installed MyEclipse with root user or myUser?
I will try to unistall MyEclipse from /usr/lib and install it in /opt.

Anyway many thanks for all checks.

Regards Lorenzo

[arnor]

it works!
The problem was the instalation directory of MyEclipse.
If I install in /usr/lib/MyEclipse [it doesn’t works]
If I install in /opt/MyEclipse [it works fine]
I think because /usr/lib is a portage reserved directory
many tks to all. Your suppot is great!

[Riyad Kalla]

arnor nice job tracking down that little discrepency and thank you for following up!
