What operating system and version are you running?

Linux linux 2.6.11.4-20a-default #1 Wed Mar 23 21:52:37 UTC 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

What Eclipse version and build id are you using? (Help > About Eclipse Platform)

Version: 3.1.0
Build id: I20050627-1435

Was Eclipse freshly installed for MyEclipse?

Yes

Are any other external plugins installed?

Besides Spring IDE 1.2.2 there are none.

How many plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory are like org.eclipse.pde.*

8

What MyEclipse version are you using? (Help > About Eclipse Platform > Features)

3.9.211 for the workbench

What JDK version are you using to run Eclipse? (java -version)

java version “1.5.0_04”
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_04-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_04-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

What JDK version are you using to launch your application server?

Same as above

What steps did you take that resulted in the issue?

Install Eclipse 3.1. Install the Spring IDE 1.2.2 using the online update facility in Eclipse (http://springide.org/updatesite/).

Create a java project. Right-click on the project name in the Navigator or the Package Explorer. The “Add Spring Project Nature” menu item is available, can be selected and when selected the project does become Spring IDE aware. Remove the Spring project nature using the same context menu and then Close Ecliplse.

Now install MyEclipse 4.0M2 and restart Eclipse. Attempt to add a Spring project nature as described above. The context menu item is no longer available.

Now go to Help/Software Updates/Manage Configuration, disable MyEclipse and restart the workbench. It is now possible to add a project nature again.

What application server are you using?

Tomcat 5.5.9

Are there any exceptions in the Eclipse log file? (<workspace>/.metadata/.log)

No

Unless I have made an error in configuration somewhere, this seems to be a problem. Any ideas?

Hi gsp1,

unfortunalty you will not be able to use Spring IDE 1.2.1 or any greater version of Spring IDE until the MyEclipse team delivers the version with MyEclipse Ide.

That behaviour is basically caused by the version numbering MyEclipse is using. In MyEclipse 4 M2 the Spring IDE plugins use their original plugin id’s but with version number 3.9.210 or 3.9.211. If you install the version 1.2.1 form the Spring IDE’s updatesite your eclipse installation will always consider the plugins with 3.9.x to be newer than 1.2.x and will not activate the ‘new’ plugins.

If your really want to use Spring IDE 1.2.x with MyEclipse 4 you have to manually delete MyEclipse Spring IDE plugins and reinstall using Spring IDE’s updatesite, but I cannot guarantee that MyEclipse Ide and Spring IDE will work properly.

Greetings

Christian

Christian,

How do you manually delete the MyEclipse Spring IDE plugin? You other features work great, but I really need the newer spring functionality.

Thanks in advance

Hi

I have just upgraded to MyEclipse 5.1. My main concern is surrounding the SpringIDE plugin that comes with MyEclipse. This article http://www.myeclipseide.com/ContentExpress-display-ceid-62.html outlines some of the features but it doesnt seem to support referencing beans in other projects.

SpringIDE enables one to add a reference to another Spring Project as described in this link http://springide.org/project/wiki/SpringideGuide#AddSpringBeansConfigFiles.

Is there any way MyEclipse can do this?

Thanks

Ross

I can create a config set with all the config files I need if I add my referenced project to my projects Java Build Path (“Required Projects on the build path”)
