I am trying to use the spring IDE with myEclipse. It doesn’t seem to be available. Specifically, I am trying to use the spring beans view and the graph view.

Do I need to do something different with the config? or is the spring IDE just not completely available in myEclipse?

[Scott Anderson]

Can you please post all the information we request in the [URL=http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-393.html]Posting Guidelines[/URL] thread at the top of this forum? That will give us some context so that we can determine if this is an installation issue, a configuration problem, or a bug. Thanks.

I am wondering if it is an ordering issue. I am uninstalling everything and installing in order of 1. eclipse, 2. myeclipse, 3. spring ide.

I will report my findings.

[Shawn McDermott]

ok, here is what I did.

1. installed fresh eclipse 3.1
2. installed fresh enterprise workbench 4.0
3. installed GEF
4. installed spring IDE

Same behavior. the spring ide options just don’t exist. I can see some of the spring ide options under myeclipse-spring (where I assigned an xml file to be spring type), but the bean view and bean graph aren’t available via right click context menu in that spring xml file.

Doesn’t 4.0 already include a spring module based on the springide? In 3.8.4 I manually added the Spring IDE similar to what you show, but in 4.0 it already exists.

You’ll need to add Spring Capabilities to you project and then add your config files and create a set inside the Spring Bean View.

[Shawn McDermott]

I did that…I think. what I did was create my config files go into the project properties, myeclipse-spring, added my xml files to a set.

my assumption is at that point I can open a bean config xml and see the bean view/bean graph. however, I cannot.

In 4.0 we now ship SpringIDE as part of MyEclipse, so by you installing it separately might be causing conflits for the plugins so they could be failing to load or at the least failing to work correctly. I would encourage you to use a clean install of Eclipse and MyEclipse and as thurin suggested, add Spring Capabilities to your project and see if everything is bheaving as it should.

[Shawn McDermott]

I scrubbed eclipse and myeclipse. reinstalled eclipse 3.1, reinstalled myeclipse 4.0. Upon opening my project, I still cannot right click in a spring xml and see bean view, or bean graph.

[Riyad Kalla]

You will need to first add Spring Capabilities to your proejct, is this already added?

[Shawn McDermott]

yes. I even tried a totally new project. right clicked the project, added spring capabilities, created a new spring applicationContext.xml, added a few beans(saved the file), and still no spring view/bean graph.

I have to be missing something totally obvious. 🙁

[Shawn McDermott]

Maybe this is related and relevant….

Once I have added spring capabilities to my project, I don’t see the ‘remove spring capabilities’ in the menu as the docs describe.

[Riyad Kalla]

I am seeing this as well, let me look into it. The integration just might not be done yet.

[thurin]

Maybe mine’s working as my project already had Spring Capabilities added to it via the Spring IDE? I’m enjoying all the benefits of the Spring IDE from the built in support in 4.0M2

[Shawn McDermott]

I am glad to know it is not just me. I look forward to hearing what you find.
