Hi, i have the following problem:

I start eclipse click on run/start servers and get the message
no enabled servers availabel – See MyEclipse preferences.

So i go to Window –> Preferences –> MyEclipse –> Application Servers
and enable JBoss 4.0 with path and so on.
then i can start it.

then i exit Eclipse and start it again.

after restart i get the same error as before:
no enabled servers availabel – See MyEclipse preferences.

how can i safe my settings that i don´t have to go to the preferences every time i restart eclipse?

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.

OS: WinXP Pro
Eclipse:
Version: 3.0.1
Build id: 200409161125
Eclipse is fresh installed for myEclipseIDE

Plugins:
I tried to install the visual editor project, but it dosn´t start.
Perhaps version conflicts.

myEclipse version 3.8.1

java -version = “1.4.2_03”

Please check your log file for any errors/exceptions that will help us track down what is going on when Eclipse starts (workspace dir)\.metadata\.log

[M.Schlierf]

no errors/exceptions in my .log 🙁

[M.Schlierf]

now i resolved the problem with Visual Editor.
So the only problem now ist the server start thing. 🙁

Just for sanity-check-sake, try a brand new workspace and see if the setting sticks… there may be a flaky plugin cache issue that is causing Eclipse to barf on the connector settings when it loads up….

[M.Schlierf]

You are right, using a new workspace is working.
So how can i restore the old workspace?
delete the metadata?

[Riyad Kalla]

You can try first by deeleting the /configuration dir, and restarting Eclispe, you might need to re-add the MyEclipse extension via the Help > Software Updates > Manage Configs > (right click) Add > New Extension mechanism as that info is sometimes stored in the /configuration folder….

[M.Schlierf]

hmm did that, but no changes.
Still the old problem.
didn´t have to readd myeclipse.

[Riyad Kalla]

<slaps forhead>, I misinterpreted your question… I thought you mean “Restore” as in “fix it”, not necessarily “recreate it”… you will need to use File > Import to pull all the old projects from your other workspace into your new workspace.

[M.Schlierf]

I deleted the .metadata and made a new workspace. then i imported all projects, now it´s working again.
So the problem is resolved, but i hat to manually import all projects (i have 43 projects in my workspace).
So it took me 20 minutes.
Why isn´t there a “import all projects in a folder” or “import old workspace folder”

Why isn´t there a “import all projects in a folder” or “import old workspace folder”

I honestly wish I knew… corrupt workspaces is not something that the Eclipse seemed to put much faith in happening, so working around them is a PIA, but unfortunately it does happen and when it does happen there is only one solution: new workspace. Its like having a corrupt Windows directory, you gotta reinstall.
