Hi,

I have a working workspace which I am working with ME4.1.
I have already installed the ME5.0. Are there any special steps needed to perform before I open the ME5.0 on my existing workspace?

Thanks,
Erez

Erez,

No, no special steps are needed. You just need to open your 4.1 workspace with MyEclipse 5.0.

for some reason all the XML files are open with Ant. Files like web.xml, tiles.xml etc. How can I change it? Is it normal behavior?

Thanks,
Erez

Erez,

No, it’s not normal. You can change it by setting our XML editor to be the default for the XML files at Window > Preferences > General > Editors > File Associations > *.xml

I did that and changed it to “XML Editor”. I reopen ME and still the icons next to the XML files are a “blue globe” which is the icon of the MyEclipse Web Browser.

When I double click my XML files the file opens and the tab icon is ok (‘the x icon’).

1. Why are my icons are wrong at the project package explorer?
2. Should I select MyEclipse XML Editor instead?

When I select the ‘MyEclipse XML Editor’ as default and click OK, then next time I open the preferences I see ‘XML Editor’ twice at the top of the list. I continue to do that I end up with lots of them (XML Editor) at the top of the list. Still the icon next to the XML files is left ‘blue earth’.

1. Why are my icons are wrong at the project package explorer?

Eclipse won’t update the icons until the file is used in some way. This was a change by the platform team because the icon decorator was eating up too many CPU cycles checking for changes when they don’t occur very often.

2. Should I select MyEclipse XML Editor instead?

Just right-click on your XML file and Open With… > MyEclipse XML Editor. Over time and with the next startup of Eclipse the icons should correct themselves over time.
