We’ve not used the struts portion of eclipse until now. It seems easy enough to add items using the outline view and everything seems to be created correctly. Unfortunately after creating them this way they do not show up in the design tab (even after saving struts-config.xml).

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there some patch we are missing? We have 3.8.2 right now.

Thanks in advance!

[Thomas Trostel]

It also won’t let me edit a previously defined action mapping saying there is an XML validation error. There are no visible validation errors.

ttrostel,
Can you post your struts-config.xml file here for us to load up locally and test it?

[Thomas Trostel]

Sure thing … its really simple right now.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd">
<struts-config>
   <data-sources />
   <form-beans >
      <form-bean name="loginForm" type="something.struts.form.LoginForm" />
   </form-beans>

   <global-exceptions />
   <global-forwards />
   <action-mappings >
      <action
         attribute="loginForm"
         input="/form/login.jsp"
         name="loginForm"
         path="/login"
         scope="request"
         type="something.struts.action.LoginAction" >
         <forward name="success" path="/form/success.jsp" />
         <forward name="failure" path="/form/login.jsp" />
      </action>
   </action-mappings>

   <controller bufferSize="4096" debug="0" />
   <message-resources parameter="something.struts.ApplicationResources" />
</struts-config>

It worked fine here:

[Thomas Trostel]

It doesn’t work here 🙂 … Anything I should check in particular? I get a completely blank pane.

What version of Eclipse are you using? Eclipse 3.1 is not supported.

Did you upgrade the GEF plugin at all yourself? (Maybe for VE?)

What does your log file have in it that is interesting? (workspace dir\.medata\.log)

[Thomas Trostel]

We are using Eclipse 3.0.1. GEF seems to be 3.0.0 and there doesn’t seem to be anything interesting in the .log file.

Which version of GEF are you using?

[Thomas Trostel]

We seem to be getting this in the log file now:

I am just using the gef version that came with MyEclipse 3.8.2:
org.eclipse.gef_3.0.0

Do you have a conflicting version installed under <Eclipse dir>\plugins? Keep in mind that a lot of the 3.0 dev versions of GEF were all called “3.0”.

[Riyad Kalla]

What is your MyEclipse Build ID? (Window > Prefs > MyEclipse)

[Thomas Trostel]

I’m going to try re-installing both eclipse and MyEclipse. It was the latest version available from the website. I’ll let you know the results in a couple of minutes.

[Thomas Trostel]

Nope … still no joy in mudsville ….

Eclipse Platform
Version: 3.0.1
Build id: 200409161125

MyEclipse
Version: 3.8.2
Build id: 200409171200-3.8.2

All re-installed from scratch

[Riyad Kalla]

First try and reastart Eclipse with the -clean command line argument, did that work?

If not, try and create a new workspace and see if it works there.

[Thomas Trostel]

Both -clean and a new workspace have no effect … any other ideas?
