I have Eclipse Version: 3.1.0 Build id: 200411050810 and I installed MyEclipse 3.8.4+QF2-BetaFor3.1. I am running on XP. I installed MyEclipse and then tried to follow the instructions after the install was complete: Start MyEclipse, Accept changes, Start Eclipse…
I finished the installation, started MyEclipse, set a few preferences but I didn’t see anywhere to “Accept”, close MyEclipse, started Eclipse, and there is not sign of the install. I noticed that even while in MyEclipse, it didn’t recognize the JSPs. I did set ‘jsp’ as an extension.
What am I missing?
Thank you,
Andy.Andy,
If you check the Window > Preferences panel, do you see the MyEclipse preference node? Can you expand it?If you visit the Help > About page, do you see the MyEclipse button?
If you do File > New > Project, do you see all sorts of new J2EE Project types?
If not, try and shut down Eclipse, add -clean to your command line that you use to start it, and restart it (you can remove -clean after this). Allow Eclipse to rebuild it’s plugin cache. If THAT doesn’t work, then make extra sure that you grabbed the 3.8.4 Beta for 3.1 and not the 3.8.4 release for 3.0.1 on accident.
I checked and I did get the right versions…
In Eclipse, not MyEclipse, none of these show. If I go into MyElipse these do show… However, it does not seem to me detecing JSPs as JSPs. The reason I say that is my background default is set to black and the default for JSPs under MyEclipse is white… those defaults are not showing.
In the instructions, it said to go into MyEclipse and ‘accept’ the config, but I didn’t see any where to do that? Is that maybe what I am missing? To make sure, I do using my original Eclipse shortcut after I configure the setting and ‘accept’ in MyEclipse, right?

The MyEclipse editors have separate settings, please see Window > Prefs > MyEclipse > Editors > (etc.)

Depending on the state of your workbench, Eclipse sometimes doesn’t ask, it will just install MyEclipse without a problem. Othertimes it needs a restart.

This is confusing to most people, when you install MyEclipse, what it does is hook itself into your Eclipse environment, so if you fire up Eclipse again, it likely won’t look any different. You will just notice more project wizards, a whole slew of new editors, a new perspective (Try opening the MyEclipse perspective to see if that is working), and MyEclipse-specific tools.
If I open MyEclipse, the options are there… I was under the MyEclipse editor defaults for the JSPs, but it doesn’t seem to recognize the JSP. When I say recognize, it doesn’t use the setting that are set under the MyEclipes’s JSP settings.

Try closing your file, then right clicking on the JSP file > Open With > MyEclipse JSP Editor.
I wonder if the “Text Editor” got set as the default editor or something.
Yes, that worked… I then when to the IDE preferences and set JSPs to use MyEclipse by default. Now it works. I appreciate you help very much.
