Hey there. Just a quickie. I’m trying to get the MyEclipseIDE demo installed on 10.3 Panther and I’m having no luck.

When I unzip the package I download and double-click the installer, it appears for a fleeting moment in the dock, then disappears. I’ve check the file permissions, and I am able to read and write the file and to the folder.

I think this has something to do with InstallAnywhere and Panther – maybe you guys need to rebuild the demo package with an updated InstallAnywhere?

Cheers all

Craig,

I do know that since Panther is so new that we haven’t tested on it, since we don’t currently have a copy of it. We’re using the latest released version of InstallAnywhere Enterprise to build the installers so I’ll check if there are any known problems at ZeroG.

Does Eclipse itself run properly on Panther? Does the installer generate a log file? Debugging for the installer can be turned on by setting the environment variable LAX_DEBUG=1, if you’re willing to give it another go.

Yes, Eclipse itself runs without issue on Panther. The installer did generate something at the console:

2003-11-05 15:29:22.701 Finder[1831] CFLog (0): CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): Old-style plist parser: missing semicolon in dictionary.
2003-11-05 15:29:22.702 Finder[1831] CFLog (0): CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): The file name for this data might be (or it might not): /Users/craigp/Desktop/Enterprise Workbench Installer.app/Contents/Resources/InfoPlist.strings

I do also set the environment variable you mention, but I don’t think the installer gets far enough to actually throw anything to the console.

I’m not sure what ‘missing semicolon in dictionary’ means, but I’ll have a look for other InfoPList.strings files to see if I can find how others do it.

Worked on my Panther (for what it’s worth :)).

Ohh, and this was 3.6.4 and Eclipse Build id: 200311050952 (integration build).

Johan,

Worked on my Panther (for what it’s worth :)).

It’s worth a lot! Thanks for letting us know since we don’t have a system running Panther to test on. It’s good to hear that at least some (most?) configurations seem to work fine.

I too cannot see any MyEclipse perspectives and I saw the following in the Eclipse Configuration details : Help -> About Eclipse Platform.Configuration Details

Double check that you have the entire Eclipse SDK installed (not just the JDT). Also, if you have upgraded your JDK through mac update, people have had problems running Eclipse after that. You can try and erase the <eclipse install>\.metadata\.config folder to get the settings to reset themselves to defaults OR try using the -vm /path/to/vm/executable command line arg to the eclipse executable.
