I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) and MyEclipse to 7.1 while I was at it, only to discover, a bit late, that Ubuntu 8.1+ is not supported.
Since I am mostly developping EE5/Facelets (xhtml) apps, my ide is now essentially useless. I have been using myeclipse since version 2.x and could live with lack of Seam support, iffy maven support and standard wtp project structure incompatibility, but this comes as a shock.
Next big job is a series of projects ports to JSR 299 (EE6 web beans AKA JCDI / Seam 3), and I will not be able to use myeclipse for this if the situation is not corrected.
– Is the next 7.5 version going to support Linux (Ubuntu) ?
– What about JSR 299 / Seam ?regards,

While MyEclipse is not completely supported on Ubuntu 8.10 and later it *does work* for a lot of folks.
We did a full XUL Runner 1.9 update coming in MyEclipse 7.5 which should hopefully correct the Linux compatibility issue for them.
– What about JSR 299 / Seam ?
I’m afraid we still don’t have a committed date for SEAM support.
Thank you Nipun for your prompt answer,
but… no: almost nothing works. I am not even able to create a web project. Tried with pulse, then tried again a complete reinstall with archived update site and brand new workspace, then tried again with manual install. I also tried fixing some libs (older versions) no way.
Note: a Ganymede JEE + m2eclipse + JBoss Tools 3.0 combo, on the other hand, is working perfectly.rmcway: You are right of course. This is just a dev machine, used mostly for experimental stuff.
Nipun: I am more interested in JCDI and your plans for EE6 than Seam per se.Regards,
J-M.
I installed the new 7.5M1 (new Eclipse classic + archived update site, new workspace) under a clean Ubuntu jaunty: same problems (multiple errors when creating views).
Will this get fixed for 7.5 ?

J-M,
I will get a MyEclipse tech on ubuntu to help you with this issue. Sorry for the inconvinience.
I have been using MyEclipse for years too and just recently upgraded to Ubuntu 9.0.4 and MyEclipse is mostly working. My only problem currently is the internal browser does not work. I seem to recall I was able to hack it together in Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS by doing some funky stuff with xulrunner but that caused Firefox to behave strangely so I didn’t like it. I would be interested in hearing from a MyEclipse Ubuntu tech on what they think will happen with this in the 7.5 upgrade with the xulrunner updates. I don’t even know what xulrunner is. It seems like the dependencies on the OS should be minimized as much as possible since it is, after all, a “Java” based IDE.
BTW, it looks like 9.0.4 comes with xulrunner 1.9.0.10 but 1.9.1 is available in Synaptic Package Manager.
I’ ve seen the note for MyEclipse 7.5 M1 .but there’s even the issue on limited support for the ubuntu 8.10 and later.
In this forum i can see this assertion from ME Staff “We did a full XUL Runner 1.9 update coming in MyEclipse 7.5 which should hopefully correct the Linux compatibility issue for them.”
Why this issue happen even more also in MyEclipse 7.5 M1 ?Latest update:
I finally got somewhere after a complete reinstall (Linux all in one this time).
The culprit seems indeed to be the internal web browser: as soon as I open it, I get errors all over the place (cannot create view, NPE etc…)
The steps that worked for me:
1) start myeclipse
2) close the internal browser view
3) exit and start again (no browser view).
Thank you mbuckman for the pointer, and you guys at support for your patience.J-M
