I am following the EJB Development tutorial in the Documentation section and one of the first steps is: go to Project / Properties, select MyEclipse-XDoclet and then right click in the upper right pane to select “Add Standard”.

When I do so I am presented with a tiny little dialog window that has a title bar, a dark horizontal line under it ( this is the list of choices, compressed into like 3 pixels tall area ) and then a normal sized OK and CANCEL buttons. Seeing no ‘Standard AOP / Standard EJB / etc” choices, I hit CANCEL and tried again. Each time I get the same UI. The Resize window function is greyed out and I can’t resize the dialog to present the choices. However, the choices are present, as I hacked around by using the TAB key on my keyboard and the up/down arrow keys and after a bit of noodling I figured out how to get the Standard EJB choice selected.

The same UI problem occurs once I’ve added and edited the Standard EJB functions, and then I right click on “ejbdoclet” on the lower left tree in the same MyEclipse-XDoclet config – when I right click and choose “Add” to pick my JBoss server as the tutorial suggests, the server choices list box is completely compressed down into a tiny, tiny 3 pixel high area. I refused to hit TAB and up/down/remove enough times to find the JBoss server this way ! 🙂

Has anyone experienced this before ? Is there a fix? 🙁

I am using MyEclipse on Fedora Core 3 Linux using the standard GNome desktop.

This is because of some wierd SWT/GTK problem and its hard to tell what exactly is causing it. We aren’t seeing this on our linux test machines but we don’t have a FC3 setup either. Regardless, in 3.8.3 (coming soon), all data-selection dialogs that are used in the XDoclet configuration are resizable. So you can simply resize the problematic dialogs to see the entries.

Scott,
I would also like to add that people with GTK/SWT issues on Linux seem to solve them by downgrading to GTK 2.4.9, something with the 2.4.11 builds is goofy with SWT.

Thanks for the info. I will wait for 3.8.3 instead of going back on the gtk version – I’ve seen that step cause other system problems in the past.

Let 3.8.3 rip! – you’re gtk linux users eagerly await the fix 🙂

Thanks, Scott
