Double clicking on *.js files in package explorer displays the error dialog, “Unable to create part”. Error log contains the following exception:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

If you right click > Open With, what is the default editor set to? Can you try and shut down eclipse, then restart it with the -clean command line argument?

[Brandon Rife]

Right-clicking indicates that “MyEclpse Javascript Editor” is the default editor. Running Eclipse with -clean didn’t seem to help. The same error occured when attempting to open a *.js file.

[Riyad Kalla]

Are you using the Eclipse SDK install, or the Platform install? MyEclipse requires the Eclipse 3.0(.1) SDK Install (86 meg or so).

[Brandon Rife]

I’m using the SDK. I’ve traced the problem to a conflict with another plugin: OxygenXML (http://www.oxygenxml.com/). When I remove oxygen, no problems. Sort of scary that one plugin can affect another like that. Any insight as to what could be going on?

[Riyad Kalla]

Hmmm not really, I will check with the devs though, that is odd.

[Brandon Rife]

BTW, I use the same combination of plugins in Linux (Mandrake) and the same thing happens.

[Scott Anderson]

We’re not familiar with the plugins used in Oxygen. It’s likely that we use incompatible versions of some common plugin. Do you see any that bear the same name as those used in MyEclipse?

[Scott Anderson]

Upon further review, we determined what causes the incompatibility between the two plugins. Oxygen changes some of the common text editor preferences in such a way that it aggravates an existing bug in the Javascript editor. We’ve added a fix that will be available for 3.8.3.

[Brandon Rife]

Thanks – you guys are tops!

[Andreas Brenk]

When will 3.8.3 (or at least a hint how to fix this manually) be available?

[Riyad Kalla]

We are shooting for 3.8.3 to come out at the end of next week or early the following week. So far QA has been really productive/clean.
