[Armen Yampolsky]

Hello,

I am writing about a bug I believe to have been introduced in the 4.1.0 GA release of MyEclipse. A similar (but not identical) bug was discussed in an older thread. Just like before, double clicking on a jsp page from the SVN Repository view opens two files. The first has the error message

Unable to create this part due to an internal error. Reason for the failure: Platform issue: this file cannot be opened in its current context. The text editor will be used instead.

But the second file shows the jsp contents properly. This happens to html files as well, but unlike before, xml files also seem to open normally this time.

For the SVN Repository view I am using Subclipse plugin v. 0.9.105.
Thanks in advance,
-Armen

Armen,
Viewing files using the new editors from a repository hasn’t been fixed, it’s a very low priority item at this point for us (we have some really awesome stuff in the works behind the scenes here and when you try and convince management that we need to sideline that because of a problem 1 or 2 people, out of 200k+, have reported, it’s a hard sell).

I’ll ping the devs again and see if anyone has any extra time they can work on this in.

Sorry to hear that. I demo your product, and this behavior creates a certain embarassment in the room. It’s something that developers notice. Your assumption that only one or two people are bothered by it just because that many reported it to you is surely ill-conceived. Whatever happened to the attitude, particularly popular after the early 3.8.x releases, that hardening existing functionality should trump new features?

Armen,

We continue to harden the base features with every new release and think that is evident in the feature set. In fact, we’re currently working on development of the 4.1.1 release which is really nothing but fixes and small usability additions. So, it’s definately, exclusively, a hardening release.

I know this “open a file from a repository” issue has been reported by you in the past and continues to irk you. The reason this issue was occuring was related to a platform bug (#68721) that is referenced on the first editor page that is opened. That bug has now been fixed so I’ve opened a new PR, targeted to 4.1.1, so that we can now smoothly open the repository files as we had always intended.

I can only second that. Although it’s certainly not a show stopper for me, I have been ‘bothered’ by this too. Just because I didn’t report it does not mean it does not trouble us. Although I must agree the priority in getting this fixed is not that high.

I’m all with that too. I’ve been spamming the MyEclipse team for about two years to get the JSP editor fixed. We stayed all the time with ME because we kept thinking it would be fixed soon. But the JSP editor has been broken all time long. The word is that the JSP editor will be finally fixed in 5.0, but in some other threads it was mentioned that there would perhaps be a 4.2 release. Since a M build for 5.0 was originally planned for March, this would probably mean a delay of yet again a few months (?)

Hello,
I am unable to view any xml pages from the SVN Repository Explorer view. Please advise. My versions are:

Thanks!

ayampols,
What is the error or exception that occurs? Can you post the information from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Detalis here for me?
