I’m not sure what I’ve done, but something’s not quite right.
I’m running 3.1 eclipse, 4.0.0 myeclipse. When I try to update via the update manager, it says there are no updates available for anything. When I go to the “manage configurations” pane, it does show myeclipse 4.0.0, and from *THERE* it says there are no updates available for the workbench.
I don’t mind uninstalling and reinstalling, but I don’t want to lose any settings.
Advice welcome for best course of action w/o settings loss.
Thanks
I have exactly the same problem. Hope someone from the MyEclipse team can address it. Also the instructions on FAQ for upgrading are not correct anymore as there is no install/update perspective but rather a help->software update menu item.
What operating system and version are you running?
Win XP Pro
What Eclipse version and build id are you using? (Help > About Eclipse Platform)
Version: 3.1.0
Build id: I20050627-1435– Was Eclipse freshly installed for MyEclipse?
Yes.– Are any other external plugins installed?
commonclipse, CodeSugar– How many plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory are like org.eclipse.pde.*
What MyEclipse version are you using? (Help > About Eclipse Platform > Features)20050829, 4.0.0GA
What JDK version are you using to run Eclipse? (java -version)
1.4.2_04During the 4.0 milestoning process we changed the update site for the final MyEclipse 4.0 version to:
http://downloads.myeclipseide.com/downloads/products/eworkbench/updates-4.0/However, you’re showing that you have the latest 4.0 download installed so it should be correct. One thing that has confused some users is that when they ask Eclipse to Help > Software Updates > Find and install… > “Find updates for currently installed features…” that they are only prompted for an Eclipse mirror. However once you choose the “Eclipse.org update site” the next screen should list the new MyEclipse builds. Are you running all the way through this process?
If you are, then try entering the URL above into Help > Software Updates > Find and install… > Search for new updates to Install. Then select ‘New Remote Site’ and enter the URL above into the new entry. With that, the updates should certainly be found. Once they are, just ensure that the install location is set to your MyEclipse install location and not the base Eclipse install location.
Another variation on the “New Remote Site” would be a “New Local Site” which you could provide if you previously downloaded our archived update site from the Downloads section of the website. Using that would be just as effective.
Closer, but now I’m getting an error when I try to update
Requested operation cannot be performed because it would invalidate the current configuration. See details for more information.

Is there a way to just export my settings so I can start from scratch?
Your settings are part of your workspace, not your MyEclipse installation. You can always install a fresh Eclipse 3.1.1/MyEclipse 4.0.3 install in a new location then open your existing workspace to begin working again. Rather than a parallel install, you might try downloading and using the local update site option I mentioned in the last post first.
By the way, I checked the update site and and the feature layouts are correct so I don’t know why that jar file is being requested since it’s the 4.0.3 jar that is currently configured. It’s very peculiar as we’ve had several thousand updates from the server without error.
OK I followed the instructions for setting URL to new remote update site and this worked for me but I got a scary message that said “Duplicate Conflicts” proceed and some features may not work. I went ahead and proceeded to install the updates and the basics seem to still work. Hopefully nothing is screwed up.
