If I use Visual Editor for Java, the IDE crashes.

To replicate the issue please follow the steps:
1. Install JRE & JDK 1.4.2
1. Install Eclipse 3.2
2. Install plug-ins: VE, GE, EMF from eclipse.org
3. Install MyEclipse 5.0M2
4. Open a new work space, new project and try to create a new Visual Class, the IDE will through error message:

IWAV0138E Remote VM terminated too soon. See .log file for trace of output. For VM “Project (TestProj)-VM for TestProj”.

Installing the plug-ins after Myeclipse installation also does not help. Is there any way MyEclipse can be used to visually develop AWT and Swing screens? I have all the screens developed using Eclipse 3.1 and unable to move to MyEclipse.

Thanks for your support.

I’m confused here if you are reporting a problem against MyEclipse or the VE project. It sounds like VE from the details you provided in your report, in which case I have no idea why the designer isn’t working.

As far as visual Swing/AWT development, MyEclipse offers it’s own product to do this called Matisse4MyEclipse. This product is only available with a Professional subscription, so if you have one you can follow this guide on how to install it:

and get an idea of what it looks like and how it works here:

I’ve had a similar problem with VE with MyEclipse. There appears to be a conflict with the VE installed by callisto and some of the libraries installed by MyEclipse.
The vm for VE fails with the error java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/jem/internal/proxy/common/IVMServer

[aarondh]

To make it work it appears that you must first install elcipse with all the pluggins (including ve) before you install myeclipse. Installing VE after myeclipse is installed gives me the above error.

aarondh,

I have tried the above step with no success. My steps are:
1. Installed Eclipse and all the plug-ins.
2. VERIFIED THAT I AM ABLE TO USE VISUAL EDITOR, WITH NO PROBLEM.
3. Install MyEclipse.
4. Verified that Visual Editor does not work (crashes).

Guys I’m researching this now.

[Riyad Kalla]

Ok I got a similar problem, filing it for investigation now…

[aarondh]

Interestingly I launched MyEclipse with -clean and the VE started failing again. If -clean is NOT in the runtime parameters it appears to work for me.

[Riyad Kalla]

You mean you remove clean and it goes back to working, or after running clean it never worked again?

[aarondh]

After running clean it stops working

[aarondh]

Uninstall MyEplise and it starts working again.

rkalla, any expected time for a fix?

[Riyad Kalla]

Yes the fix will be in the 5.0 release, it turned out the bug wasn’t the version of libraries we were shipping, but *how* we were shipping them. So we just modelled exactly how it’s done with Callisto and that fixed it.

[ragzy@hotmail.com]

You mean if I install Callisto, that will fix it?

[Riyad Kalla]

I don’t think so, there was something specifically related to how our dependencies were deployed that were causing it to barf, but I’m not certain. Either way 5.0 GA should be out on the 6th.
