Hi, I’m running MyEclipse 9.1 on a Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

When I go through the JSF tutuorials and try to open a page in the editor with the Visual JSF Designer or the Visual JSP Designer, I do not see a Design tab. Only a Source tab appears.

What’s interesting is that if I attempt to open a Facelets page with the Visual JSP Designer, I receive a pop up box with the question “The MyEclipse Visual JSF Designer provides an improved editing experience for JSF files in JSF project, switch editors?”

When I click “yes,” I still only see the Source tab.

Is this a configuration isssue or is there likely another problem? Thank you.

rbeachy ,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue with MyEclipse. I could not replicate the issue at my end on MyEclipse 9.1.

Can you answer some more questions for me to understand the issue better?

1) How did you install MyEclipse ? Is it using Pulse/ All-In-One installer/ Archived Update site?

2) Switch to a clean workspace.Go to MyEclipse > Examples On-Demand. This will open Examples On-Demand browser where you can see a list of example projects. Install project ‘SimpleFaceletsExample’ to your workspace by clicking on ‘Install Project’. Now try to open the ‘greeting.xhtml’ in the ‘MyEclipse Visual JSF Designer’ editor. Check if the issue persists.

3) If yes then check the .log file which is located at <workspace dir>/.metadata/.log for any errors of interest. Paste them here.

Let me know how this works for you.

Hi Swapna,

Thanks for replying. I’d love to get this working to use the visual design features.

I’m having the same issue on two separate systems. In both cases I went to the Try/Download section of the MyElipse site. On one computer, I downloaded, then installed. On the other, I used the custom installer.

I tried the SimpleFacelets Example only to have the same results. I’m still not seeing the Design tab.

Below is the information from the log file…

rbeachy ,

Thank you for the details.

The Visual JSF Designer – Design tab is not available for 64 bit windows systems. It is mentioned at the time of installing MyEclipse in your system.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

[rbeachy]

Thank you. Do you know if I can install a 32-bit version on a 64-bit system?

[support-swapna]

rbeachy ,

Yes, you can install 32 bit MyEclipse on a 64 bit system.

Do let us know if you have any other issues.

[rbeachy]

Thanks!

[A. Federico Pérez L.]

Hello.

Until a few days ago The Visual JSF Designer worked well, but suddenly disappeared the Design Tab of the Visual JSF Designer. Don’t give me some error, only disappeared.

I don’t know if I did some thing accidentally or because another day there was a blackout.

I tried fix the problem using de fix option from the online installer but the problem persist.

I need uninstall and reinstall the MyEclipse or I need only tuning some configuration parameters?

I am using MyEclipse 9.1 on Fedora 14.

Thanks in advance.

afplmex ,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue with MyEclipse.

Can you answer some more questions for me to understand the issue better?

1) Is your OS 32 bit or 64 bit ?

2) Did you install any third party plugin which might have caused this issue ?

3) Do you see any specific errors of interest logged in the .log file which is located at <workspace dir>/.metadata/.log file when opening up the Visual JSF Designer ?

4) I would recommend you a quick fix using pulse. Please do the following –
1. Open Pulse (Start > Programs > Pulse > Pulse Explorer or try – C:\Program Files\Genuitec\Pulse Explorer\pulse-explorer.exe)
2. Login to pulse
3. Select “Eclipse – Helios” realm from top left hand corner dropdown
4. Select “MyEclipse 9 (version 9.1)” from “My Profiles”, right click on the same and click on [re-install and run]
5. This will open a wizard which will guide you through the rest of the steps

Let me know how this works for you.

[A. Federico Pérez L.]

Hello again.

Thanks for your quick response.

The answers for your questions are:
1) My OS is 32 bit.
2) I don’t have installed any third party plugin.
3) Here is the .log’s content when I start the MyEclipse and open a .xhtml file using the
Visual JSF Designer:

4) I don’t install MyEclipse using Pulse. I need do it in that way?

Thanks for your help.

[support-tony]

afplmex,

The visual designers are not available on Linux, by default. I’m interested to know how you got the Visual JSF Designer to work before. When first trying to open a visual editor, you would have been shown a pop-up about the visual designers being experimental and having to add “-Dlinux.experimental=true” to the end of your myeclipse.ini file. Even then, you may need to make other changes to your environment, though the visual designers can’t be made to work in all Linux environments. So please let us know how you managed to get the visual designer working in the past.

The messages in the log file are not associated with this problem. If you had it working before, then something must have changed. Did you update MyEclipse? Did you have any crashes?

[A. Federico Pérez L.]

Hi.

I didn’t modify the default parameters, I only downloaded the all in one package and install it, I never used pulse before. From version 8 of MyEclipse I used the upgrade facility within the workbench, for this razon I asked you if I need uninstall / reinstall MyEclipse. I’ll try that way for retrieve the design tab.

I hope to do.

Thanks in advance.

[A. Federico Pérez L.]

Nop, the desinstall / reinstall does not work.

It’s sad not having the Design Tab from Visual JSF Designer in Linux any more, is like walking blind.

I hope that any day we count with it.

Thanks any way.

[A. Federico Pérez L.]

Hi again.

I have aplied the tip about adding “-Dlinux.experimental=true” at the myeclipse.ini file and works fine.

I’m happy viewing some visual components, it helps me to locate the code easily and to have any idea of how the page will look.

Thanks so much for your help.

Greetings.

[support-swapna]

afplmex ,

Glad that it is working.
Do let us know if you have any other issues.
