Hello,

I have been using the latest MyEclipse plugin for quite a while for an Icefaces based application I’m developing. I originally downloaded the plugin install only, then added to Eclipse. I used the Visual JSF Designer as tool to quickly jump to the code for controls and help me keep my brain straight with layout, etc.

I just received a new PC a few days ago, and this time I downloaded the full Eclipse bundled together with the MyEclipse plugin (v 6.5), and now when I open the .jspx files in my project, the components do not show up like they used to before in the visual designer window. They are missing. I tried running the update to see if maybe there were some patch, but this did not resolve the issue.

What is causing this and how do I fix it????

Thanks,
dw

What components are you referring to? I think the UI must have changed in 6.5 which is making you think the components are missing. If you can point out the components, I can help you out.

I wish I could say it was only a few specific components, but the reality is none of them are displaying proper in the layout view: e.g. command buttons, combo boxes, the dotted outlines for each of the panel groups, etc. For example, I opened one of my screens that contains command buttons (<ice:commandButton>) and I see the code is there, but I can’t see a command button on the design view pane directly above my code. When I click on the tag in the code, no button is highlighted above (like it used to), nor is it even showing up on the screen.

I hope I am explaining this ok. My code is there and my app builds ok (thankfully), but the designer is honked and I’m not exactly sure why.

I just tried this at my end but I was unable to reproduce this issue. Does this happen with all projects or one project in particular? Can you create a new project and test this again.

[wilkerd1]

Thanks again for the response nipun. I appreciate it. It does this with all my current projects at the moment. I will try creating a brand new project, see if this still occurs, and post back my results. Could this be a bug that is somehow tied to the particular operating system version and patch level? Everything worked great until I got this new machine….

I haven’t had any other user report such an issue so I doubt its a bug. You can try this with a new workspace let me know what result you get.
