from the myeclipseide.com web page, there’s a quick link for this cool split-screen web designer. This Visual Web Designer looks exactly like what I want.
So I download the trial, and Eclipse, and Java, only to be told, “this does not support external files.” I thought maybe it was because of the trial, so I went and purchased.
still the same error message.
I realize MyEclipse is a very powerful and inclusive program. But from the Workbench, there is nothing even remotely similar sounding to “Visual Web Designer”. Where is this tool? How do I start it? How do I edit an HTML file?
I’m not an idiot, and myself and my co-worker spent almost an hour trying to figure out to just simply edit an HTML file as wonderfully as the web site claims is possible.One last note, after installing on Windows XP, it did not alter the Edit action for HTML or HTM pages, so I can’t get into it that way.
Please give a newbie some much-needed assistance?–Jeremiah
Jeremiah,
We are sorry for the confusion. I believe the feature you are referring to is the HTML “SNAP”. You can only get these when you download our developmental 5.5 Milestone 2 build and install it using the all-in-one installer. Once you do that, in your start menu you will get the MyEclipse shortcut, as well as 4 or 5 other shortcuts to the standalone applications, one of which is the visual HTML designer.NOTE: These features are all available inside the IDE as well, but they are meant to be used on an existing project. That is why the SNAPs are handy, they are standalone and can be used on any file.
I hope that helps.
that helps a little bit.
now, if you could just tell me where to download that.
I only see a link for 5.5 Milestone 1.–J
Jeremiah,
My appologies, I have Milestone 2 on the brain because that is what we are getting ready right now. Milestone 1 includes the SNAPs, you can download and install that.it would seem I can download the Snaps as a Zip file.
the Snap page says to click on the All-in-One link to install everything.
There is no such link.
I imagine you’re working on that as well? 🙂–J
I believe you are referring to the SNAP Anywhere Connectors, that is different. Please see the screenshots on how to download the installer to install the SNAPs.

I could be wrong, but my impression from this post is that one of the problems you’re having is how to edit HTML files. This is possible without the SNAP feature (unless you’re also specifically after that, of course) with the Visual Web Designer (available in the current release) if you simply create a web project first. It sounds to me like you were trying to open an external file with MyEclipse, or associate certain file extensions (*.html etc.) with MyEclipse, which is not the way it works. You need to create a new project first (e.g. via File > New > Project…), then you’ll be able to create/edit files within your project. (If you have problems, try one of the tutorials from the welcome screen.)
Hope that helps,
Amos
The all-in-one full stack did include the Visual Web Designer, which we’ve been happy with.
of course, it is all that we’ve needed, so there’s a lot that got installed that we will never use. the Visual Web Designer stands on its own.–J
J,
Glad you got it working.As far as “it is all we needed”, you’d be surprised how many subscriptions we have from folks that just want a single SNAP like the DB Explorer or HTML Designer. We are just glad that now with the SNAPs our software can appeal to a broader group of folks and help them out at a price point that is hopefully equivalent to “almost free”.
