4. Known Issues

Eclipse 3.2 SDK Integration

     Linked Resources

• Eclipse 3.2 removes long-standing restrictions on the location and use of linked resources.  MyEclipse 5.0.0 M1 does not yet fully support this expanded functionality.  Therefore please maintain the Eclipse 3.1 linked resource usage restrictions until the MyEclipse 5.0.0 M2 release.  Eclipse 3.1 and earlier versions constrained linked-resources to residing only at the root of a project, e.g., myproject/mylinked-resource.

Linux and Mac Support Limitations

• Matisse4MyEclipse is not supported on Linux because of the following Eclipse bug #110163 .
• The following features are not available on Mac to the long standing Eclipse SWT_AWT bug #67384 :
• • Matisse4MyEclipse
  • MyUML
  • MyEclipse Image Editor

Web Tools Platform 1.5 Integration

     Web Tools Platform User Interface Organization

• In order to maintain the MyEclipse product and feature cohesiveness and to provide existing MyEclipse 4.x users a familiar user interface experience, the default WTP user interface is disabled through the use of workbench capabilities.  WTP features may be re-enabled through the workspace capabilities preference dialog. 

     JEE Project Compatibility

• MyEclipse J2EE projects are not compatible with WTP projects.  This level of support will be available in MyEclipse 5.0.0 Milestone-2 release

     Web Editor Preference Compatibility

• MyEclipse 5.0.0 M1 does not recognize the editor preferences of MyEclipse 4.x or 3.x workspaces.
