MyEclipse: Web 2.0 Browser won't launch

Post subject: Web 2.0 Browser won't launch
I'm running MyEclipse 6.0 on a Mac. AJAX is new on a Mac with this release, but JavaScript is still experimental. I added -Dmac.experimental=true to my eclipse.ini file (at the end of the file, but I have tried several different places), but my results are always the same when I click on the Web 2.0 (AJAX) browser. I get a message pop-up that says I need to use -Dmac.experimental=true on the command-line. (The README notes however, say that for a Mac, command-line args go into the eclipse.ini file instead.) I must be doing something improperly since MyEclipse still doesn't recognize that mac.experimental is set to true.

I'm hoping someone can chime in with suggestions as to how to properly set mac.experimental=true on a Mac.

Can you add -Dmac.experimental=true in the beginning and try again. Maybe you have extra blank spaces in your eclipse.ini file.

Can you try launching from console using -Dmac.experimental=true just to make sure it works for you.

I tried both of these suggestions. Well... I launched from a terminal window's command-line prompt, but not from a "Console" window, if there is a difference. If there is a difference, how do I bring up a Console? If there is no difference in what you mean by console window and terminal window, then what's next? I've completely exhausted my list of ideas.

Mark,
I'm sorry for the delay, I sent this off to our Mac dev to make sure you were doing it correctly and as it turns out his Mac was sent back to Apple for a screen repair, so we don't have a Mac on hand to test at the moment.

The Dmac.experimental=true is correct, but could you paste your entire eclipse.ini file for us to look at? Maybe the problem is with the format. I'm not sure.

Similar problem: can't get Ajax working on Leopard.
I've added the above command, and also tried from the command line, I don't get the Ajax Command Icon.

dmoshal,
What do you mean specifically? Which Ajax Command Icon?

I know this thread looks almost dead, but, I'm also having this issue on Leopard. I have -Dmac.experimental=true in eclipse.ini and no AJAX Perspective is available. Here is my eclipse.ini:
Code:

-vm
/usr/bin/java
-vmargs
-Dmac.experimental=true
-Dosgi.splashLocation=/Applications/MyEclipse 6.0/eclipse/MyEclipseSplash.bmp
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
-Xdock:name=MyEclipse
-Xdock:icon=../Resources/Eclipse.icns
-XstartOnFirstThread
-Xms128m
-Xmx512m
-XX:PermSize=64m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256M
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts


My signature is out of date, I'm on the latest ME 6.x and OS is 10.5.2.

Randy,
It's actually an entire new workbench window. If you open the MyEclipse browser and go to a site and hit the little debug icon in the browser toolbar, it should open up the Ajax Workbench window and start the debugger on that site for you.

Unfortunately there is still no debug icon in the toolbar. AAMOF I can't even go to a different site (other than the default MyEclipse site) from the address box. Clicking the arrow icon or hitting enter with focus on the input control makes no difference.

Randy,
Sorry I didn't clarify earlier, I'm posting screenshots of how exactly to open the MyEclipse Web Browser (the normal Web Browser View won't have the debug button on it)

Let me know if you see the following from your workbench (Make sure you are in the MyEclipse Perspective please):

Thanks!! That got it open. I did find a bug to report. My home page in FF or Safari is about:blank and the ME Browser seemed to pick up this setting. Until I went in and changed the favorites to something different I couldn't enter URL's into the address area. Thanks again.

Randy
