MyEclipse: [Workaround] XDoclet properties are not visible

Post subject: [Workaround] XDoclet properties are not visible
Installed Version 4 and doing EJB Development from the Getting started in the Application Developer Guide. Followed the steps to create an ejb. In the xdoclet configuration portion, MyEclipse-XDoclet -> add standard -> add standard ejb. Clicking on standard ejb displays ejbdoclet in the lower left pane, but clicking on ejbdoclet or any subtask under it does not display their properties in the right pane. Is this a bug or did I forget to do something?

Running Windows 2000 Professional SP4
What Eclipse version and build id are you using? (Version: 3.1.0 Build id: I20050627-1435)
- Was Eclipse freshly installed for MyEclipse? yes
- If not, was it upgraded to its current version using the update manager?
- Are any other external plugins installed? no
- How many plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory are like org.eclipse.pde.* 4
MyEclipse version (Version 4 Milestone3 Build id 20050808-4.0 Milestone 3)
What JDK version are you using to run Eclipse? (java version "1.5.0_04")

Thanks

We will be releasing Eclipse 4.0GA, early next week. In 4.0GA we have updated our XDoclet support to match XDoclet version 1.2.3 release. This update includes a refresh of the XDoclet configuration UI. So lets wait and see if the problem still persists with the new release. If it does, report back your results and we can go from there.

Post subject:
can you guys try adding -clean to your command line when you start Eclipse and see if that fixes the issue?

Also you can try File > Switch Workspace > C:\tempworkspace and hit OK. Then use File > New > Project > Web Project to create a new sample project, and then try the XDoclet properties, did they work?

Can you post the contents of your ".xdoclet" file that is in the root of your EJB project? You can use the *code* button above the reply area to format the contents of the file nicely.

__SOLUTION__: In the pane where you expect to see the Properties and Values, grab the far left edge of the top header and drag it to the right. This will reveal the "Value" box. Then do this again to reveal the "Property" box.

We very much appreciate you posting the workaround for others.

Out of curiosity are you also using Windows 2K? None of us have been able to reproduce this internally, making it a real bear to fix.

For those of use not downloading GA [yet], can you please describe the benefits of the new xdoclet/properties UI? Thanks.
What I am lookin for is to have a "save as" feature and/or a default setting feature. I do not want to go thru setting all the xdoclet settings for each ejb project.

nat,
The XDoclet functionality has not changed between 3.8.4 and 4.0, we simply updated the XDoclet libraries to fix quite a few bugs in the old versions, add Hibernate 3 support and also support generating code from Java 5 source files (however using generics in your XDoclet properties doesn't currently work with this version of XDoclet).
support-greg - Aug 30, 2005 - 05:28 PM
Post subject:
Also, because we updated the xdoclet libraries, there are new configuration options that should be made available in the XDoclet configuration UI. So we have also updated the XDoclet UI to make all of these new configuration elements available.

Just following up with the original problem reported in this thread. We have recently tested 4.0GA on a window 2000 test machine and we did not see any problem with the properties list in the XDoclet configuration screen.

Are there any details about your environment that hasn't been metioned that might help us determine the issue?

We retested this with a fully up2date win2k pro with the latest JDK from Sun 1.5.0_04. Still, we can't replicate the problem. But does the workaround as posted on the first page of this topic work for you? It seems to for other people that are having this problem. Sorry for the inconveinence.

Kevin,
Notice that it's complaining about the "4.0.4.GA" attribute you are using for some version attribute in your doclet? You need to check the XDoclet docs at: http://xdoclet.sf.net to see what valid values are, these versions aren't just free-form, they actually effect how generation is performed.
