I just downloaded myeclipse, and created a project
in the we root, I created a file which I am having trouble opening with myeclipse jsp designer. It hangs when I try to do that.
It seems to open ok when I use myeclipse jsp editor, it was hanging on that too previously.

I had uinstalled workbench-for struts (which I have disabled) and the jsp editor seems to open the file up. Still no luck on the jsp designer.

I am using
eclipse 3.1

What is your Eclipse Build ID from the Help > About menu and your MyEclipse Build ID from the MyEclipse > About menu?

Also look in your log file (<workspace dir>\.metadata\.log) near the bottom and see if you can find exceptions pertaining to the problem and paste them here.

Eclipse build details
Eclipse SDK
Version 3.1.0
Build id: I20050627-1435

MyEclipse build
VErsion 4.0.3 GA
Build id: 20051025-4.0.3-GA

The log file had a number of errors from previous plugin installations, but I cleaned it out and reproduced the problem.
I got the following message
!ENTRY com.genuitec.eclipse.core 1 0 2006-01-08 13:49:21.218
!MESSAGE Unable to locate .myeclipse.properties file

Does myeclipse have any conflict with other plugins ?

thanks

Update:
I'm in a time crunch so I'd really aprreciate having some solution for this. thankyou
I read some other posts and tried the following

I am not sure how to use the -clean option with the myeclipse shortcut, the shortcut refers to a bmp file and putting a -clean option next to it gives me a could not start jvm error.

So with the usual way of starting myeclipse, I make a new workspace and a new web project.
Now I cant even create a jsp file, It just hangs.

here is the log file,
the last entry runs off into a really long line no line breaks...

1) What is your Internet Explorer version from the Help > About menu in IE?

2) You need to add your JDK's /bin directory to your System's PATH to be able to validate JSP pages (which is what all those exceptions in the log file are)

3) The way you use clean is to add it as the first argument: eclipse.exe -clean -<other arguments>

IE version
6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519

Do you have Visual Studio installed?


Also I've passed this information to the visual designer team, in the mean time right click and use OPen With > "MyEclipse 'Classic' JSP Editor" to get around the problem.

Yes I do have visual studio installed. But why would that interfere with opening it in jsp ?

Anyway. I uninstalled eclipse (I had omondo uml installed) and the nitrox bea or whatever workbench, which as I mentioned I disabled, I dont know how to uninstall the damn thing. I found in one of the stack traces that some event seemd to be handled by a class that had nitrox in its package name when it was supposed to be disabled, so I figured the only way is to reinstall everything.
so far it seems to be ok.

Its a real pain that anytime I try some new plugin, the entire environment gets messed up.
Thankyou

Visual Studio instruments Internet Explorer when it is installed, these changes break *our* API calls against IE and cause the designer to break.


Is everything working for you now that reinstalled?
