When installing MyEclipse 5.1, it's possible with some configurations of Eclipse (that already have WST and JST installed) to get into a situation where your right-click context menu in MyEclipse will stop working (or will popup and then close instantly). If you check your log file (<workspace dir>\.metadata\.log) you will see a series of "ClassNotFoundExceptions" logged pertaining to a validation helper class.
The cause of this is that in MyEclipse 5.1, the MyEclipse team had to slightly augment the WST and JST plugins to support the new Validation Exclusion feature (you can mark files to be ignored for validation). Unfortunately on setups of Eclipse that already have these plugins installed, most likely from WTP, it's possible that on startup, the Eclipse platform is loading the standard versions of WST and JST, instead of the slightly modified MyEclipse copies.
The way to fix this is to open the Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration dialog. Then expand the Eclipse node (not the MyEclipse node) and drill down to find the WST and JST plugins. First you disable the JST plugin, and restart if necessary, then the WST plugin and restart again if necessary. After that, since you disabled the duplicates of WST and JST, as the Eclipse platform is loading, it will load the slightly modified MyEclipse copies of those plugins instead and the problem will be gone. |
