Hi,

I faced (again) a strange behaviour with myeclipse and firebird. After update to version 7.0 I can't open any firebird connection through the database explorer. Anyway, the same jdbc url works outside the the db explorer. I'm using the latest jaybird driver 2.16 for jdk 1_5.

Here is the installation summary:

Code:

*** Date: Samstag, 20. Dezember 2008 11.37 Uhr CET ** System properties: OS=WindowsXP OS version=5.1.0 Java version=1.5.0_11 *** MyEclipse details: MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench Version: 7.0 Build id: 7.0-20081201 *** Eclipse details: MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench Version: 7.0 Build id: 7.0-20081201 Eclipse Platform Version: 3.4.1.r341_v20080731-9I96EiDElYevwz-p1bP5z-NlAaP7vtX6Utotqsu Build id: M20080911-1700 Eclipse Java Development Tools Version: 3.4.1.r341_v20080709-0800-7o7tEAfEF_U5qyUgrb2HAp539P97 Build id: M20080709-0800 Eclipse Graphical Editing Framework GEF Version: 3.4.1.v20080806-67718083A56B4H2A3213573 Build id: 200809101400 Eclipse RCP Version: 3.4.100.r341_v20080814-989JESIEdAciFYfkZZsBfSwQ2341 Build id: M20080703-0800 Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment Version: 3.4.1.r341_v20080731-7T7U0E9mlRIuGUYviF_VP Build id: M20080703-0800 Eclipse startup command=-os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86 -showsplash -launcher C:\Program Files\Genuitec\MyEclipse 7.0\myeclipse.exe -name Myeclipse --launcher.library C:\Program Files\Genuitec\MyEclipse 7.0\../Common\plugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.101.R34x_v20080731\eclipse_1115.dll -startup C:\Program Files\Genuitec\MyEclipse 7.0\../Common\plugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar -clean -configuration configuration -vm C:\Program Files\Genuitec\Common\binary\com.sun.java.jre.win32.x86_1.5.0.011\bin\client\jvm.dll

With any older myeclipse versions 6.0/6.5 the connection can still be opened.

How can I solve the problem in myeclipse 7.0?

Thanks in advance,

Klaus

Klaus,
What is the error that you are getting? Is there any additional information about this error saved in the <workspace>/.metadata/.log file?

The database explorer simply doesn't open the database connection without reporting any errors. Reading database metadata is the last message displayed in the progress dialog.

The metadata/log file doesn't contain any additional information.

Hello Klaus,

So if you open your workspace where the Firebird driver is defined with MyEclipse 6.0/6.5 the connection works. But if you then open in MyEclipse 7.0 the same workspace and try to use the Firebird connection it fails?

Hello Greg,

that's exactly the problem. I use the same workspace with MyEclipse 6.5 and 7.0

The problem is solved.

After installing and configuring a new JRE 1.5.0_17 instead of the Genuitec Sun JRE 1.5.0_11 the Database Explorer works as expected.

Glad you resolved the issue. Thank you for posting this information here.
