Wow, where to start.
Okay, I installed Eclipse 3 on my Mac OS X (10.3.3) machine. It installed fine and I ran it no problems.Then I installed MyEclipse and well, the install went fine, but when I launched… let see. I could no longer run my own ant scripts (the option was completely missing when ctrl-clicking on the build.xml file).
Okay, when going into the Window > preferences, and then clicking on MyEclipse… most of the configuration options are missing. There are no Application Servers (you can’t even expand that because there’s no little “arrow”)
what else, oh yeah, did have an older version of Eclipse (2.1.3) running on this machine but I was having all sorts of problems with ant builds (for some reason everytime I wanted to run my own build.xml script the darn thing would start looking for xdoclet-build.xml scripts and start trying to build those as well!!!). I learned that this was a problem with eclipse 2.x so I upgraded, then I found out what .externalBuildTools was all about and deleted those form my projects that had *nothing* to do with MyEclipse (why/how they got their in the first place is a mystery to me — because I didn’t do that). I should say that I never had a problem with this until MyEclipse entered the picture. I mean, the idea is to just build the project you want built… not the entire universe 🙂
But what I did was, completely delete the old version of eclipse, and then did a clean install (even to a new location… my HOME/Applications directory) and then launched it (like I said, it worked fine) — then I quit it, and then installed MyEclipse. That’s where I am right now.

And is that working for you, or are the problems with that install what you are describing above?
Also please post the answers to the questions we ask for in the posting guidelines, TIP: Hit “Post Reply” and click “Insert” and answer the questions. Also the M-build of the 3.0 release you are using is very important and exact full versions of everything else.
Also your log file is important as well, that is in <workspace dir>\.metadata\.log, and copy out the last 2 or 3 entries starting with “!SESSION——–” into a message here for us to look over to seee what might be going on.
