jjastrow,
Can you try using pulse for a quick fix? The following are the steps -
1. Download pulse explorer from www.poweredbypulse.com.
2. Open pulse explorer and select "Eclipse Galileo" in the left pane.
3. Your profile should be listed under "My Profiles". Right click on it and select "Re-Install and Run"
Let me know if this works for you.

Okay, that fixed it after I also removed an invalid entry.

jjastrow,
Good to know that you are all set.
Do let us know if you have any issues

Actually, it did not fix it. Still getting the same error. Here are the logs from this morning just started it up:

jjastrow,
Sorry for the inconvenience.
This can also be caused by the missing myeclipse.ini file. Can you try doing a clean install of MyEclipse?
The following are the steps -
1. Run the uninstaller.
2. Make sure the MyEclipse Install Directory has been completely removed
2.1. Pulse Install Directory, on XP it's under C:\Program Files in \Pulse or \Genuitec, and on Vista it's under <USER.HOME>\AppData\Local
and then under \Pulse or \Genuitec again
3. Then make sure the pulse2.locator file under <USER.HOME> is erased as well
4. Now install MyEclipse either from all-in-one installer or from pulse.

Let me know how that works for you.

That idea scares me. I don't want to lose ALL my configurations. I've spent so much time getting my existing config and add-ons just right for my development projects. I'm thinking it will take a long time to redo much of what I have. Are there MyEclipse config files that I can back up to be sure I don't lose all my past work?

jjastrow,
What is the OS you are using? Can you search for myeclipse.ini file in your system and copy that to MyEclipse installation dir?
Alternately you can try creating a myeclipse.ini file under the installation dir. For Windows, the following are the contents of the file

Quote:

-startup ../../Common/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar --launcher.library ../../Common/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.200.v20090519 -install C:/Program Files/Genuitec/Profiles/MyEclipse 8.5 -vm C:/Program Files/Genuitec/Common/binary/com.sun.java.jdk.win32.x86_1.6.0.013/jre/bin/client/jvm.dll -configuration configuration -vmargs -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=64m

Please replace with appropriate directory structures where ever necessary and also ensure that no special characters are introduced.
Let me know if that helps

My file was in C:\Program Files\Genuitec\Profiles\MyEclipse 8.x\myeclipse.ini
Only difference was mine had "8.x"
-install
C:/Program Files/Genuitec/Profiles/MyEclipse 8.x

I'm about to renew my license and change from the Pro to the new Spring version. Will that require a reinstall? If so, then we probably should wait and see how that goes.

jjastrow,
MyEclipse for Spring requires a separate installation and license.

Okay, I installed MyEclipse for Spring using Pulse and get the same error every time I start up. This occurs even when I switch to other workspaces or create a new workspace. Most everything seems to work okay when I close the error message popup so I'm not stuck. What can you suggest?

jjastrow,
Can you copy paste the contents of your .ini file and .pulse2.locator (located in your user home dir)?

jjastrow,
All your files look good. It could be possible that pulse is getting confused by any multiple .ini files related to other installations at any different locations.
The only workaround that I can suggest is a clean install after removing all the previous installations.

Your suggestion does not make sense to me. Is Pulse still an issue if I'm getting this error when opening Eclipse?
"Could not initialize class org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient"
I would think that the eclipse startup process is not finding the right jar file or something.

A reinstall of everything also does not make sense because I just did a reinstall of MyEclipse for Spring. Isn't there someone who might know exactly what this error message means?
