I am involved in an effort at my company to migrate from RAD to MyEclipse Blue 9.1

We are using the Server Connector functionality to deploy to, start, stop, etc a local WebSphere application server 6.1 instance.

I am encountering an issue in which the Server Runtime for WAS 6.1 (as seen through Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add Libraries) is not available in some workspaces while it is available in others. I am following the same steps for configuring a workspace each time so I do not understand why this is the case. The server runtime is required to compile some of our Java classes.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

coolhandbert,

I am afraid, your issue is not clear to me. Please answer below queries to help me investigate further -
1. Open MyEclipse Blue IDE, from menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and copy and paste the same here
2. From menu options click on Help > About MyEclipse Blue and copy and paste build and version-id
3. Could you attach a screenshot of the issue you are facing to help me get a visual?
4. Clear your .log file located at [your workspace dir]/.metadata/.log, replicate the issue and attach .log
5. Perform -clean, refer - http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-10280.html

Let me know how this works for you.

Here you go...

Any help on this issue?

coolhandbert, ,

My apologies for the late reply. I am able to replicate this issue. Could you investigate what is the difference between the MyEclipse Blue profiles and environment of resources where the server runtime library for WAS shows and the ones where it does not.

I have escalated it to dev team members. They would get back to you on this.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

coolhandbert,

There are some areas connected with server runtimes that we are improving in Release 10.1 (after the next major release). Currently, server runtime libraries are not defined by default. However, if you have migrated a RAD project or have created an application client project targeted at WebSphere, you will see the WAS runtime in the list of server runtime libraries. These particular actions also create a file, com.genuitec.eclipse.blue.projects.properties, in the .settings folder under the project folder. If the properties here point to a bad location, you may not see the server runtime in the list; in this case correct the location and restart MyEclipse or close and open the project.

You can also create a User Library and add the appropriate jars to it. User libraries need not be deployed with a web application, the settings are in the project's properties under MyEclipse->Web or under the workspace wide properties under MyEclipse->Java Enterprise Project->Web Project.

I hope this helps. Let us know if you have further questions.

Ah, ok, it is entirely possible that in the workspace where the runtimes appears that I did perform the project migration. It seems that the runtimes are defined during the actual migration since copying the projects (with accompanying configuration files) does not cause the runtimes to be present in the new workspace.

For now I can work around the issue by mapping directly to the required JARs within WebSphere or creating a user library. Thanks for your help.

No problem, coolhandbert. Thanks for responding.
