For background, I'm playing around with what feels like another bug to me: I can't seem to make an error message go away. My log4j.xml causes a "red x problem" to show up in the problems list:

Severity Description Resource In Folder Location Creation Time
2 File not found: "/home/jake/opt/eclipse/workspace/Pillar/etc/log4j.dtd (No such file or directory)". log4j.xml Pillar/etc line 2 April 25, 2005 2:38:12 PM

...even though the reference to log4j.dtd has been deleted from this file. Most annoying, but it got me to playing with the XML Catalog properites in an attempt to register the DTD with the system.

I'm not exactly certain what's going on, but any entries that I add to the "User Specified Entries" will not delete. Some notes:

- The "delete" operation removes the entry, but upon exiting Window / Preferences and returning, the entry is still there.
- This is the same for deleting multiple entities.
- If I edit an entry, a new entry is added with the changes, but a copy of the original entry remains. This seems to happen regardless of the field changed.

(...so I'm getting a whole lot of entries built up pretty quickly, here... ;) )

The only entry for today in .metadata/.logs:

!SESSION Jun 08, 2005 12:23:02.175 ---------------------------------------------
eclipse.buildId=M200409161125
java.version=1.4.2_08

!ENTRY org.eclipse.update.configurator Jun 08, 2005 12:23:02.177

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Jake,
Removing entries is a known bug sorry you had to run into that. As far as the XML validation error, right click on your project root > MyEclipse > Remove all Error markers, and then rebuild your project. See if that helps.

Worked like a charm, actually! Thank you. (I actually tried this the day you posted it, but didn't have time to respond until today.) Is the known bug reproducable on the dev end there? If not, let me know if you need any help from a user that can reproduce it.

Thanks again.

Jake

Jake,
Do you mean the bug with the XML catalog? Yes it's reproducable for us.

Hi,

I also have this problem.
Is there any workaround on removing the entry?
I just don't like dirty catalog entry when i create XML from dtd.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Iwan,

This bug has been fixed since version 4.0GA. What version of MyEclipse are you using?

Your configuration details would be helpful. Instructions here: Posting Guidelines

Best,
Brian.

Brian,

I found out that the information actually resides in
.metadata\.plugins\com.ibm.etools.xmlcatalog\user.xmlcatalog. I edit the file and the entry seems to be removed as expected after restart the IDE,
I hope it is safe to do that...

Anyway, here is my configuration details:
O/S: Win2K
Eclipse Version: 3.0.2 Build id: 200503110845

Iwan,

We do not recommend changing internal files like you have just done, but since you aren't experiencing any averse effects, OK.

You are using ME 3.8.5, which is why you sill see the issue, as I mentioned in a prevous post it has been fixed in ME 4.0. I recommend upgrading anyway becuase there are a ton of new features and fixes, but that's your choice of course. :)

Best,
Brian.

Just a quick note: If you choose to upgrade to MyEclipse 4, you will need to move to Eclipse 3.1
