3. Getting Help

MyEclipse provides numerous technical support resources:


4. Known Issues

Vista Support

  • MyEclipse 5.5GA and all SNAP application are installed in the Programs Files directory of Windows Vista platform must be run with Administrator privileges. Failure to do so will result in Vista prohibiting MyEclipse to launch with an SWT dll link exception appearing in the MyEclipse log.
  • MyEclipse ScreenCapture Pro feature have been removed due to reliability. Experimental access to this feature is available by  launching MyEclipse in XP Compatibility Mode.

Matisse4MyEclipse

  • Matisse4MyEclipse is not part of the primary MyEclipse download.  The instructions for downloading and installing Matisse4MyEclipse are provide in the MyEclipse Learning Center which is found in the Help Infocenter. Launch the Help Info Center (see Help > Help Contents) and navigate to the help topic,  "MyEclipse Learning Center > Swing RCP Development > Getting Started".
  • The Form Editor rendering of modified custom sub-forms and Java beans is not automatically updated. You must close and reopen the Form Editor for the rendering to be updated and correctly rendered.

JPA

  • MyEclipse offers enhanced DB metadata analysis for creating annotations in your entity class.  Following is a list of annotations and attributes that support database table and column content-assist:

    @Column (name, table)
    @Table (name)
    @DiscriminatorColumn (name)
    @JoinColumn (table attribute only)
    @JoinTable (name)
    @SecondaryTable (name)
    @TableGenerator (name)
    @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn (referencedColumnName attribute only)

    Known nnotations with no database context-assist include:
    @EntityResult
    @FieldResult
    @ColumnResult
    @JoinColumn(name & referencedColumnName attributes)
    @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name attribute)

New Visual JSF Designer

  • If the design view gets out-of-sync with the source, use the "Refresh" button on the toolbar to correct the issue.  If the Refresh button does not correct the issue, then manually close and reopen the affected editor.

Facelets Support

  • Code-Assist and semantic validation are not available for custom tag libraries.

Web Services - XFire

  • 1.2.6 XFire Library Upgrade - The XFire libraries have been upgraded from 1.2.4 to 1.2.6.  All existing XFire projects will be automatically upgraded to use the new libraries.  However, if you had previously customized the XFire libraries shipped with MyEclipse, the upgrade will not be automatically performed and your projects will remain in a non-compilable state.  To correct this situation, please go to Window > Preferences > MyEclipse > Project Capabilities > Web Services and select "Restore Defaults" to complete the upgrade.
  • When generating a service using a WSDL file (top down scenario), the wsdlURL element in the resulting service bean, we do not add a wsdlURL element with the URL of the WSDL used for generation if the URL points to the local filesystem.

Spring Known Issues

  • 2.0.5 Library Upgrade - The Spring libraries were upgraded from version 2.0.2 to 2.0.5.  All existing Spring projects will be automatically upgraded to use the new libraries.  However, if you had previously customized the Spring libraries shipped with MyEclipse, the upgrade will not be automatically performed and your projects will remain in a non-compilable state.  To correct this situation, please go to Window > Preferences > MyEclipse > Project Capabilities > Spring and select "Restore Defaults" to complete the upgrade.
  • The Spring 2.0.5 Core libraries contain an older version of the commons-attributes, version 2.1, so it will be compatible with some application servers.
  • The spring.ftl and spring.vm templates are not copied into projects to which spring support is added. 

Cross Platform Visual JSP/HTML Designer Known Issues

  • Editing XHTML documents does not support code-assist of non-HTML tags.
  • Struts and JSF custom tags do not render styleClass attributes in design view.
  • Empty table cells are initially shown collapsed in design view.
  • Cut/Copy/Paste of tables not fully supported.

AJAX Tools Issues

  • Web 2.0 Browser does not support proxy server configuration.

Matisse4MyEclipse Known Issues

  • The Form Editor rendering of modified custom sub-forms and Java beans is not automatically updated. You must close and reopen the Form Editor for the rendering to be updated and correctly rendered.

MyEclipse on Linux Version Known Issues

  • Linux Internal Web Browser Stability
    The Visual HTML Designer on Linux has exhibited rare stability problems on some systems. Until this matter is resolved the WYSIWYG design mode has been restricted to a source-only mode of operation. You can reenable the WYSIYWG design mode for experimental use by including the commandline flag: -D linux.experimental 
  • Linux Internal Web Browser Compatibility
    The Visual HTML Designer and AJAX tools on linux have an incompatibility with the Eclipse internal web browser.  Please read this document for more information.
  • Linux X86_64 Compatibility
    The Visual JSP/HTML Designer and AJAX tools are not available on the 64-bit versions of Eclipse on Linux X86_64.
  • Flash plugin unavailable in Web 2.0 Browser
    When loading a webpage that contains a flash plugin, you will be prompted to download a plugin.  You must press cancel to continue to use the browser as normal.  Also you will need to resize the window once to fix the blank page because of a painting problem. As a result the MyEclipse AJAX tutorial does not property function in the browser.

MyEclipse on Machintosh OS/X Known Issues

  • Due to MyEclipse instability issues on the Mac platform the current features are not available: Matisse4MyEclipse Visual JSP/HTML Designer, MyEclipse UML, and Matisse4MyEclipse. We are working to resolve the instability issues as quickly as possible.

MyEclipse Hibernate Tools Known Issues

  • Bug #3858, JBoss did not update the version number of the Hibernate DTD's from Hibermate 3.0.5 to the 3.1. While the Hibernate 3.1 DTD's are backward compatible it is possible to use a Hibernate 3.1 DTD that can result in an error on a Hibernate upgrade. To resolve the ambiguity MyEclipse chose to use the Hibernate 3.1 DTDs by default in the Hibernate editors.
  • Locale specification must include country code When explicitly launching MyEclipse with the "-nl " commandline arguments the locale must include country code, e.g., -nl en_EN or -nl ja_JP.
    Failure to include the locale country code will result in an error when the HQL Editor is launched.

MyEclipse CSS Editor

  • If code folding is enabled and the properties view is open, typing in the CSS editor may be very slow.  See Eclipse Bug#158877

Bugzilla Feature

  • The Bugzilla integration has been removed from MyEclipse 5.5 feature set due to its lack of support for any release of Bugzilla 2.16 or greater. An alternative Bugzilla support feature is planned for the MyEclipse 6.0 release.
