Do the visual editors work on 64bit Linux? I don't think I have ever been able to get those to work but I don't see many other comments about it so I didn't know if it was a configuration issue on my part.

When I try it either hangs and I have to kill the process or I get the following error (on 8.0 M1)

Code:

I am using OpenSuse 11.1 with Mozilla 3.5.3 installed and xul-runner versions 1.8.1, 1.9.0 and 1.9.1 installed to test if that was the issue.

Thanks

Can you set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to "" in a script before launching MyEclipse. Does that help?

I tried this and I was still getting the same thing. When I removed all the xulrunners but the one needed for Mozilla 3.5 I get the popup saying that the design view is unavailable because it conflicts with the system browser. The page it points to recommends doing what you just suggested.

Thanks,
Edward

Edward,
I will ask the dev to look into this and we will try to fix this for the 8.0 or 8.5 release. Sorry for the inconvinience.

This still seems to be an issue with MyEclipse for Spring 8.5.0

Startup command is:


export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=""
cd "/home/adrian/Genuitec/MyEclipse for Spring 8.5/"
"/home/adrian/Genuitec/MyEclipse for Spring 8.5/myeclipseforspring" -vmargs -Xmx500M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -Dlinux.experimental=true

I get the exact same problem on Open Suse 11.2 64 bit running Myeclipse 8.5 final release. Stack trace given below. Given that this has been an open problem since Oct 2009 are you looking to fix this anytime soon ?

I develop on a linux environment most of the time. My subscription renewal is coming up and myeclipse is of no use to me if the WYSIWYG JSP / HTML editors are non functional.

What is the possibility of including a patch for this for a future milestone release ?

I would like a response to this query please

romulusisin, adrian.challinor,

Can you answer few queries for me to get to the root cause?
1. Can you copy and paste your installation details? Open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details.
2. How did you install MyEclipse? Meaning all-in-one installer / pulse / archived update site on top of eclipse classic?
3. Click on Help > About MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench > Installation Details > Configuration, look under *** System properties and copy and paste com.genuitec.pulse.client.handshake.id here?
4. Can you check Window > Preferences > General > Web Browser and let me know what is the default web-browser selected?
5. Can you elaborate in detail the steps that resulted in the above issue. I would appreciate if you can attach screenshots. You can either [pm]/send a mail to support@myeclipseide.com with reference to this weblink. Please include ATTN:Joy in the subject, this will help in quick tracing.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Late breaking news - Changing the editor via right click, Open With... and selecting "MyEclipse Visual JSF Dsigner" as opposed to "MyEclipse Visual JSP Designer" seems to work better.

Email with screenshots on its way

Thank you Adrian. I acknowledge receipt of your mail with screenshots. I shall escalate this issue to dev team members. In the interim, I would request you to use MyEclipse Visual JSF Designer. I shall get back to you, whenever I have more on this.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

All,

We are aware of this problem. And this will be fixed in MyEclipse 9.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

That's great news!
Let's wait MyEclipse 9 and check it out.

I just install the 9.1.0 version and have the same problem

rprimintela ,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue with MyEclipse.

1) Can you add the -Dlinux.experimental=true to the end of the myeclipse.ini file in your MyEclipse installation folder? Make sure it is after the -vmargs line.

2) If the above workaround doesn't work for you, can you share your OS and version details ?
