VE installation problem (newbie) [message #108163] Mon, 26 September 2005 20:33 Go to next message

Hello!

I've been trying to install VE lately, but didn't succeed.
I upacked the downloaded archives (emf-sdo-runtime-2.1.0.zip,
GEF-runtime-3.1.zip, VE-runtime-1.1.0.1.zip) into the correct plugin
directory of my Eclipse 3.1 installation. Afterwards I ran eclipse with
the -clean command. But the VE components still aren't there.
Did I forget anything? Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Anton Meinert.

Unzip the zips you mentioned into the folder above your eclipse folder.
The zips contain the path eclipse/plugins/foo.plugin, so unziping
directly into the plugin folder does not work.

I also recommend using the update manager instead of zips. That will
make sure there aren't conflicts and that pre-reqs are there and it will
install correctly for you.

Note: The update manager will first install VE 1.1.0, then you can scan
for updates and get VE 1.1.0.1.

I also tried the update manager, but I wouldn't help :-(

there is no 64-bit specific information to be had.

Hope this helps,

If it fails, please let us know how it fails.

If it is not found, we've seen cases where when you have an existing
customized perspective and then add the VE, that the Toolbar is not
updated with the new visual class wizard. However it should be under,
