Blank Shell [message #84816] Sat, 26 March 2005 13:50 Go to next message

Hi,

I have been trolling through the threads but don't see quite what I am
looking for.

I have just started with VE 2.0.1 on Eclipse 3.0.1.

I create an SWT Shell application - it has the main call.
I added a couple of labels and a button.

I can see the code. I can run it and it looks okay, but the design
palette has only a blank shell, the labels and button are not shown.

Also the design palette is showing a error
size: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException(object is not an instance of
declaring class)

I also seem to have killed my .log file whilst trying to get its data.
How do I get it back?

Thanks in advance.

Ian

The .log file is always created when required and gets continually
written, so in fact deleting it is a graeat way to ensure you have a
clean file with no noise in it.

Open your class and then get the .log file in the .metadata directory of
whereever the workbench is. If when you launch eclipse.exe you use the
command line option -showlocation this should always let you see the
workspace location at in the Workbech window.

Once you have the .log file attach it to a note because this contains
the detail of what is going wrong and hopefuly we can work out why the
target VM image isn't showing up correctly in GEF.

Best regards,

Joe

Thanks for the reply.

I still don't seem to be able to make my .log file reappear, but I can
see, from the about information, the GEF is version 3.0.1.

I'm sure my problem is just some sort of configuration thing, I will
keep digging.

Cheers,

Ian

To get at the .log, Use the Preferences page -> Capabilities -> Development and check the Plug-in Development checkbox.

Then, Use Window->Show View -> Error log

The .log file is always created when required and gets continually
written, so in fact deleting it is a graeat way to ensure you have a
clean file with no noise in it.

Open your class and then get the .log file in the .metadata directory of
whereever the workbench is. If when you launch eclipse.exe you use the
command line option -showlocation this should always let you see the
workspace location at in the Workbech window.

Once you have the .log file attach it to a note because this contains
the detail of what is going wrong and hopefuly we can work out why the
target VM image isn't showing up correctly in GEF.

Best regards,

Joe

Thanks for the reply.

I still don't seem to be able to make my .log file reappear, but I can
see, from the about information, the GEF is version 3.0.1.

I'm sure my problem is just some sort of configuration thing, I will
keep digging.

Cheers,

Ian
