Help me get VE to work, please??? [message #86223]

Hi all!

I have downloaded VE (and GEF and EMF) for Eclipse 31M6. But when I try to
open a JFrame class, the view just does not appear and I get the error
message quoted below.

Please help me - I need to use Java 1.5 and so I have to use Eclipse 3.1,
but I cannot get VE to work. I am getting rather desperate. I have tried
deleting my Eclipse and redownloading, just to make sure it wasn't my files
being corrupted.

Hello,
We are in the process of making a stable build for M6, which will be
released shortly after testing and bug fixing is finished. In the
meantime you could try a version of VE which works on Eclipse 3.1M5a :
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ve/downloads/drops/I-I2005 0318-200503181537/index.html

There is an nightly build N20050407 built off M6 on VE's download site,
but comes with disclaimers as it is untested code.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sri.

Hi there!

I will try - but so far I have tried 3.1M5, 3.1M6 and 3.1M4 before with no
luck, using the automatic update feature. Is it the update, that is causing
the problems? With the 3.1M4, updated using the automatic update, I get the
following error message (when I try to open a JFrame file using the Visual
Editor):

"Error trying to set new file into editor
Reason: Missing project nature extension for
org.eclipse.jem.beaninfo.BeanInfoNature."

When I download the files and unzip them, do I then need to do anything else
before it will work?

BTW: I am fairly new to Eclipse, but already hooked. You guys have created a
great program. I just went out and purchased Java Developers Guide to
Eclipse, because I am _certain_ I can learn to do stuff better than I am at
present. Unfortunately, my teacher uses JBuilder :-(

The automatic update for VE is only for released versions of VE.
Currently the released versions only support Eclipse 3.0.x. they don't
support 3.1.

To support 3.1 of Eclipse you need to use the VE/GEF/EMF/Eclipse
development drivers. These have to be downloaded by hand because they
are in development and so are still changing. In fact VE doesn't work
yet on M6 (because of some big changes that went into M6). We have an
untested nightly build that was just made to be available yesterday
(Friday).

On the VE download page at the very top we list and have a link to all
of the required downloads that the download was compiled with. When
downloading drivers, it is best to use those links to download the
compatible drivers of the other projects. Once everyone releases the
final code, the update manager will point to them instead.

So, as long as you work with released code, you are fairly safe and
should use the update manager. It makes sure the right versions are
installed.

However, if you are feeling brave, you can use the download drivers, but
as I said above, one driver of VE will work with correct corresponding
drivers of the other projects as noted on the download page. It probably
WILL NOT work will later versions of the other projects. Things keep
changing during development.
