how to install ve 1.1? [message #99659] Sat, 23 July 2005 22:10 Go to next message

Originally posted by: numerodix.gmail.com

I'm running eclipse on gentoo and I've installed eclipse3.1. I'd like to use
the visual editor but I can't for the life of me figure out how to install
it. I could not find any documentation on that on the project site. I have
tried just unzipping the zip files into /opt/eclipse-extensions-3/, which
is where portage installs them by default. When I fire up eclipse and go to
Help>About Eclipse SDK>Plug-in Details, VE1.1 is listed, along with GEF3.1
and EMF2.1.0. But when I try to open the Visual Editor, I get an error
(nullpointer if I remember correctly).

The first thing I did was to install VE (and GEF, EMF) through the built-in
update manager but I ended up with an error precluding VE from starting. I
traced that to an incompatibility between <=VE1.1 and eclipse3.1, but the
update site does not list VE1.1, so I tried taking the manual route which
failed as mentioned already.

So.. how do I install the beast?

Martin,
Try remove all in eclipse_home/configuration except config.ini,
restart eclipse and add extension from Help-software-updates-Manage
instalation
(right click on eclipse sdk,choose add extension and set
/opt/eclipse-extensions-3)

-clean all existing projects

I have a problems with plugin cache in eclipse 3.1, too

regards

Time to head to Bugzilla; I'd guess this one belongs to PDE/UI.
