Restarted Eclipse3.2, recreated project.
No Visual Class in New (either from File or in righ-clicking)

What has changed?

The VE 1.2 Integration builds are compatible with Eclips 3.2. Are you
using that?

Update Manager fails to get 1.2 [message #112676 is a reply to message #112616]

Hi, Jeff,
thanks, for yr note. It helped

I checked, all VE plug-ins are 1.1.0. At home PC, in office I have OK 1.2
(by Update Manager)

At home PC I always picks up Mirror site from the prompts:
[Portugal] INESC Porto
for recent updates.

I rerun picking up first lines from prompts. I had got new update VE
1.1.0.1 (instead of 1.1.0 by yesterday's update)
that also doesn't function

So, I went to eclipse.org/wep downloads, got and copied VE 1.2 manually.

Now I bewildered:
my office PC Update Manager catches 1.2 and at home I fail one time after
another. What is it?

Why is it?

Eclipse3.2 is out of sync after manual update to VE 1.2 [message #112694 is a reply to message #112676]

where, again from [Portugal] INESC Porto

But why Update Manager doesn't catch up?

This is strange because at my office PC I did have it by Update Manager at
once

So, I downloaded and copied manually VE 1.2 plugins but still no options of
VE in Eclipse3.2!

VE 1.2 is a development driver (and so is Eclipse 3.2), thus updates for
it are not available through the Update Manager. All development
drivers need to be installed manually.

The best thing to do at this point would be to go to
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ve/downloads/drops/I-I2005 1205-200512051736/index.html
Download the versions of Eclipse, EMF, GEF and the VE Runtime listed on
that page. Unzip Eclipse, then EMF, GEF, and VE, then run that version
of Eclipse. That'll be Eclipse 3.2 running VE.

Note that you'll be using a development version of Eclipse and VE, so it
won't be as stable as running a release version.

Hope this helps,
- Jeff

Jeff,
I copied all that already manually

Eclipse did not catch up (VE options did not appear).

Your msg doesn't explain also why I have got VE 1.2 from the first update by
Update Manager.

Now, I made it work after all those failures after I deleted:
1)<ECLIPSE_HOME>\configuration
1a) restored config.ini from eclipse-SDK-3.2M3-win32.zip
2) myWrorkSpceDir320\.metadata\*.*

Deleting just configuration did not help

This link helped me:

Thanks for yor help,

UpdteMgr gets only releases? [message #112734 is a reply to message #112721]

While GMF can be installed only on Eclipse3.2, i.e. on Eclipse milestone
As I understood GMF did not have any releases and just recently emitted
first official milestone.

The decision to post development drivers on the update manager is made
on a team by team basis. VE and GEF don't post development drivers, GMF
and EMF do.

Jeff,
thanks a lot. I really needed to know this about all those
mentioned by u (GEF, EMF, GMF, VE) badly and yesterday .
Now it doesn't seem to me sosupranatural.

Since I have got in my office PC VE 1.2 (working without any trouble and
without any manual downloading of VE drivers in Eclipse3.2 and by, how I was
thinking, Upload Manager), I guess that I have somehow got VE 1.2 (dev)
drivers to Eclipse3.2 there with GMF (or EMF) downloads?

While at home PC I didn't get GMF and bumped into trouble with VE (something
contra-intuitive to and haunting me)
