I'm sure this is a stupid question with a simple answer but I've grepped
and Googled and searched this newsgroup for two days and I can't find an
answer. Thanks for your patience.
I want to use Eclipse and webtools platform to work on a
Javascript-based, AJAX-y web UI. I have a 'Windows XP system with no
Eclipse at all on it and a Fedora Core 4 Linux system with "Native
Eclipse 3.1M6". I don't really care which I end up working on. (I have
a mild preference for Linux but I have a coworker who should wants to
use 'Windows so solutions for both are welcome.)
Trying to update the Linux-based Eclipse gives me all sorts of errors.
I gave up on that.
I tried downloading the BEA bundle's for Linux from
http://www.bea.com/callisto/eclipse.html . I tried "Web Tools Platform
Project 1.5.3 all-in-one" and 1.5.2 of the same. Both unpack and let me
run Eclipse but when I try to create a Dynamic Web project, I get an error:
Problem Opening Wizard
The selected wizard could not be started.
Reason:
while resolving class:
org.eclipse.jst.servlet.ui.project.facet.WebProjectWizard
The Details button just repeats the last line.
I thought that the point of the bundles was that they Just Worked but
I'm stumped. What distribution or update or whatever can I install to
create a dynamic web project?
TIA.
Chris

OK. Got the Release Candidate installed and my Java updated.

Got that, too. Thanks. That was waaaaaaaaaaay less painful than
getting the bundle from BEA.
So, I open Eclipse, start a Dynamic We project and get into Java EE
perspective (which seems weird, Java and JavaScript are distant cousins)
and ... see an overwhelming number of items in my Project Explorer.
I've got my AJAX project started and stored in CVS. I'm imagining that
I should be able to click on src, find some obscure option, and check
out my project. But I don't see how to do that. Maybe I have to change
to a CVS view, or something. In the short term, it'd be OK if I could
just copy files to where Eclipse expects to find them. I guess I'll try
copying to workspace\<project>\src and see what happens.

The Java EE perspective is the perspective of WTP, which is intended to be
used for web development. At the beginning the web development was mainly in
the Java EE area. AJAX is something new to WTP and, yes, it seems quite
strange to make AJAX development in the Java EE perspective. May be when the
ATF project get more mature, a new perspective can be defined. You can ask
in the eclipse.webtools.atf newsgroup for their plans in this direction.
About CVS. There is a CVS Repository Exlporing perspective that you should
use. There you can connect to your repository and check out your project. If
you choose "Check Out As..." you have the possibility to checkout in
existing project and folder in your workspace. Once checked out you can deal
with CVS operations from the Java EE perspective - use the "Team" context
menu.
