I'm trying to get the features/plugins to get web projects. I'm using
Eclipse 3.3 and I just downloaded the 2.0 non-SDK Web Tools Platform
Complete zip. The way it is described there is exactly what I want to do;
develop web applications. I don't care about developing more tools.
I unzipped it into my eclipse directory and restarted eclipse. There are
no options to create a new web project, nor is there a J2ee perspective.
When I look at the Eclipse features, I see JST and WST both listed there.
So what am I missing? How do I get the J2EE perspective and web projects?
I've had this working at my previous job, not sure what I've done
different this time.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I tried this and it's not working. I added the
following to eclipse.ini :
-vm
C:\Sun\SDK\jdk\bin\java.exe
I tried many permutations of this, including javaw.exe instead, and doing
it all on one line with quotes around it, based on different
articles/posts I found.
But I'm confused by sun's versioning. I downloaded J2EE 5 earlier and
installed it into the default location, which is C:\Sun\SDK. During the
install I noticed '1.6' a couple times. I changed my JAVA_HOME to
C:\Sun\SDK\jdk. When I run java -version from the command line, it says
1.6!
What next?

I believe that the path you need to specify for the -vm parameter is the
root dir of the jdk install, so you would want to write something like:
-vm C:\Sun\SDK\jdk
Regarding the versioning, a 1.6 VM should be fine as well. The J2EE
distributions lag behind the J2SE (base technology), so you can find a
J2EE 5.0 distribution based on a 6.0 J2SE VM.

I tried this as well, still not working.
Is there something else I need to do to somehow enable the WTP features,
once the VM change has been made? I've gone into help->software
updates->Manage Configuration and JST and WST are both listed there as
enabled. The way I've been checking if this is working is trying to open a
J2ee perspective, and/or create a web project. Neither option is available.

Brian,
You were correct about the -vm parameter. I almost always specify this
parameter, and it should be the full path of java.exe or javaw.exe. You
might try temporarily adding "-debug" and "-clean" on separate lines
just above the -vm line in your eclipse.ini. After starting/restarting
Eclipse, check the Error Log view for "bundles which are not resolved".
The info available may allow you to determine if some requirement in a
WTP plug-in dependency chain is not being met.
Cheers,
Larry
