Hi Harald

I retries and still the wizard does not open. It does work for the M7 milestone. I will try and download the nightly EPP packet tomorrow and see if there is something with my workspace.

I have got some times to test this out here is my results.
Great.

2) Head version using Gangmede as dev platform, works fine (my workspace here is quite new).
Also great. :)

3) Head version using Europa as dev platform, doesn't work. I don't know why, I stepped through the code. Nothing strange happens, line 114 in eu.geclipse.aws.ec2.ui.actions.LaunchAMI.java is executed as expected.  Maybe something is messed up in my workspace (which is quite old) and line 77 (DebugPlugin.getDefault().getLaunchManager();) returns something that will not launch ?? If nobody else have any problems, then I guess that this is ok, and it will work for me when we are switching to Ganymede as the main development platform anyway.   
Not that great but I think I know why. You stated that your workspace is quite old? In a recent mail to the dev ml from the 11.7.08 (AWS Projects invalid) i stated that due to the changes in the AWS account handling the AWS Vo structure changed. The vo does now hold the aws access id. All older vos do not contain this access id which is also required when launching an AMI. gEclipse has to know what account to use when launching an instance.

Unfortunately it is not this. My run-time environment is new, when I referred workspace I meant the one that are holding the g-Eclipse plugins. 

Thanks,
Harald

Hope this helps.

Hi Harald

I am happy to hear that you are trying out the AWS implementation. The
behaviour you are describing is originating from the fact that only
images to which you have explicit launch access are listed under My
Images.

This means, that you will need to set explicit details here like:
"ec2-modify-image-attribute <ami-id> -l -a <theAwsAccountId>" (the
account id is not your aws access id btw ;)).
This did the trick, it shows up now.

This lists your image
under MyImages. Thereby it is also possible to list images which do not
belong to you but to whom you have execution rights. Agreeable this is
a little confusing and therefore it is planned to refactor this
category structure and to create something like:

-Images
+- All Images - Describe all AMIs, public, private or owned, that the
user has access to.
+- My Owned Images - Images which the user has created and can access/run
+- My Accessible Images - Images which do not belong to the user but to
which he has the rights to run

I hope this did help you a little. Your feedback is greatly appreciated :)

Moritz


Dear Moritz

I finally got around to try out the AWS in this regard I have a   question. I managed to create my own image and registered it   (ami-148d697d). Within g-Eclipse I can see my running instances  in  the "Computing" folder, my AMI named haraldgImg shows up in  the  "Storage" folder and I can mount it and browse through it, I  can  also see me gsg-keypair in the "Services/Keyairs" folder. My   problem is that in the "My Images" folder there is nothing. How  do  I get my AMI to show up here so that I can Launch it from its   context menu? I am using the head version of g-Eclipse.


PS: I send this to the dev list in case someone else is also try  it  out and have the same question.

Thanks,
Harald G.
