Can't get VE to work on MacOS X [message #51161] Wed, 21 July 2004 14:00 Go to next message

Originally posted by: matuszek.central.cis.upenn.edu

I'm using MacOS X 10.3.4 (Panther), Java 1.4.2. Since I haven't been able
to get VE to work,
I tried a clean reinstall.

I created a new directory containing these files:
eclipse-SDK-3.0-macosx-carbon.tar.gz
emf-sdo-runtime-2.0.0.zip
xsd-runtime-2.0.0.zip
GEF-runtime-3.0.zip
VE-runtime-S20040628.zip

I unstuffed eclipse-SDK-3.0-macosx-carbon.tar.gz, started it (just to be
sure it was OK)
and quit it again.

I unstuffed the other four files, moved all features and plugins to the
corresponding
Eclipse features and plugins directories (must be done manually on the
Mac), and started
Eclipse again.

I switched to the Java view, created a Java project, went to New->Visual
Class where I entered
a name, package name, and asked for a main method. This fails, and the log
file contains:

Internal Error
org.eclipse.jdt.ui
Jul 21, 2004 13:40:59.566

SyntaxError: The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved. It is
indirectly referenced from required
class files
org.eclipse.ve.java.core
Jul 21, 2004 13:40:59.566

Can anyone tell from this what I'm doing wrong? Or does VE just not work
yet on a Mac?
If you can help, THANKS!

David,

The VE doesn't run on OS X yet. Add yourself to the CC list on this bug
for updates on this front:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=47716

Looks like it's going to be a while:

---------
Note that the main reason for the delay on the Mac OS is that we need
to dive into Carbon code to figure out how to screen scrape images -
any help will be appreciated. We have just finished this effort with
GTK, and would work on Motif support next. ... Carbon is definitely
on the list.
---------

Also, the bug is listed as an "enhancement" problem. On the bugilla
pecking order, Enhancement is below Trivial.
