GEF 3.0 Installed but not in my plug-in list? [message #145632]

Fri, 30 July 2004 05:12

Eclipse User

Hi,

I've downloaded and installed the GEF 3.0 plugin using
Help->Software_Updates, without any problems.

I can see the plugins & features in my eclipse-3.0/features and
eclipse-3.0/plugins folders, and Eclipse says they are enabled.

When I list the plugins using Windows->Show_View->Plugins, the GEF plugin(s)
are not listed.

Additionally the GEF examples I'm trying to build cannot resolve their GEF
plugin dependency.

I'm new to eclipse and know I must be doing something wrong.

Any hints would be very wellcome.

Thanks, Steve.

I'm not sure what you mean by "extract it".

I'm using the eaclipse default workspace.

When I do this the dialogues location edit input is set to the default
"/local/apps/eclipse-3.0", and when I rescan I just get the default plugins
(84 of them) even though the sub-directories ./plugins and ./features
contain the standard plugins as well as the down loaded GEF plugins.

If they are not listed, how do you know they are enabled? I am assuming
you've already tried restarting Eclipse and that didn't do it either.

Updating classpath (right-click on plugin.xml, PDE Tools -> Update
classpath) doesn't fix it?

I've restarted eclipse (many times).

When I say the GEF plugins are enabled, I'm just going on the following:

If I look at Help->Software Update->Manage Configuration I see:

Graphical Editing Framework SDK 3.0.0
Graphical Editing Framework 3.0.0
Graphical Editing Framework Developer Resources 3.0.0

If I look at the status of each feature (in Show Properties) eclipse reports
"This feature is configured properly"

If I do this all I see in the dialogs "Available plugins and fragments list"
is:

X org.eclipse.gef.examples.logic (3.0.0)

This is the GEF example I'm trying to build.

I used Help->Software Updates->Find and Install... to download the GEF
plugins so I haven't seen any actual zip files to extract.

In my ./eclipse-3.0/plugins folder I have:

org.eclipse.gef_3.0.0/
org.eclipse.gef.doc.isv_3.0.0/
org.eclipse.gef.source_3.0.0/

In my ./eclipse-3.0/features folder I have:

org.eclipse.gef_3.0.0/
org.eclipse.gef.sdk_3.0.0/
org.eclipse.gef.source_3.0.0/

It's already enabled, so when I do this the only options available are:

Replace/Disable/Uninstall

I've tried Disable, restart, then Enable.

It works but makes no difference.

Steve.

Hi, me again.

Having failed to get GEF working using Help->Software_Updates, I've now
deleted all the GEF elements from my plugins & features folders.

From the site:

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/downloads/drops/R-3.0- 200406251257/index.php

I've downloaded all the GEF zip files.

Having unzipped:

GEF-runtime-3.0.zip
GEF-examples-3.0.zip

I restart eclipse and enable the GEF plugins using Help->Software
Update->Manage Configuration.

If I now restart eclipse, guess what, the GEF plugins are in my plugin list,
and the GEF logic example is no longer reporting a dependency problem.

This was not the case when I downloaded the plugins directly using the
"official" Help->Software_Updates method.

I'm new the eclipse so I will not investigate what's different when using
Help->Software_Updates but something is definitely amiss.

Onward and upward.

Cheers, Steve.

Steve,

Same thing happened to me: I am running a Eclipse 3.0 (same behaviour
with 3.1M1) on Linux GTK2.

I removed manually the folders downloaded using the Update features,
downloaded the zip and extracted them manually. It fixed the issue too.

I have downloaded other plugins and they do not seem to have the same
issue. This sounds GEF specific to me.

Cheers

This should be fixed in the latest integration build. If you have an older
Eclipse build, you can just delete those META-INF folders in the different
plug-ins.
