The preferences for the xdoclet runtime does not point to a valid installation [message #198198]

Hi,

despite of what I do, I keep getting this nasty error making me mad. I
have all the latest and greatest (stable) releases, yet still I keep
getting this error.

What I have done so far without success:

1. right click on the project
2. properties
3. xdoclet
4. uncheck "use global xdoclet"
5. uncheck "enable xdoclet builder"

=> result: I still get the error

this is how my org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.ejb.annotations.xdoclet.prefs file for
the project looks like after disabling the builder:

------CUT------
#Tue Aug 14 12:21:16 CEST 2007
XDOCLETBUILDERACTIVE=false
XDOCLETHOME=/usr/bestsolution/lib/java/xdoclet-1.2.3
XDOCLETUSEGLOBAL=false
XDOCLETVERSION=1.2.3
eclipse.preferences.version=1
------CUT------

Then I tried to globally disable the builder via the global preferences,
but still no success.

To make it even worse, I even have a valid xdoclet 1.2.3 installation
available (and have of course specified once for the project and
globally), but the error still keeps nagging me ...

any ideas?

I got the same problem and i did download xdoclet 1.2.3 from sourceforge and made available to eclipse and enabled it globally. than i cleaned the selected project and build it. The problem got resolved.
