Re: [ptp-dev] Experiences installing PTP

The question about the TAU error I think Wyatt needs to answer.
Yes the PLDT toolbar icon is probably in the other perspectives too. I need to fix that. Thanks for reminding me. It won't hurt anything, however.

Hi Beth

Thanks much for the reply.

I've got a couple of other questions for the group.

I just started up my eclipse installation and I got the attached error 
message as seen in Picture 1.png: Has anyone else seen this? I've seen 
this a couple of times now. I'm not trying to do anything with TAU at 
the moment so, I'm not sure how big of a deal this is.

Another strange thing: I opened the java perspective to work on a .xsd 
file.  I noticed that I still have a tool in this perspective that looks 
like it may have come from ptp.  I'm not an experienced Eclipse user, so 
I'm not sure if I'm it's ok to just delete this from my java 
perspective. It's in Picture 2.  Doesn't seem to be doing any harm, but 
I thought it might be worth mentioning.

Thanks
Howard
