HOW TO SOLVE JBOSS TOOLS ECLIPSE ERROR

[taysay]

Hi All,
Pls does anyone have a clue towards the solution to this problem.

Could not create the view: org/eclipse/wst/server/ui/internal/view/servers/ServerAction

encountered while launching Eclipse on mac os x leopard

[nickboldt]

More details please:

OS X version (10.5.?)
Java version (5.0.? 6.0.?)
Eclipse version (3.3.2/Europa? 3.4.2/Ganymede? 3.5.0/Galileo?)
JBoss Tools version (2.x? 3.x?)

Also, how did you install? unpacking zips into eclipse dir? unpacking zips into dropins dir? installed via update site (recommended method)?

OS X 10.5.6
Java 5
Eclipse 3.3.2 (3.4.2/Ganymede)
JBoss Tools version (2.1.1.GA)
unpacking zips into dropins dir

Thank you

Couple problems spring to mind immediately:

a) There's a 2.1.2 available, you should use that instead if you're using Eclipse 3.3.2 (Europa).

b) If you're on 3.4.2 (Ganymede), then you should be using JBoss Tools 3.0.0; 2.1.2 won't run on 3.4.2.

Note also that the dropins dir is only supported in Eclipse 3.4.2 and beyond, so if you're using that dir for Eclipse 3.3.2, it won't work. Unpack into eclipse root folder instead.

Because of the way that p2 works when discovering/installing plugins, you're actually better off to use the Update feature in Eclipse to install JBoss Tools than to download the zip(s) and unpack them into dropins. You'll get better performance from Eclipse on startup too.
