Missing oxygen menu and toolbar after installation

[Jesper]

Hi,

after installation I'm missing the menu oxygen in the top, also the toolbar. I can open the view and all windows seem to open correctly.

I've tried to delete the configuration folder but that did not help.

I also tried to enter my License key but following your help text, go to HELP->REGISTER... There is no register option under help menu...

Please advise!

All the best
Jesper (a licensed user)

I forgot to mention versions...

Eclipse 3.0

latest oxygen 4.2

sorry..

OK... I just degraged to jumbo dumbo...

I found it out myself.

The non existing error was caused by Eclipse extension handling...
XML and other files where all to be default handled by myeclipse and not OXYGEN. After resetting all extensions to correct default handler (oxygen) everyhting runs smooth now.

But I haven't found how to register, yet....

Hi Jesper,

If you used oXygen 4 before, either the standalone or the Eclipse plugin on that machine then it is automatically registered. The licensing information is stored in the user options to allow oXygen to find them automatically and avoid requesting registration if a new distribution is used or a new maintenance release is installed.

Best Regards,
George

I also had the problem of myEclipse overriding the associations establlished by OxygenXml. Thanks for the solution. And now, for eclipse newbies like me, here are the steps to correcting the problem:

1. Pick menuitem Window|preferences
2. On the prefs dialog, select workbench|file associations
3. In the filetypes pane, select *.xml
4a. If Oxygn XML Editor is already in the Associated editors list pane,
something other than oxygen not being defined as an xml editor
is causing your problem.
4b. If If Oxygn XML Editor is NOT in the Associated editors list pane,
click the Add... button to the right of the Assoc. Editors pane,
and on the associated Editor selection Dialog, selectOxygn XML Editor
and hit OK. You should see Oxygn XML Editor has been added to
the list.
5. Boot eclipse, and xml files should now be accessible to Oxygen.

I posted a note to mySql, asking them not to remove Oygen from the editors list for xml file extensions.

Sorry, I should have tested the 'fix' more thoroughly before I posted.

After adding Oxygen XML Editor to the associated editors list, there was no
change in the editor toolbar. So, I booted eclipse and sure enough the
oygen xml editor icons appeared. At his time I posted my previous 'steps
to fix the problem' note.

Then I tried to validate my xml file. To my surprise, NO 'Document is valid'
message appeared in the status bar, and no errors were posted.

So, I closed the file in the editor, re-opened it, and the problem is back,
no oygen xml editor icons in the toolbar. Boot of eclipse does not fix the
problem, but Oxygen is still in the assoc editors list for *.xml.

Does anybody know what the problem might be?

Hi Bill,

Have you checked the Error Log view ? Maybe there is some exception logged there.

Thanks for your suggestions folks - the problem was that I needed to change the default editor for xml back to oxygen. That was easily done with the Default button on the Prefs diagalog workbench| file associations.

Just having the oxygen editor in the list was not enough.

I assumed that installing one plugin would not affect the other plugins.

Live and learn.
