Problems in Eclipse 3.1 M5

[ksader]

I've got oxygen 5.0 installed just fine, but I run into issues opening .xml files. I'm running JDK 1.5.

It starts with a dialog that says
"Unable to create part"

After *that* useful message, I get the following stack trace in my .log

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui.workbench 4 2 2005-04-08 10:26:30.297

Hi Keith,

One observation: the latest version of oXygen is 5.1, not 5.0.
From the stack trace it seems a conflict with another Xerces. Please make sure you did not set Xerces as an endorsed library for the Java you use to run Eclipse.

Best Regards,
George

Sorry, I am running 5.1. That's the version that's plugged into eclipse.

I don't think I've set Xerces as an endorsed library. Where would I find that?

thanks,
Keith Sader.

To find the endorsed folder go to Help->About Eclipse platform and choose the Configuration Details option. There look for the java.endorsed.dirs entry, its value points to the endorsed folder.

Best Regards,
George
