An error occurred when activating this view

I've got the Eclipse plugin working fine except that Eclipse bleats constantly with the message:

"An error occurred when activating this view"

There is nothing in the Eclipse error log. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

We have no record of a similar problem but this may be due to the short time since the 2.0.4 release is available. It would be helpful if you can provide more information like:
- eclipse version including build number (Help->About Eclipse Platform).
- operating system (version, service pack if available).
- java version used to run eclipse.

Thank you,
George

Hi,

I got the exact same problem as soon as I installed the xml libraries included with JWSDP 1.2 into my Java runtime's lib/endorsed folder (as recommended by the JWSDP installation docs). Apparently, the Xerces implementation packaged with the Oxygen plugin (lib/xercesImpl.jar) is a newer version, and Oxygen won't work properly with older versions. I fixed the problem by replacing my <JRE>/lib/endorsed/xercesImpl.jar with the one included within the Oxygen plugin files. Works fine, so far.

Windows 2000 Service Pack 4
JDK 1.4.2_01
Eclipse 2.1.1
