Oxygeneditor not registered/not visible in Eclipse 3.2

Post by **patric** » Fri Jun 01, 2007 12:58 pm

I try to install Oxygen 8.2 on Eclipse 3.2, with jdk 6, Windows XP

I copied the file underneath the eclipse directory, I and see in the explorer the Plugin and the Features directories of com.oxygeneditor...

Yet, it seems not to register in eclipse. I don't get any entries in Eclipse.

Is there a log or something typical that I have could have done wrong?

thanks in advance,

patric

Hello,

What do you mean copied the file underneath the eclipse directory? Did you unzip the zip archive containing the oXygen plugin in the Eclipse directories? Does the plugins\com.oxygenxml.editor_8.2.0 directory contain a plugin.xml file? Do you have an oXygen entry in the Window -> Preferences dialog? Does the Error Log view contain an entry about the com.oxygenxml.editor plugin?

Sorin

Hello,

Did you try the standard method of installing an Eclipse plugin, that is the Update Site method?

Hi,

I have the exact same problem. I have tried both the manual and the update site installation. Eclipse has no notion of the plugin (don't see any reference to oXygen).

I am running Eclipse 3.2 (EPF)

Before i had oXygen 7.2 installed and that worked. I did uninstall the oXygen 7.2 installation from the plugin/features directories.

Any clues?

Tx.,

Raphael

Did you uninstall by manually deleting the oXygen subfolders of the plugins and features folders? You should uninstall the plugin from menu Help -> Software Updates -> Manage Configuration, right click on the oXygen entry and run the Uninstall action as specified in the User Manual.

If there are no other versions of the plugin already installed (in the Enabled or Disabled state) then any version starting with 7.2 can be installed in Eclipse 3.2.x. We checked that already. Before version 7.2 you had to use Eclipse 3.1 or older.

Is there an error message displayed in the Error Log view or in the Update Site installation wizard when you try to install the oXygen plugin?

Sorin,

Well i did indeed not followed the uninstall procedure from the manual. I first reinstalled oXygen 7.2 in order to uninstall it as described in the manual and then installed 8.2, but didn't work again.

I have tried different scenarios (using JDK 6, disabling en enabling, removing the com.oxygen directory from my HOME/APP.

The log states:

Code: Select all

!CONFIGURATION 1181902725312 Fri Jun 15 12:18:45 CEST 2007

!ACTIVITY 1181902725187 Jun 15, 2007 12:18:45.187 com.oxygenxml.editor_8.2.0 feature-enable success

And the Eclipse Product configuration tells me the status property of oXygen XML editor is "The feature is configured properly".

There is no reference in Eclipse about oXygen (not in the menu, not in the options nor anywhere else...)

Tx.,

It is possible to have a corrupt Eclipse configuration. Uninstall any oXygen plugin version, close Eclipse, remove the content of [Eclipse-install-folder]/configuration and keep only the config.ini file, restart Eclipse and try again to install the oXygen plugin.

Hi,

I have tried to install oXygen into a clean eclipse environment, but still i don't see oXygen anywhere in eclipse. Perhaps there is some dependency missing?

I am running EPF.

Any other toughts?

Hello,

I see that EPF does not include the org.eclipse.osgi and org.eclipse.ui.browser plugins. These plugins are required for the oXygen plugin so the oXygen plugin cannot work in EPF.

If i add Java to the eclipse environment would that include these required libraries

(btw shouldn't the update show which libraries it needs

)

Post by **sorin_ristache** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 2:41 pm

No, the JDT does not include these plugins. They are core Eclipse SDK plugins which are not included in Eclipse EPF.

The Eclipse update installation does not show the required libraries of a plugin. It shows only the features of the installed plugin.
