"Download and Install" fails, and hoses eclipse for plugin development ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMODEVTOOLS-334 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS-334 Project: Geronimo-Devtools Issue Type: Bug Components: eclipse-plugin Affects Versions: 2.1.0 Environment: windows Reporter: Ted Kirby Assignee: Tim McConnell Fix For: 2.1.0 Following instructions for http://geronimo.apache.org/developing-the-geronimo-eclipse-plugin-in-eclipse.html, I launched the plugin, defined a server, and used the download and install button to download the server. In the launching eclipse, I got these messages: org.eclipse.wst.server.core EXTENSION 22/04/08 12:13.18.531 Loaded installableRuntime: org.apache.geronimo.runtime.jetty.21 org.eclipse.wst.server.core

org.eclipse.jface.operation.ModalContext$ModalContextThread.run(ModalContext.java:113) In the error log, I got five occurrences of this message: Unable to find feature.xml in directory: D:\gdvtls\eclipse-plugin\trunk\features\pom.xml, for NOTICE, LICENSE, .svn and bigG.gif. This freezes the eclipse window. So, I shut it down. Then, when I try to relaunch it, I got the dreaded unable to save configuration file! which means I cannot launch the plugin, per step 6 of the aforementioned instructions. I have not found a reliable way to recover from this dreaded error. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
