Sorry that this still isn't working for you. If you look at your error log (Window -> Show View -> Error Log), do you see any exceptions there? Also, which distribution of Eclipse are you using?

A clean install of Eclipse isn't required to install GEP; I was just worried that you were installing on top of a broken GEP installation.

Re: I installed the GEP and now...
If I get a spare time-slot I'll give it a go again, but as I said a couple of emails ago, I did that 2 days ago to remove the GEP after I needed to get rid of it. Therefore, the latest install *was* clean (apart from a few preferences I'd changed and importing my formatting settings. Windows was only re-installed from scratch about 4 weeks ago.

Hey Ian, If you're ok with reinstalling Eclipse, this is what I'd suggest: 1) Blow away your old version of Eclipse, and install a completely clean version of Eclipse 2) Start it up with a completely new workspace 3) Try to install the plugin as before, *BUT make sure you follow the instructions in this FAQ entry before hitting the install button: http://code.google.com/eclipse/docs/faq.html#longinstall* That should get you going, and completely past the hangs that happen in Eclipse 3.4 in the "Computing Requirements and Dependencies" step of the install process.

Re: I installed the GEP and now...
Update... I just uninstalled the GWT SDK, and then the plug-in and applied the changes. Both disappeared from the Installed Software tab. I restarted Eclipse. Now I have 'Google Plugin for Eclipse 3.4' on the Installed Software tab, but if I select it, the Uninstall button remains disabled. I also have 'Plugin' under Google Update Site for Eclipse 3.4 on the Available Software tab, but if I select it, the Install button remains disabled. I'm a bit stuck for options here.

Re: I installed the GEP and now...
Hey Ian, Just thought I'd mention that I tried something to repro your problem. Our plugin does not work if you're running Eclipse under a pre-1.5 JVM, and some of the symptoms that we've seen is that the plugin icons/menu contributions will not show up. However, we've only seen this when we've been using Eclipse's dev environment to debug the plugin. I tried to repro this by running clean Eclipse 3.3 and Eclipse 3.4 installs with a 1.4 JVM, but Eclipse did not even run - it threw up an error dialog indicating that a 1.5+ JVM is required. So, it looks like a pre-1.5 JVM cannot cause this sort of problem with the plugin out in the field.

Cancel didn't do anything (except disable the cancel button) and after some time - in the region of 30 minutes - I went back and nothing had changed. There was no option but to kill it in task manager. The second attempt of the current series, it installed in 30 seconds or so. I'm not sure exactly, I was watching TV, but it wasn't long at all. Now if I go to Software Updates, Installed Software shows the GEP and GWT SDK as installed. Available Software shows the plugin (but no install option is available) and the AppEngine SDK.

To reiterate, if you can start off with a clean Eclipse install and a clean workspace, and try to reinstall the plugin, that would be best. You can then re-import your existing project, but before doing that, we'll need to modify your .classpath and .project files to get rid of any existing plugin artifacts (really the references to the GWT and App Engine SDKs, and refrences to the GWT/App Engine natures and builders). > > Ian > > > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.

You might try starting Eclipse once with the "-clean" option. That helps sometimes with plugins that won't show up.

It does at least tell you that you did the 'proper' thing and therefore it should be working even if it isn't. But first there were errors downloading it, it just sat there working out dependencies. I left it for varying periods of up to an hour, but every time I had to kill it via Task Manager as Cancel didn't work (or hadn't atfer another hour). For example, in order to answer your questions, I have just tried to re-install the GEP and it hung the first time. It just sits there at 31%. On the first round of attempts, on about the 10th try, I left it overnight and in the morning after 8 hours it was still the same. On the second attempt (this time around), it installed (I think) but nothing shows up in the toolbar or on the menus despite restarting Eclipse, and then (when that didn't work) rebooting the computer. Under Software Updates it shows as installed, but there's nothing new in the IDE. And I know this version *can* at least show up because it did before I gave up on it and uninstalled it. Uninstalling left the classpath screwed up on my (previously working), and having fixed that, context assist went missing from Eclipse for all Google elements. Literally hours of faffing about later, I was back where I was before installing it, having had to wipe out and re-install Eclipse and still un-screw what the GEP had done to my project. Like I say, if I knew what I was doing, then it would not take so long, but who does when they are using something new. I dare say the instructions are fine were everything to install and work properly, I can't really say, having never got it to work - what I personally need is help when things don't work as per the instructions. Like now. The GEP is installed (apparently) but there are no icons in the toolbar or entries in the menus - and no instructions to help you out should that happen. If the GEP appears or if I have the time to uninstall/reinstall until it does, I will try to recreate what I did before so I can give proper details.

Right now, it limits you to the ones which you have registered with the workspace. So you should be able to add 1.6.2 to the workspace as Alex described and select that SDK version for use with your project. You can find out more information about how we support multiple versions of the SDK here: http://code.google.com/eclipse/docs/using_sdks.html . > > Anyway, here's the current state of play. > > > Compiling module com.roughian.rxframework.Module >Refreshing module from source > Validating newly compiled units > Removing units with errors > [ERROR] Errors in > 'file:/D:/work/gwt/workspace/Projects/RXFramework-1.6.1.0/src/com/roughian/rxframework/client/RemoteRequestCallback.java' >[ERROR] Line 11: No source code is available for type > com.google.gwt.json.client.JSONObject; did you forget to inherit a required > module? > [ERROR] Errors in > 'file:/D:/work/gwt/workspace/Projects/RXFramework-1.6.1.0/src/com/roughian/rxframework/client/RXF.java' >[ERROR] Line 73: No source code is available for type > com.google.gwt.json.client.JSONObject; did you forget to inherit a required > module? >[ERROR] Line 78: No source code is available for type > com.google.gwt.json.client.JSONValue; did you forget to inherit a required > module? >[ERROR] Line 81: No source code is available for type > com.google.gwt.json.client.JSONArray; did you forget to inherit a required > module? >[ERROR] Line 111: No source code is available for type > com.google.gwt.json.client.JSONBoolean; did you forget to inherit a required > module? >[ERROR] Line 124: No source code is available for type > com.google.gwt.json.client.JSONParser; did you forget to inherit a required > module? >[ERROR] Line 222: No source code is available for type > com.google.gwt.json.client.JSONNumber; did you forget to inherit a required > module? >[ERROR] Line 250: No source code is available for type > com.google.gwt.json.client.JSONString; did you forget to inherit a required > module? > Removing invalidated units > [WARN] Compilation unit > 'file:/D:/work/gwt/workspace/Projects/RXFramework-1.6.1.0/src/com/roughian/rxframework/client/RemotePageCallback.java' > is removed due to invalid reference(s): >[WARN] > file:/D:/work/gwt/workspace/Projects/RXFramework-1.6.1.0/src/com/roughian/rxframework/client/RemoteRequestCallback.java >[WARN] > file:/D:/work/gwt/workspace/Projects/RXFramework-1.6.1.0/src/com/roughian/rxframework/client/RXF.java > [WARN] Compilation unit > 'file:/D:/work/gwt/workspace/Projects/RXFramework-1.6.1.0/src/com/roughian/rxframework/client/RemoteRequestInfoCallback.java' > is removed due to invalid reference(s): >[WARN] > file:/D:/work/gwt/workspace/Projects/RXFramework-1.6.1.0/src/com/roughian/rxframework/client/RemoteRequestCallback.java >[WARN] > file:/D:/work/gwt/workspace/Projects/RXFramework-1.6.1.0/src/com/roughian/rxframework/client/RXF.java > [WARN] Compilation unit > 'file:/D:/work/gwt/workspace/Projects/RXFramework-1.6.1.0/src/com/roughian/rxframework/client/RemoteRequest.java' > is removed due to invalid reference(s): >[WARN] > file:/D:/work/gwt/workspace/Projects/RXFramework-1.6.1.0/src/com/roughian/rxframework/client/RemoteRequestCallback.java >[WARN] > file:/D:/work/gwt/workspace/Projects/RXFramework-1.6.1.0/src/com/rough
Re: I installed the GEP and now...
Ian, Which jars did you take off the classpath? The errors you're getting look like the compile step isn't getting the right jars on its cp. All you should have to do to use the GWT 1.6.2 SDK is set that under "Google > Web Toolkit" in your project's properties; manually changing the classpath really shouldn't be necessary.

Re: I installed the GEP and now...
Well, I took the 1.6.4 SDK out since I'm developing and don't want to find any nasty surprises. I added 1.6.2 via the GEP, took the jars off the classpath and now the compile gives me the errors below. It compiles from hosted mode OK No doubt there are plans for the future, but I'm wondering how much use the plugin would be to me right at the moment even it it were working. It's taken a lot of time to get to this point: it wouldn't download, then when it finally did, it wouldn't install, and now it's installed it doesn't work. That's probably my fault because I don't know what I'm doing, but surely if it worked before installing the plugin, it should work with the plugin. It's a valid project. Why doesn't it assume that I still want to use the version of the SDK that I was using before? Why would anyone want to have a different version, which might well have methods removed - even between a release candidate being a candidate for release and actually being released?

Re: I installed the GEP and now...
Hey Ian, If the plugin knows that you want to use GWT with your project, and you installed the bundled GWT SDK, then you can take the other GWT jars off your build path. Let us know if that fixes your problem?
