Hi,
I’m evaluating the possibility of migrating from RAD7 to MyEclipse Blue. The issue is that we have a huge amount of Swing classes developed with the RAD Visual Editor and I’ve not found any easy way to open them in MyEclipse.In fact, I’ve even tried to install the Eclipse Visual Editor plug-in, http://wiki.eclipse.org/VE/Installing, but I’ve completely failed.
Do you know how I could proceed? … I don’t know if converting them to Matisse would be possible, because we have some home-made components.
thks.
steixido,
I’ll let the dev team know about the VE Edtior issue so that they can investigate this issue. I haven’t worked with this pulgin so cant help you with this.steixido,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. the VE project was ended in 2006 and the last compatible release is for Eclipse 3.2. MyEclipse 7.0 Blue currently ships ontop of Eclipse 3.4 and it is not possible to install VE along side it.
Additionally there is no way to convert VE user interfaces into Matisse4MyEclipse-friendly formats I’m sorry to say. For maintenence of the forms you could keep an Eclipse 3.2+VE install around or keep a RAD install around — I can’t really offer you a solution for the VE forms in MyEclipse Blue.

WOW, I’m surprised about that. Because I’ve been able to install the VE on an Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede. It’s as easy as unziping the files available at http://www.ehecht.com/eclipse_ve/ve.html into the dropins folder of the eclipse.
It seems that someone stills working on it and it’s much better that the on available in the RAD7.At least, do you know if you will support the new way of installing plug-ins through the dropins folder of the Ganymede? …. perhaps that would be enough!

And ME 7 Blue will not import RAD7 projects so you’re out of luck there, too.
well… not *yet* it won’t… 😉

we are going to be pushing out an update to MyEclipse 7.0 in the beginning of February that will add-back support for the /dropins folder so you’d be free to try dropping it in… if it works in Ganymede it should work just fine in ME 7.0 actually.
So, I’ll wait until the next update and check again.
Perhaps we are too brave or to naive, but I think that we will be able to recreate our RAD7 projects in MyEclipse.
Thanks for you support.

Actually if you wait for the 7.1 release you won’t have to for most default project types… we will offer an automatic migration for you, for default-laid-out projects. If they are severly custom with tons of modules, the migration may not like that… but you could give it a try. The release will be in February.

Just an update. I’ve managed to install the VE to the MyEclipse blue 7.0 using the update site available at:
http://update.soyatec.org/Ganymede/ve/1.4/For more info you can check at: http://wiki.eclipse.org/VE/Update
I hope it may help someone!
