I have for sometime (various versions of MyEclipse) found that the XML Editor in design view is really unusable.

First of all it doesn’t refresh, so if I use the arrow keys to scroll down the various key I will find that the value associated with the key will disappear and then not reappear until I do something that causes a refresh.

Secondly it often seems to lock Eclipse completely.

While I am an OSX user I have also found this to be the case on windoze.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Q, admitedly it isn’t one of the most used features so we don’t get any bug reports about it. I will file your findings for investigation however and see if we can track down what is going on.

Is there any update on this?

[Riyad Kalla]

Q,
We did find some shortcommings with the behaviors and have planned updates for *all* the editors for our 5.0 release, however for 4.0 we were heads-down for months on pre-determine features and bugfixes while other lower priority items didn’t make the cut. I appologize for the delay.

I’m getting the following error when trying to edit any .xml file:
“Unable to create editor. This message may be due to a bug in the editor, not a problem with the file you are trying to edit. First close this error message and then use “Open With…” to open the file in a different editor. Reason for the failure: An error has occurred when initializing the input for the the editor’s source page.”
Help!

[Riyad Kalla]

First, you help us!

Can you please post all the information we request in the [URL=http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-393.html]Posting Guidelines[/URL] thread at the top of this forum? That will give us some context so that we can determine if this is an installation issue, a configuration problem, or a bug. Thanks.

org.xmen is not part of MyEclipse and was removed back in the 3.7 build series, the fact that it is showing up in your stack trace means either you have it installed and are trying to open your XML files with a different editor instead of “MyEclipse XML Editor” OR you have many old versions of MyEclipse installed ontop of eachother.

Quick way is to right click on the XML file, choose “Open With” and “MyEclipse XML Editor”, if that doesn’t work, I suggest a clean install of Eclipse 3.0.2 and MyEclipse 3.8.4 if you don’t need Java 5 functionality. If you need Java 5 functionality, then Eclipse 3.1M7 and the respective Beta release of MyEclipse (although there are anumber of known bugs).
