I installed the CDT platform and related tools into a Linux All-in-one version of MyEclipse 8.5. The CDT platform and tools are visible in the Personal Software section of the Add/Remove software panel but there is no CDT perspective and no views that allow me to access the platform.
I tried to install the CDT manually, using the CDT download tar ball, but the new organization of myeclipse files makes it impossible to know where to deploy the plugins, etc. I tried extracting the CDT files to the myeclipse folder that the MyEclipse installer created but that doesn’t work. I was fearful about extracting to the pulse explorer or common folders that were created by the myeclipse installer in the root/ folder, because the CDT package includes config files of the same names as myeclipse uses.
Why does the software show up as being installed but is not usable in myeclipse? The new pulse deployer seems to be in the way from being able to manually deploy anything inside of myeclipse. I have posted before about this new pulse deployer and I am losing faith in Genuitec’s ability to keep eclipse an open platform. It appears that I am getting locked into capabilities that Genuitec chooses and this is making MyEclipse much less appealing to me and I am very close to pulling away from it, instead of bringing it to the rest of my team.
rcoe67,
Can you answer few queries for me to investigate this issue further –
1. Can you copy and paste your installation details? Open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details
2. How did you install CDT plugin? Can you share the weblink? Also include the steps in detail
3. Have you verified that the version of CDT plugin installed is compatible to that of base eclipse 3.5.2? MyEclipse 8.5 is based on eclipse 3.5.2 classic
4. You mention manual install. Can you elaborate more on this. In case you have plugins of CDT, please clarify if you have copied the same to [your MyEclipse installation dir]/dropins/plugins and restarted the IDE?Thank you.
