Eclipse: Plug-In problems

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using Python(x,y) ver 2.6 on Vista and I tried playing around with Eclipse.
But when I tried to do like the screenshot at
http://www.pythonxy.com/_images/Eclipse%20-%20Pydev/Pydev1.png , I didn't
have any pydev project accessible.

In fact, it seems the installation of Eclipse is buggy.
Lately, I found some things interesting in the error log (attached)
It seems eclipse can't find the "plug-in" directory.
Maybe i made something wrong during installation process.

I'm sorry if it's not the right place to talk about this problem.

It's the right place to report this kind of problem, so thank you for this bug 
report.

If some Eclipse plugins weren't installed properly, you should not be able to 
see
them in the "Software updates" menu which list all installed plugins (please 
check if
Pydev is mentioned there).

Now, the screenshot you're referring to may not be up-to-date, so you may have 
to
first select "new project" and then choose between all kinds of project that 
Eclipse
support (there should be a "Pydev" submenu in which you can pick "Pydev 
project").
I'll have to check this later because I don't have Python(x,y) installed on my
machine here.

What kind of installation did you choose:
- all users/current user?
- custom directories? (if so, what is the Eclipse directory?)
- what Eclipse plugins did you choose to install?

So I checked my Eclipse installation:
-no plugin installed in the "Installed Software" tab
-I can see pydev (pydev.sourceforge.net/updates) in the "Available Software" tab
 "I tried to install it but the process end prematurely because:
 An error occurred during provisioning.
  Error reading signed content.
  The file "C:\Program
Files\pythonxy\eclipse\pluging\org.eclipse.platform.doc.user_3.4.0.v20080612-134
0.jar" does
not exist"

 Also I saw that pydev plugin needs Mylyn so I tried to install it but, I got some
problems:
Unsatisfied dependency: [org.eclipse.mylyn.pde_feature.feature.group
3.0.3.v20081015-1500-e3x] 
requiredCapability: 
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu/org.eclipse.pde.feature.group/[3.4.0,4.0.0)
and a lot of the same types concerning other components:
osgi.bundle/org.eclipse.jdt.junit/
org.eclipse.jdt.core

Concerning the screenshot, i still don't have any possibility after choosing 
"new
project". It just creates an empty project.

About the installation:
-if i well remember I choose for all users
-i used defaut directories and the first time I launched Eclipse, it asked me 
where
to save my preferences/workbench and the default path was in "My Documents"
So I have a C:\Users\Alban\.eclipse\org.eclipse.platform_3.4.0_709764750 
directory
(and as I was navigating through I saw files concerning Pydev an Mylyn...)
-no other plugin installed

Hope all this informations were interesting and ask me if you need specific
informations, files, log.

Wow, apparently, everything went wrong during Eclipse installation! I've never 
seen
any of this even when testing beta versions of the installer.

"the first time I launched Eclipse, it asked me where to save my 
preferences/workbench"
In fact, it should have configured this automatically (you may have notice that 
the
Python(x,y) installer asked you the same question).

Honestly, I don't have any clue... Have you administrative rights on your 
machine?

Anyway, the fact is that the installer didn't configure Eclipse at all. Perhaps 
could
you check if 'Pydev' was installed (-> look for it in Add/Suppress programs, 
with the
"Show updates" option checked, among the Python(x,y) plugins -- or run 
'Python(x,y)'
GUI frontend and look for it in the 'About' tab).

In any case, you should try to uninstall everything and reinstall again. 
Eventually
try to install in another drive if you are not sure to have full administrative 
rights.

Finally, I reinstall completely Python(x,y) and all looks good so far :)
I think I have made a mistake during the installation process that causes all 
this
problems. (Usually problems come from the user)

Besides, thanks for the support and this great package Python(x,y).
Sincerely, Alban
