Problem with Eclipse add-in
« on: December 09, 2008, 08:05:57 pm »
Hello,

I try to use the Eclipse add-in but the 'Eclipse Connections' dialog stays totally empty.
I run EA 7.1.832, a trial version (29 days) of the MDG Link for Eclipse and Eclipse 3.4.0 on the same windows xp machine.
I am not sure of the 'Eclipse Options':
  • path to eclipse: C:\other-programs\eclipse\3.4.0\eclipse.exe
  • command line parameters: -vmargs -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX: PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M
  • windows: checked
  • other: unchecked
  • prefix: empty
  • project: u:\swdev\cpp
  • path separator: \
  • host: localhost
U:\swdev\cpp is the path of the Eclipse workspace. The project to be referred to is located in another folder, on the same machine. I can edit this project with the alone Eclipse without any problem.
When I select Add-Ins / Connect External Projects / Eclipse in EA, I get an empty 'Eclipse Connections' dialog box and its Connect button gets disabled after 2 sec.

Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance,
Dams

I remarked 10 min ago that the Eclipse Add-In supports software engineering only for Java.  :'(
I tried to run the add-in with a CDT-Eclipse installation (C/C++ Development Toolkit). Is it the explanation?

Yes, that would be it.

Support for a number of additional languages for Eclipse Link is currently being worked on.
