[Stephen McConnell]

I had a problem the first time I attempted an install of MyEclipseIDE 8.0 on OS X. It had problems launching Pulse and installing it. It required the update of the MyEclipseIDE profile for 7.5. Since I had not installed 7.5, it said it could not find a lot of files to install.

So, I downloaded 7.5, installed it and it 7.5 installed perfectly.

Then, I downloaded 8.0 for the Mac OS X and attempted to install it.

it gets about 1/2 way through the Installing Pulse and hangs…. It has been hanging for several hours.

The Apple Log has the following entry.

Any idea on what is wrong. I had no problem installing MyEclipseIDE 8.0 on my Windows computer even though I didn’t have 7.5 on it.

I am using the

myeclipse-8.0M1.macosx.tgz file that I downloaded for a complete stack install for the Mac OS X install.

Stephen,
We have found that some of the GZIPped TAR extraction program (The Unarchiver) doesn’t handle long filenames/pathnames appropriately. Can you use the command line to extract the installer (and use the built-in OS X extraction utility) and check if that helps.

[Stephen McConnell]

the command

tar -xvf myeclipse-8.0M1-macoxs.tgz untarred and unzipped the file, extracting it fully.

I ran the myeclipse-8-latest-installer and it STILL hangs.

Why would the version 8 installer hang when I used the Mac Stuffit program on 7.5 and it worked and installed correctly……

I still have a problem on 8.0….

Hey? Can I upgrade to 8.0 from my 7.5 installation via the upgrade process there?

[rgunn]

I have also experienced your issue as well – installer hangs half way through “Preparing installer components”….

you should be able to install using this method also:

To Install Using Eclipse Update Site: be sure Eclipse 3.5 “Classic” is installed . Start Eclipse > Select Help > Software Updates > Available Software Tab > Add Site > Enter this URL http://downloads.myeclipseide.com/downloads/products/eworkbench/galileo/enterprise-latest
From there you just “Next” your way through the wizard and MyEclipse will be installed for you.

Make sure its eclipse 3.5 not 3.5.1. If its consistent you should receive an error as I did about Visual Swing Designer dependancies which you can deselect from the list of items to install. I’d be interested to know how you go. I tested this under both the 32 bit and 64 bit version of eclipse 3.5

8M1 seems to be a bit of a shambles. I dont know if its just under OS X, but every method of install has had problems….and wastes our time.

Disappointed as we need the newer version to fix serious refactoring, search & replace bugs under MyEclipse 7.5

[Stephen McConnell]

I downloaded the full stack for MyEclipse 7.5 and installed it. It appears that it uses Eclipse 3.4.xx Ganymede as it’s base, because the update site points to the Ganymede discovery area.

I don’t know about the support here for the Mac on the 8.0 upgrade… I have a Windoz machine, a Linux machine and my Mac. The Linux and WIndoz machines have no problems installing. The Mac is a mess. I’ll work with 7.5 until the problem is fixed, but after having let my subscription lapse because MyEclipse didn’t support all its features on the Mac, this comes as a further dissappointment.

But if this is the case, why does 7.5 install with no problems and 8.0 have problems. I used the above method and it didn’t work, also.

[Mork]

Watch out if you have Snow Leopard with MyEclipse 7.5. See the other postings on this.

[Stephen McConnell]

Luckily, I have not upgraded to Snow Leopard, yet, but I will have to read the posts.

Thanks.

[Mork]

For me, with Snow Leopards Java 1.6-ONLY JVM errors, MyEclipse would no longer debug and help would not work.

I’m using Intellij IDEA on the Mac side and still using MyEclipse on the Windows side.

I hope that someday they will come out with a Cocoa version of MyEclipse that actually works on the Mac as well as it does with Windows.

For me, the mac side had too many problems that weren’t being addressed, AFAIK, by Genuitec (like calling Apple, as an ISV, and getting to the bottom of things).

You cannot upgrade from 7.5 to 8.0 — there is no ugprade between major releases.

If you go to the /Library/Genuitec install dir and under /Pulse Explorer you should find the pulse-explorer executable you can run and then login Anonymously and see if you can see the “MyEclipse 8.x Latest (8.0M1)” profile under “My Profiles”, then you can right-click on it and select “Reinstall and Run” OR just “Install” if that’s all that’s enabled and see if that process works.

Have done that. under /Library/Pulse/pulse-explorer

seems like it didn’t configure correctly….. I will try to update pulse.

[rgunn]

hangs half way through Preparing Installer Components…

Support, have you confirmed this behaviour ? Is there a resolution ?

If I try and run pulse-explorer directly it crashes with the following

@rgunn…..

I don’t know if support needs to confirm the behavior. It happened.

However, I think that it occured because of a corrupted Pulse configuration when I attempted to update a total MyEclipse/Eclipse installation from version 6.0 to 8.0.
When I deleted the /Library/Pulse folder on the Mac and re-installed the Total Stack MyEclipse 8.0 from that configuration, then it worked.

For me, it’s fixed.

[rgunn]

thanks Stephen, worked as you suggested. The only version I had prior was 7.5 and that too must of had a corrupted pulse install. As I never did updates via pulse I never found out it was busted….

[support-joy]

Thank you Stephen.

rgunn, good to hear you are all set.
