Hi,

I installed Jupiter 3.5.1 on Eclipse 3.4.1 (Ganymede), following the
steps in section 2.2.2 of the Jupiter User Guide. There were no
errors. After re-starting Eclipse, I see no changes to the Eclipse
UI. There's no Review item in the package properties to create a
Review ID. No review or Jupiter items in any properties that I can
find. No Jupiter icon in the toolbar. No new editor right-click-menu
commands. Am I missing a step to "activate" the plug-in?

I tried un-installing and re-installing. I tried downloading the
edu.hawaii.ics.csdl.jupiter_3.5.1.jar file to the eclipse\plugins
folder. I tried some other perspectives. Eclipse Help -> Software
Updates says the plug-in is installed. I can see a filled
edu.hawaii.ics.csdl.jupiter_3.5.1 folder under eclipse\plugins. But
the plug-in doesn't seem to have integrated with Eclipse.

Does this symptom sound familiar? Is there a log somewhere that would
help debug the cause?

I have not used Jupiter before. Perhaps I missed something basic.

Thanks,

Hello,
Your installation sounds find to me. The only log file would be the
Eclipse log file. Is there anything about the plugin in your Error
Log view? If you want you can tell me what OS you're using and the
exact Eclipse bundle you downloaded and I can try to recreate this
problem. Let me know if you see anything in your Error Log view.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response.

Sorry, I should have mentioned the OS: Windows XP Professional with
SP3.

No Jupiter-related messages in the eclipse error log, although I do
have a few other error messages that I don't know how to clean up.

I noticed that un-installing the plugin did not remove the Jupiter
folder from the plugins and features folders. So I uninstalled the
plugin using Help -> Software Updates, stopped eclipse, manually
removed the edu.umd.cs.findbugs.plugin.eclipse_1.3.5.20080913 folders,
restarted eclipse, and re-installed from the
http://jupiter-eclipse-plugin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/site/web site.

This time I did see an installation error, both in a pop-up message
and in the eclipse error log:

An error occurred during provisioning.
Failed to prepare partial IU: [R]edu.hawaii.ics.csdl.jupiter
3.5.1.

I stopped eclipse, cleaned up the folders again, downloaded the
edu.hawaii.ics.csdl.jupiter_3.5.1.jar file from
http://code.google.com/p/jupiter-eclipse-plugin/downloads/list, placed
it in the plugins directory, and re-started eclipse. This time I got
the following error in the eclipse error log:

The artifact file for edu.hawaii.ics.csdl.jupiter/osgi.bundle/3.5.1
was not found.

I'll do some internet searching tomorrow when I have more time, but I
thought I'd forward a progress report...

Cheers,
Bart

Hello again,
I have not seen those errors before I'm afraid.  I'll try out the installation on my Ganymede again later.  Let me know if you find anything interesting.  I normally install from the update site without a problem.  I sometimes forget to test dropping the jar into my installation so if that has issues I wouldn't be that surprised.

Hi Julie,

Don't spend a lot of time on it. It seems to be a problem only with
my particular system. A couple of other people here were able to
install Jupiter with no problem, on similar configurations. Perhaps my
eclipse is damaged. I'll re-install eclipse or upgrade to 3.4.2 next
week, when time allows.

Thanks,
Bart
