Vlad,

After a few iterations what worked for me was:

I created a NEW Eclipse 3.3.2, set it to a new, empty workspace, installed the 0.3.45 plugin and did not reboot immed, but set ERL_TOP, then restarted Eclipse.

The existing Eclipse 3.3.2's were toast. I could not use the previous workspace with an existing project in it otherwise Eclipse would not restart to even let me select a NEW workspace. So, like you said, create a new workspace before progressing. FYI The log file did say it could not open the workspace (!) odd seeing as it never asked me yet - I put that down to a problem in Eclipse being exposed by my order of install.

I will need to to more checks, but the edit window is now colour coded, the compiler immediately and automatically showed errors in my .erl file I imported before I imported a dependent .hrl and then it was happy. The overview works too and it appears to see my Eshell V5.6.1 in the console which to me means R12B-1!

Many thanks Vlad for replying so promptly. I will plough on now and see how I get on. I consider getting Erlang into Eclipse a most impressive feat. Please do not consider my first comment as a complaint, it was really to show that I had persevered with the previous versions but now had come to a impasse. I am an old VMS/ OpenVMS deep level engineer in real time high availability plumbing, so Erlang is my kind of thing.

Looking forward to seeing even more improvements!

Timbeau.

Sorry about that. Current versions are much better and more
improvements are being implemented as we speak.

Therefore I have installed a new 3.3.2 Eclipse, new R12B-1, new 0.3.45 Erlide. I set my ERL_TOP (I was not asked this when I rebooted Eclipse btw)

Yes, there is no longer a dialog popping up. Now Eclipse works even if
the configuration is missing or wrong (just the Erlang functionality
is not there, of course). I feel this is a more friendly behaviour (it
allows you to save your work if anything goes wrong with the Erlang
backend).

to /opt/erlang and still nothing. I suspected it was the wrong level in that
tree, so I repointed it to /opt/erlang/lib/erlang

The right level is so that you can find bin/erl and bin/erlc and the
lib directory just beneath it.

Now my Eclipse will not even get to the point to ask me where my workspace
might be before crashing out!

Could you please create a new workspace,
reconfigure ERL_TOP,
edit your eclipse.ini file (in the eclipse directory) to include a row
saying -Derlide.logger.level=debug,
restart
and if it doesn't go well send me the .metadata/.log file?


regards,
Vlad
