Thanks for the tips. I couldn't figure out anything from looking at the Logs or config details and just decided to start over. I finally got it working. I isolated the problem to me having installed EMF by downloading the 'All in one SDK' package, and then unzipping it into Eclipse rather than using the Update Manager.
To fix it, I reinstalled Eclipse clean, and used the Update Manager to install EMF. After that the UIMA plugins worked great. I must say, this can be attributed to not following instructions to the book. The instructions on the Apache UIMA site do mention using the Update Manager to install EMF. In my haste I decided to download and install EMF separately. Who would have thought that would make a difference. -Girish -----Original Message----- From: Marshall Schor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 10:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Trouble getting CDE and JCasGen plugins to work under Eclipse Europa The most likely causes of this problem is that your Eclipse doesn't have the required other plugins that the CDE depends on, installed and working. It depends on EMF and also on the JCasGen plugin (part of the UIMA plugin set). If you're running Eclipse 3.3 level, it has a new view where you can see issues like this, which may help. THe view is under the menu: Window-> show view -> other, and then in the PDE Runtime -> Plug-in Registry You should see entries for: org.apache.uima.desceditor org.apache.uima.jcas.jcasgenp If you expand the "+" sign to the left (by clicking on it), you should see Prerequisites line which can be expanded to show the prerequisites. I think some kind of red-colored error indicator will show up here if the prerequisite can't be found. If this helps you, please post again what the problem turned out to be, and how you fixed it, for others' benefits :-) -Marshall Schor Chavan, Girish wrote: > The CDE Plugin isn't an option when I try to choose an editor to open > the descriptor files.
