I use a fresh installation of Eclipse Europa (with JDK 6.0), and of SDE 4.1 Community Edition. Installation was so far without problems, but at the start-up I see the attached errors in the log file. And SDE is then not available in Eclipse. Are there any ideas, how to solve the problem?

Different environment though: - openSUSE 10.2, Java 1.5.0\_12 - Eclipse Version: 3.3.0, Build id: I20070621-1340 - SDE for Eclipse Enterprise Edition 4.1 sp1\_20071003 After running $VP\_Install/launcher/VP\_Suite\_Update SDE simply wouldn’t start - no log file, no error message. Before getting into strace and other serious debugging, I ran $VP\_Install/bin/VP\_Suite as if you’d do for (re-)install. After clicking through all dialog options and watching a (too-fast-to-decipher) file-copy-popup - voila, SDE started again. ---

Hi vobu, Thank you for your post. VP Suite Update is for updating the installation. It is not for starting SDE. To start SDE, you need to install it first by running VP Suite, and then start SDE by running the launcher inside the launchers folder. Best regards, Jick ---

[/quote] Sorry, I probably wasn’t clear enough in my last post: I used ```auto $VP_Install/launcher/VP_Suite_Update ``` for updating the SDE installation. After the update completed, SDE wouldn’t start anymore; like Karl99X posted above. After running ```auto $VP_Install/bin/VP_Suite ``` and clicking through the dialogs, SDE started again. ---

Hi nicolab80, Thank you for your post. Could you try selecting a Java project first, then right-click on it and select Open SDE-EC from the popup menu? If this doesn’t work, please let me know what will appear on the screen (e.g. Gray screen? Nothing happens?). I would be grateful if you could send me some screenshots as well. Finally, please send me the vp.log file which could be found at ${VP-SUITE-INSTALL-DIR}/bin We look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Jick ---

The same problems. My conffiguration is: - Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy gibbon) - Eclipse 3.3.1 (with: Java, Ruby, C/C++ IDEs) - JRE 1.5 and 6 (no difference in Eclipse tragic behavior) Just after installation Eclipse started and a splash screen of SDE-EC appeared. Then, I tried to select “Open SDE-EC” from context menu of my Java project (existing one) and I’ve obtained error window telling something about SWT exception (something not implemented in blah,blah.Introspection or such). Then my Eclipse just has not been starting. Just after info about “vp plugin loaded” my Eclipse dies silently. No log found. ---

Just after my last post, I launched Eclipse without an environment variable AWT\_TOOLKIT=MToolkit, which I need to start Netbeans 6beta in my glassy compiz-fussion 3D GUI ennvironment 😉 So, my Eclipse started and managed to select New Class Diagram from menu. But then I’ve obtained two error windows (see new-class-diagram.png). After I quit Eclipse and started once again I’ve obtained such a nice log in class diagram editor window (see right-after-start.png).
