Does not do anything when installed

[xanni]

I installed YEdit Feature 1.0.20.201509041456-RELEASE on Eclipse Mars running on Oracle JRE 1.8.0_60-b27 but unlike previous installations it does not do anything - YAML files can only be edited with the existing editors and there is no syntax highlighting.

How do you install it?

Through Eclipse Marketplace or some other way?

By adding the update site http://datacoalition.org/yedit which is also
what I did on Eclipse Luna (where it works correctly).

Thanks,

Ok, so the update sites still works for Luna, but not in Mars?

I will test it and see if can see what is wrong, but I probably won't have time this week.

Could you see if installing using the Eclipse Marketplace Client works and if you can use that as a work around.

I installed the Marketplace Client, but that doesn't appear on the menu
either. I used the minimal Eclipse installer, so maybe there are
undeclared dependencies on modules that are not included in the minimal
Eclipse package. I've reinstalled Eclipse using the PHP package (even
though I don't develop in PHP) then reinstalled Yedit and it works fine now.

Thanks,

Very good point. I will look into.

I had the same issue. I am using YEdit with the IBM RTC Client 4.0.2, using the IBM 1.6 JDK. In moving to Java 7 (and I see no reason for doing so), you have (correctly) marked the plugin as requiring a Java-1.7 execution environment, which when run under 1.6, it will never be activated. When the tooling comes bundled (ie any IBM project, RTC, RAD, RSA etc), it is not always (ever?) possible to replace the underlying JDK. Eclipse wise, it appears to be working fine with 3.6. 👍

So, in my case, I reverted to d74fe8b, and I have to replace two calls to System.lineSeparator() with System.getProperty("line.separator"), I recompiled it (thanks maven/tyco) and installed that one, and I am now seeing what I expected.

This raises another point, could you please maintain previous versions of the released plugins via the update site? It would have made life far easier for me, in that I could have chosen a previous release without having rebuild everything.

Yes, do what I said in the comment.
Clone the repo, revert back to the rev I specified, patch it up, rebuild and then install it. That is what I did.

YEdit installs fine for me, but doesn't do any syntax highlighting. I'm using Neon and tried by installing both from the Eclipse Marketplace and update site http://dadacoalition.org/yedit. In preferences I set the YEdit plugin as the default for .yml files. I'm sure it's is something trivial I'm not doing correctly. Thoughts?

[joeg3]

Figured out my problem, hope this helps someone else.. When right-clicking on a .yml file in Eclipse, and selecting "Open With", I noticed the editor associated with that file was "Text Editor". Changing it to "YEdit YAML Editor" activated syntax highlighting.

Another possible cause for the described problem is simply a broken configuration of Eclipse. This is not the workspace, but that folder which contains all settings, installed plugins and such and which can be defined using the following shell args:

-configuration "%APPDATA%\Eclipse\Perl\configuration"

Depending on your deployment of Eclipse, that special folder and its sibling folders in the same parent dir should be removed and automatically recreated with default values on the next start of Eclipse.

Take care of your workspace, which is not to be deleted!
