Description Daniel Sokolowski

2011-09-22 01:02:02 EDT

Build Identifier: 20110818-2043

Clean install of Eclipse 4 JavaScript edition. Clean install of 'Data Tools Platform Enablement Extender SDK 1.9.0.v201106031100' and 'Data Tools Platform Extender SDK 1.9.0.v201106031100'

Unable to access the Data Tools perspectives or any other functionality of this plugin. To verify this was related to e4 I have installed DTP on Eclipse 3.7 and found it working/accessible.

Thank you.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Clean Eclipse 4 (20110818-2043).
2. Using the update manager select the Data Tools plugins.
3. Data Tools perspectives are missing.

Where did you unzip Eclipse? What is the name of the zip file?

> Extender SDK 1.9.0.v201106031100'

Which update site did you get this from?

If you check your installation's details through the about dialog, do you see DTP listed there?

I used the eclipse-javascript-juno-M1-win32.zip file and installed from the Indigo site.

I got a 'Database Debug' and 'Database Development' perspective after restarting Eclipse upon completion of the install.

I do not know what is different or what am I doing differently from the numerous tries yesterday but it DOES WORK now.

Please disregard this ticket and thank you for looking into it.

Yes I was actually able to duplicate this again,

On my machine I am mostly logged in under a 'Limited Account' account from which I do my work. If I extract eclipse-javascript-juno-M1-win32.zip to Desktop and install the Database tools it does work, if I extract eclipse to C:\Program Files\ and install Database tools the perspectives ARE NOT available (but it does show the plugins are installed).

Furthermore when one setups eclipse in the C:\Program Files\ an '.eclipse' folder is generated in my home directory - when one installs Eclipse to the Desktop this folder is not created.

I will leave this ticket as resolved as I will just run Eclipse from the desktop location, but feel free to ask for more information and reopen this.
