Opening an Excel document inside Eclipse M4 produces a new but empty editor. No context menu, special toolbars or menu items are displayed. The editor does display an Excel icon in its tab. Word documents fail to open, see below. Office 2002 Pro is installed. org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Failed to find requested interface on OLE Object. result = -2147467262 at org.eclipse.swt.ole.win32.OLE.error(OLE.java:312) at org.eclipse.swt.ole.win32.OleClientSite.addObjectReferences (OleClientSite.java:406) at org.eclipse.swt.ole.win32.OleClientSite.<init>(OleClientSite.java:195) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.editorsupport.win32.OleEditor.createClientSite (OleEditor.java:227) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.editorsupport.win32.OleEditor.createPartControl (OleEditor.java:215) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.PartPane$4.run(PartPane.java:141) at org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.InternalPlatform.run (InternalPlatform.java:1018) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform.run(Platform.java:461) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.PartPane.createChildControl(PartPane.java:137) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.PartPane.createControl(PartPane.java:186) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorWorkbook.createPage(EditorWorkbook.java:404) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorWorkbook.add(EditorWorkbook.java:123) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorArea.addEditor(EditorArea.java:55) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorPresentation.openEditor (EditorPresentation.java:351) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorManager$2.run(EditorManager.java:585) at org.eclipse.swt.custom.BusyIndicator.showWhile(BusyIndicator.java:84) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorManager.createEditorTab(EditorManager.java:574) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorManager.openEditorFromInput (EditorManager.java:341) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorManager.openEditor(EditorManager.java:424) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.busyOpenEditor(WorkbenchPage.java:2081) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.access$6(WorkbenchPage.java:2029) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage$9.run(WorkbenchPage.java:2016) at org.eclipse.swt.custom.BusyIndicator.showWhile(BusyIndicator.java:84) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.openEditor(WorkbenchPage.java:2011) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.openEditor(WorkbenchPage.java:1896) at org.eclipse.ui.actions.OpenWithMenu$3.handleEvent(OpenWithMenu.java:267) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:82) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:847) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:2173) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:1863) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runEventLoop(Workbench.java:2347) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.run(Workbench.java:2330) at org.eclipse.core.internal.boot.InternalBootLoader.run (InternalBootLoader.java:858) at org.eclipse.core.boot.BootLoader.run(BootLoader.java:461) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke (DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:299) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:765) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:599)
I just tested opening PowerPoint and Visio documents inside Eclipse - both work. So it's only Word and Excel who are not working.
