I am trying to install subversive for eclipse helios on windows 7. I am seeing it as installed in the installation details, but it is not showing up as a perspective and also in windows/preferences/team. Can anyone help me with this.
I fixed that issue by granting my user writing access to the eclipse installation directory (default in "Program Files" is read access).
#squig - +1
changing the directory permissions (I placed it under c:\program files\eclipse in Windows 7) caused the subversive plugin to work, after spending endless hours on trying to figure out the issue.
The lame part from Eclipse side (or Subversive side, dunno) is that no error message was shown, it appeared as if the software was installed properly. Shame.
I had exactly the same problem. But in my case the problem could not be solved be granting write access to the eclipse programm directory.
The reason was that I tried to use two versions (Mars and Neon.2) of eclipse in parallel. When I tried to install both programms into one directory in "C:\Programm Files (x86)\Eclipse" it was not possible to install plugins etc. to the newer version. Therefore I uninstalled the newer version and reinstalled it under "C:\Programm Files (x86)\Eclipse-Neon".
After this everything is fine. Even without write permissions to the programm directory.

I'm trying to install Eclipse Neon on a 64 bit Windows 7 computer. I download the file "eclipse-inst-win64.exe" and run as administrator. Immediately I get the following error:
The Eclipse Installer executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library.
Note the "Installer" keyword. When searching on Google and StackOverflow, I find solutions only for when receiving this error launching Eclipse itself after it is installed. The solutions that worked for people in those situations usually involve editing the "eclipse.ini" file and removing absolute paths or references to uninstalled plugins. However, Eclipse has never been installed on this computer, therefore an "eclipse.ini" file does not exist and the installer does not appear to create one in any obvious place before throwing this error. There does not appear to be any "companion shared library" downloads on the Eclipse website. Any ideas on what could be going on?
Download and install the JDK and then try to install Eclipse again.
According to http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Installation:
Eclipse 4.6 (Neon) was released on June 22, 2016. See Neon schedule.
Consider using the Installer. Please see 5 Steps to Install Eclipse.
A Java 8 JRE/JDK is required to run all Neon packages based on
Eclipse 4.6, including the Installer. The reasoning behind
requiring Java 8 are discussed here.
I found another reason for this error message. I got it when I tried to install Eclipse from the compressed installer. I extracted the installer into a folder and ran it from there. It then installed.
Try to extracted all the installer files before you run the installer.
I had recently downloaded the Eclipse Platform SR2 Kepler edition from the eclipse foundation website. However after unpacking the tarball I tried to open it by simply double clicking on the "eclipse" file. But it does not start. What could be the problem ?
Please help.
There are many possible reasons:
missing libraries or version mismatch
64/32bit mismatch
bad permissions
lack of disk space
no memory
left directories from a previous installation
For first, try to run it in a terminal and watch the output.
There are also a pre-defined packages from ubuntu. The main package is called just 'eclipse'. Normally, you can assume they work out of the box.
I recently installed Netbeans 7.2 beta and it worked fine. Then I installed Netbeans 7.2 final release on top of beta and during the installation, Netbeans 7.1 and Netbeans 7.12 were there. Now when I launch Netbeans, it does not go beyond "loading modules" stage. Simply the Netbeans screen disappear few seconds after the launch. Then I did the following.
Uninstalled all the Netbeans versions and re-installed Netbeans 7.2
Deleted AppData/Netbeans folder
Deleted User/.nbi folder
Searched the registry and deleted Netbeans related entries. (But only one entry was found)
Deleted Netbeans Folder in Program Files folder.
Uninstalled and Re-installed in a separate drive.
Uninstalled and Re-installed under another user account.
None of the above worked, the only thing I did not try was to re-install the Windows XP operating system.
It there any option to try before re-installing the operating system?
I was having the same problem .... with netbeans 7.2 ,go to user/appdata/roaming/7.2/modules/ and delete all the jar files except docs,ext,locale folders ... and start the ide again... basically the problem betides when u update the ide after update when u start the ide it stuck to the loading module phase.
First of all, you need to check proper version of JDK is installed.
Netbeans 7.2 requires JDK 1.7, not 1.8.
You can check {Netbeans Install Path}/etc/netbeans.conf. There find netbeans_jdkhome and its value. Make sure you install JDK1.7 and this line netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25" for example.
If not, change the value to proper installation path.
That's some stability issue with NetBeans 7.2
Just Kill and Restart the IDE and it should be fine.
Make sure that right JDK directory chosen in the installation wizard if you not sure you can change it from
C:\Program Files\NetBeans {netbeans version}\etc
you will see a file which is
netbeans.conf
edit it(I am using Notepad++ for that)
At the bottom of the file, you will see a line
netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Java\{jdk directory you want}"
make sure it is valid JDK and it is JDK, not JRE
I had the same problem, make sure you have the required JDK version configured during the installation process.
First tried everything to no avail, finally I had to uninstall NetBeans 7, then install NetBeans 8, which also aligned with my JDK 8. This resolved the issue for me. Hope this helps others.
Ah, finally this worked with me on version 11.3, delete this folder, then run the program again
C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans
here my main username is Dell, yours can be different ofcourse
I found out in my Windows installation of Apache Netbeans 12.4, the file 'tctracker.properties' in 'C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\12.4\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\core\windows' was filled with null values. I fixed the issue with letting netbeans generate a new file by moving this '12.4' directory to somewhere else on the disk, starting Netbeans, letting it generate a new 'tctracker.properties'-file, stop it, replace the corrupt file in with this newly generated file and put the '12.4' directory back in place.
I recently updated my ports on my FreeBSD 9.0 release machine and I think eclipse was upgraded due to a port upstream forced Eclipse to be rebuilt. Now Pydev is gone. I tried uninstalling then reinstalling Eclipse, then installing Pydev using pydev.org/updates inside Eclipse. It appears to install ok but I can't create a Pydev project or use the Pydev view. I tried removing my ~/.eclipse folder to force the creation of a new one, and reinstalling Eclipse and Pydev to no avail. What am I doing wrong? I'm running Eclipse Indigo version 3.7.1 build id: R3_7_1
This question was most similar to mine, but the solution didn't work for me. I also tried pointing my install site as: http://update-production-pydev.s3.amazonaws.com/pydev/updates/site.xml per another question on StackOverflow, to no avail.
After some more testing I finally got the newest FreeBSD port to work. I had to launch and install the plugins as root. It didn't work another time I ran it but, this great troubleshooting document helped out. I methodically went through each step one by one, and the logs indicated there was an error on my /usr/local/lib file it was trying to unzip. My user doesn't have write access to that directory but root does. I don't know why it didn't work the last time I ran it as root, perhaps I didn't install the plug-in as root. It works now, so I'm happy. Thanks Fabio, for your input.
I'm not sure how FreeBSD packages things, so, maybe an easy way out would be getting Eclipse from Eclipse.org and installing PyDev on that fresh install (or if you're also doing web stuff, I'd suggest grabbing Aptana Studio 3, which comes with PyDev preinstalled, so, you don't have to worry about configuring it).

even though there was no error when installing Subclipse in Eclipse. I won't see the SVN perspective at all?
I have tried with "Eclipse Classic 3.5.1" and with "Eclipse for PHP Developers".
After downloading and unzipping the packages I used Eclipse's "Install Software" mechanism to install Subclipse 1.6.x. I followed the steps described here: http://www3.math.tu-berlin.de/jreality/mediawiki/index.php/Subclipse_installation_in_eclipse_galileo.
But after Eclipse re-starts I don't get any SVN Repository perspective? I have tried to un-install/re-install all the software components many times now. Finally after 3 hours of trying I am giving up. Does anyone have any hint what I am missing?
Thanks!
Peter
I had the same problem. I use Windows 7 64 bits OS. I clean read-only flag of eclipse folder in C:\Program Files (x86) and give full access right to all users on my PC. I reinstalled it from update site and it works.
This is a known bug with subclipse: http://subclipse.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=992
EDIT For anyone keeping track of this, it looks like Eclipse Helios SR1 may have fixed the issue. I haven't tested it myself yet, but by the sounds of the discussion at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=322929 it should now be working.
I just had this same issue with Ubuntu. It turned out to be permissions. Once I gave write permissions to everywhere in my eclipse installation and then reinstalled subclipse, its views and so forth appeared, just like magic.
I don't know what you are looking for. But after installing the Subclipse plugin, you should have a new entry in the File | New | Project dialog. Something along the lines of "Checkout project from SVN"
Then when you hit continue, you can enter your SVN repository details, check the branch you are interested in, etc. After checking out a project, you can right click on it and go to the "Team" submenu to get the features provided by Subclipse like check in code, diff, merge, etc.
I ran into the exact same problem too. I installed both Subclipse and GWT/GAE plugins and couldn't find any evidence of them after installation.
I'm on Windows 7 and had installed Eclipse 3.5 SR2 into C:\Program Files (x86)\eclipse-3.5. I also put my workspace in C:\Program Files (x86)\eclipse-3.5\workspace. When I was checking things I noticed there was a lock icon on the C:\Program Files (x86)\eclipse-3.5\workspace.
I reinstalled Eclipse to C:\dev\eclipse and the workspace to C:\dev\eclipse\workspace. After that the installation of the plugins went without a hitch and I could see the SVN Repository Exploring perspective (no idea why some of the other posters claim this perspective doesn't exist). I suspect it was some sort of permissions problem on the directories.
Another way to check and see if the whole thing was installed correctly is to go to the SVN Repositories view. Go to Window -> Show View -> Other, and then search for SVN. If you see a bunch of SVN views like "Repositories," Subclipse is installed.
I had this problem due to some kind of incompatibility between Subclipse and Android ADT plugins. One answer suggested yoxos which gives you all your eclipse plugins from one central repository.
Had the same problem. I work on Linux, and when I installed eclipse in /usr/local/eclipse, Subclipse did not show up. The solution was to install Eclipse locally, e.g. in /home/user/eclipse. Now Subclipse (and other plugins too) worked!
Edit: guess it could be the same on Windows.
I think this is due to some incompatibilities between the packages of subclipse and the gwt 2.x plugin and android... as this started happen to me after I upgrade to v 2.0 of gwt back in the day.
The same issue repeats both on Mac and Windows... and it seems no fix has been released.
Now the only way I've found to move on with my work is to remove subclipse and install the latest subversive plugin instead.
http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/
I know this ain't subclipse but it works very similar and no issues with gwt nor android plugins.
it worked for me and so I hope it works for you in the mean time.
cheers,
G.
