Hi, I have been successfully running Eclipse (20020416) in Information Center mode for the last few weeks on my Web server. When I upgraded to the latest 2.0 stable build (F1 - 20020521), my Information Center would not work, and standalone help also stopped working. I followed the updated installation instructions at: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/platform-help- home/infocenter.html When I try to access my new F1 Eclipse help system (http://netquestion.hursley.ibm.com:8080/help) the following error is displayed in my IE window: There was an error in your action: javax.servlet.ServletException: org.eclipse.core.boot.BootLoader I am running Tomcat 3.2 and have modified the server.xml file in the conf directory of Tomcat to point to the correct plugin directory. Here's what the context entry in my server.xml file looks like: <Context path="/help" docBase="D:\eclipsef1\plugins\org.eclipse.help.webapp_2.0.0" > </Context> Do you have any ideas as to why my information center, and standalone help has stopped working as a result of upgrading to F1? Why are version numbers included in the directory names? This is messy and I'm sure has caused the problems I am experiencing. The version number is generally stored in plugin.xml. Why does it need to be in two places? Many thanks, Steve WebSphere MQ Information Architect IBM United Kingdom Laboratories Hursley Park Winchester UK
Steve, we're in the process of testing the F1 builds and haven't got to the infocenter scenario. I think the problem could also be caused by changes done in the update manager (we need to run with the -noupdate flag and thought we did, but need to make sure it actually works). I am marking it as a P1 item.
You were right: the boot loader plugin has a version number and it could not be found. The short term workaround is to rename the org.eclipse.core.boot_2.0.0 to org.eclipse.core.boot (no version).
Fixed.
