Re: [linuxtools-dev] Why does RPM Specfile Editor is not enabled ?

["Popescu, Lidia" <lidia.popescu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

I figured out that latest linuxtools requires java 11.

My problem is fixed. I found appropriate versions

       7.7.0 for eclipse v.4.15.0

       6.2.1 for eclipse oxigen 3a

but why does I've been allowed to install latest

org.eclipse.linuxtools.rpm_8.2.0.202103091924.jar

and it tells that installation is successful. It's confusing. A less advanced user may not figure this out.

Thank you

Kind Regards

Lidia

Subject: Why does RPM Specfile Editor is not enabled ?

 

Hello forks,

I am trying to find out why does the RPM Specfile Editor is not visible after 'org.eclipse.linuxtools.rpm.ui.editor ' plugin installation on a linux system, on both eclipse Eclipse Oxygen.3a (v.4.7.3a) & Eclipse v.4.15.0 (2020-03-05).

I successfully works on windows system, eclipse 2021-03.

But I don't think that eclipse version or OS matters as soon as it passed installation process.

I compared Configuration's tab and

1.  When it does not work, the option "open with SpeciFile Editor" is not visible - It shows as [Installed] org.eclipse.linuxtools.rpm.ui.editor (4.0.0.202103091924) "RPM Specfile Editor" [Installed] 
2. When it works, it has [Active] state
   

   org.eclipse.linuxtools.rpm.ui.editor (4.0.0.202103091924) "RPM Specfile Editor" [Active] 

   
   So, what could prevent a plugin from being Active? What are the dependencies, why it does not work? I am trying to debug the plugin to find out, but maybe you could give me a quicker replay?
   

Thank you in advance

Kind Regards
