Re: [ve-dev] VE for Eclipse version higher than 3.2

Hi,

From my point of view there is more than one bug to fix. Very often it occurse, that VE cannot render a GUI and give for all components the message "a previous error prevent this component from showing". My experience is, that if a GUI is more complex, than this failure happens more often. Some time one can fix that with complete recompile the entire project or a complete restart of eclipse can help and some times I have no chance to fix that.

In every cases VE setup runs until "75%" and stops there (for about 10s) and than VE give up and shows only placeholders for GUI components.

This behaviour can be observed under all operation systems (Windows XP, Ubuntu, Mac OS X).

Not though often occurse (pehapse one time per week), that VE and Eclipse crashs without any message and Eclipse are complete removed from memory (no tasks are running anymore).

I admire the hard work (because the huge complexity) on VE but at the moment VE is fare away from beeing ready for productive use.

I think the last mentioned error is originated from the usage of remote VMs. I am not shure if that design is ready to survive and all other GUI builders don't use that design (Jigloo not, Mantissa not, JBuilder not).

Wy VE developers has increased the complexity.

I'm working on it. A new build with the fix will come out very soon.

Subject: [ve-dev] VE for Eclipse version higher than 3.2
Hello,
Is there any runnable version from VE for Eclipse higher than 3.2 ?
In my project we have to decide using VE (because there is a lot of work done with VE) or switching to NetBeans (with a lot of work to convert GUIs).
VE is very unstable yet and we cannot use any other eclipse version than 3.2 because VE does not support higher versions.
I have not expiriences with building eclipse plug-ins though unfortunatly Iam unable to fix something in VE or build it from CVS.
Kind regards
Jan
