| [news.eclipse.technology.epf] Re: Can't Select... or Add... references |
|
There's no doubt now that I created circular
references and that caused my problems. I suspect I created bidirectional
references between my plugins, or in a loop.
Whatever the cause, the symptoms were catastrophic:
The UI was offering only partial lists of available plugins for reference, and
although it showed at least some of the culprits, the errant check boxes were
filled with a hash rather than a check and I couldn't uncheck them.
My solution? I copied all the content of the base
plugin I created into a new one, broke all the links I could manually and
deleted it.
Then I had missing reference errors that I chased
down to one remaining one that I couldn't resolve, and swallowed hard and went
in to the xmi file and deleted the problem line.
Then I reconnected all my children plugins to the
base (from the base).
Needless to say, I won't intentionally create any
more circular references, but I'd sure be happier if I knew the tool was looking
out for me be checking for them when I select new plugin
references.
