#1110 install/update issue
after updating my install to pydev 1.5.6.2010033101 (on eclipse 3.5.M20090917-0800) I get
No editor descriptor for id org.python.pydev.editor.PythonEditor
saw on a another blog someone else saying same and that only cure is blow away old install and start over...
FWIW The Eclipse install was installed originally as part of Python (x,y) (somehow I think related?)
Sort of surprisingly,, I successfully updated my non xy instance of eclipse.. which has many more Eclipse plug-ins and all seems fine.... I also manually inspected my windows environment python path and did not see any obvious issues,,, and I cannot figure out how to "really wipe" the xy eclipse
Yah, I get this too, on linux, Ubuntu 8.04, Eclipse 3.5.1, build id: M20090917-0800, PyDev 1.5.6.2010033101
I tried downgrading to PyDev :
1.5.5.2010030420
1.5.4.2010011921
1.5.3.1260479439
and it's still broken, maybe the uninstall feature in eclipse doesn't work well? I have another PC with 1.5.3.1260479439 installed and it works well and it's probably the version I had before upgrading.
I got fed up because even after deleting all pydev stuff it was broken, so I deleted eclipse, .metadata, .pydevproject, downloaded the latest version of eclipse (3.5.2.M20100211-1343) and installe PyDev 1.5.5.2010030420 (didn't dare install the latest), re-created my pydev project and it works! Now that I think about it it's probably my deleting the .metadata and .pydevprojet that made it work.
