[SourceJammer-devel] RE: SJ Eclipse plugin

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Well, I've tried quite a few things, but couldn't get the plugin to work =
on my installation.

The InvocationException is generated at:
AbstractFileAction.java
-- spawnProcess()
---- ps.busyCursorWhile(process)

From what I read, busyCursorWhile(process) is supposed to simly call the =
run method of a=20
IRunnableWithProgress process.
In this case, the processes are in the package =
org.sourcejammer.extension.sjeclipse.process.
Every process must be passed a IProgressMonitor which I don't see =
instantiated anywhere.
So, I'm guessing the InvocationException has something to do with that.

Instead of using spawnProcess to execute the runnables, I tried to use =
IRunnableContext and
ProgressMonitorDialog but I am still getting the same Exception.

Any ideas???
Because of this exception, none of the SourceJammer plugin operations =
work.

Is anyone else facing this problem??
If not, then I think I can check out my platform instead of messing with =
the plugin sourcecode.

Thanks,
Karan

Hi agaih.

I couldn't be happier to have you fix and or enhance (dare I hope?) the =
SJ Eclipse plugin. I don't
know what would cause InvocationTargetException. A full stacktrace would =
be helpful, if it would
be possible to get that somehow.

I have not tested the plugin under 3.1.1, but I'm running it under 3.1.0 =
with no problems. Would
they really change the plugin API in a x.x.1 release is such a way as to =
break plugins? Maybe.

I don't really have time right now to dig into this, but I'd love to =
have you see if you can fix
it. Any other enhancements you'd like to make would be welcome. I'd be =
happy to give you access to
the archive and to set you up as an admin on the sjextensions project if =
you want to do releases.

I looked at the code and I don't think that the "/" relative path should =
be a problem after all.
It would be nice if I had set up the plugin to use log4j or something to =
make debugging easier.
Live and learn.

One thing you could try is to run the plugin project in Ecliplse in =
debug mode to see if that
helps you narrow down the source of the problem.

Keep me posted and let me know how I can help.
