Today I did a clean install of Myeclipse 7.0.
I created a new clean workspace.
Then I try to access preference page Java>Editor>Templates and an error was thrown::
"The currently displayed page contains invalid values"
Then I restarted MyEclipse and then the preference page works (magic, magic).

Then I checked out a couple of Java-Maven projects.
After this, the preference page can´t be accessed again with the same error as above.
I restarted MyEclipse again, but this time without success.

I deleted all projects, restarted Eclipse and then everything works fine.......

I was experiencing this bug with 7.0 milestone 2. When I uninstalled MyEclipse, the bug went away. Installed 7.0 GA and I'm experiencing the bug again.

My workaround is to use a clean copy of Eclipse (that doesn't have MyEclipse installed) with its own workspace, and edit my custom templates in that copy. Eclipse stores custom templates in this file (along with a lot of other configuration):

$ECLIPSE_WORKSPACE/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs

So what I do is I copy the line that starts with "org.eclipse.jdt.ui.text.custom_templates=" followed by XML from the clean copy to the one with MyEclipse installed. And restart Eclipse to pick up the change.

If you try this workaround make sure to make a backup of this file before you edit it, just in case something goes wrong.
