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.......

thomasp667,
I guess you have uncovered a bug. I'll ask the dev team to get this resolved asap. Thank you for bringing this up.

thomasp667,

This is absolutely a bug, we have confirmed it and digging into what is going on and going to get that fixed ASAP.

I met the same problem, and it was quite annoying.
Hope this bug can be fixed asap. Thank you!!

haocheng,
Im sorry you ran into the same issue. We will try to rectify this asap.

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.

Nilesh,
Thank you for posting the workaround. I'll let the dev team who is investigating this issue know about this.

Hi !

I tried the workaround but it didn't work

Any update on the bug status ?

Thank you

c3solutions,
The issue has not been resolved yet. What version of MyEclipse are you working with?

We're using Version: 7.0
Build id: 7.0-20081201

I just wanted to make sure we didn't miss an update or something like that the would resolve the issue.

Thanks !

This fix will be in 7.1, sorry for the delay.

It is fixed now with version 7.1

Thank you very much !

Your welcome.
