Eclipse RDS might be a problem with Ganymede
July 24th, 2008
I just installed the latest version of Eclipse (Ganymede) and I like the new changes to the plugin update feature. Well, I went and grabbed the RDS plugin from Adobe and loaded those up along with CFEclipse and everything was working great. Then I decided to connect to a server and noticed something odd. I was able to connect fine, but I was not able to expand any of the folders. In order to navigate you have to click on the directory and click the “Jump into” button. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so is there a fix for it?
Eclipse hangs when connecting to RDS
i can confirm the issue. not aware of a fix as of yet. i’ve still got 3.3 running, so when i need to RDS, i load up europa
I guess I will have to go grab Europa again. At least I know I don’t have something installed that is messing my install up. Thanks Charlie.
I ran into this as well. The only fix is to click refresh in the context menu to get a list of your servers. Then select a database and click refresh to get a list of tables and then click on a table and click refresh to see the columns.
Its a pain but it works.
I click “Go Back” and now everything shows as normal.
Yea, but you can’t expand the folder. You have to click the arrows to get into the folder.
Thanks for posting! That did it!
Hi there,
I just installed Ganymede (former I used Europe) and the RDS Plugin from Adobe. You can browse through the file- and data view NOT using the plus and minus signs. Use double click on the nodes names to browse and it will work fine (it does for me). It isn’t the best but it works better as using the “got into” context function yet.
Greetings

Yea, I know. It just gets annoying over time. There is also another bug as well. In Europa, if you hit the Home button you would go to the first character of the line. That is gone now, which is a little different. I haven’t found a setting for that yet.
I caved in and downgraded back to Eclipse 3.3.2. It feels good to be able to navigate via RDS Dataview once again. I noticed, however, that someone on the cfeclipse mailing list said Eclipse 3.3.2 doesn’t let you drag-and-drop table columns over to your code. I didn’t know that was a feature that worked beforehand to be quite honest. Does that mean I should downgrade yet again to Eclipse 3.3?
