Hi Alexej,

You have to use Eclipse Helios to install the Activiti Designer.
This is also mentioned in the userguide.
Let me know if you run into problems with Eclipse Helios.

Best regards,

Hi Alexj,

Did you uncheck the "contact all update sites…" according to this post http://forums.activiti.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=413? Because that could cause the problem you've encountered now.
BTW, are you installing on a Helios Eclipse classic package?

Best regards,

Tijs

Hi Tijs,

Hi Alexej,

Strange. I will give it a try this evening also.
Did you start with a fresh Helios classic package? If not please start with a fresh one.
Which platform are you running? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

Best regards,

Tijs

Hi Tijs,

I tried it with a fresh eclipse classic and I get the same error.

I use a 32-bit system.

Best regards and thank you

Hello,

I had some problems installing the eclipse plugin as well. But I think I found a solution.

After selecting the update site for the designer I see the following tree:
Activiti BPMN Designer
– Activiti Eclipse BPMN 2.0 Designer

When I disable the checkbox "Group items by category", the following flat structure appears:

After selecting all entries and installing them, the plugin worked.

Hi Alexej,

I've tested it with a few people on different computers today and it works like a breeze, but that certainly doesn't help you of course.
You should not uncheck the group category checkbox (it should be checked).
The error you've posted seems like there was a problem with the internet connection or the download of the plugin jars.
So just to be sure, you are using a freshly downloaded Eclipse Helios classic (Eclipse version 3.6.1)? Are you using Java SDK 6?
Could you try again with a freshly installed Eclipse Helios Classic and uncheck the contact all update sites option?
If you are still running into issues could you mail me the full stacktrace? You can use tijs@apache.org.

Best regards,

Tijs

Hi Alexej,

after being tipped off by Tijs that there might be a problem, I have tested the installation too but for me it all works fine. The steps I performed were:

- downloaded eclipse classic 3.6.1 for Linux 32-bit (I'm on Ubuntu)
- setup proxy settings (because I'm behind one, this might differ for you)
- added update site for Activiti Designer. Unchecked the "Contact all update sites" checkbox to prevent Eclipse from contacting the default Eclipse download sites which tend to be very slow
- checked the designer feature and installed
- restarted Eclipse when prompted

This worked without problems, so for the moment I can't reproduce your problem.

Tested this on 3 different systems, 2 of them Ubuntu 10.04 and one Ubuntu 9.04

Hey all,

the problem was solved.
I've just installed the Eclipse Designer from home and not from work.

At work we have no proxy actually, but may be it was a Firewall or so….

Thanks all. The tool is very cool.

Good job!
