Eclipse IDE - Metadata Components
I've just installed the Eclipse IDE with the Force.com plugin on a Mac and it's not behaving the way it did in Windows. On my Windows machine I had two Force.com projects, one for my development sandbox and one for my production org. I had selected all of the same metadata components in both projects and would use WinDiff to review all of the differences between the two organizations. Now, on my Mac, a large number of the metadata objects aren't available to add to my production project.
Does anyone have any ideas why this might be?
Thanks,
Allen
The components that I can select in the dev sandbox project that I can't select in the production project are:
email
homepagecomponents
homepagelayouts
layouts
letterhead
objects - standard
profiles
reports
reporttypes
scontrols
staticresources
workflows
There should be no difference. I use the IDE on a Mac all the time. Is there anything in the log? (Help > Show Force.com IDE Log)

Many messages in the error log. It looks like the first is:
Unable to load document: /Users/.../packageCache.xml (No such file or directory)
Then for each of several different objects:
Unable to get component for id 'CustomLabel': Unable to get bean for id 'CustomLabel'(Open log file for full message and/or stacktrace)
Any log messages with "ERROR" at the beginning? You can ignore most WARN-level messages. (We probably need to make the log output a bit less chatty.)
Thanks,
Jon
No, no errors. The messages I posted are about all that're there except a few warnings that are obviously informational.
I even deleted and recreated the project and the result was the same.
Hmm, I'm not sure what to tell you, especially since it works correctly on Windows and on Mac/Sandbox.
Can you open a support case on this issue?
What version of Eclipse are you using? The Force.com IDE currently does not support Eclipse 3.4 (though that's coming in the Summer '09 release). The latest currently-supported version is Eclipse 3.3.2.
Are you using the version 15.0.1.2009 of the force.com IDE?
I just set up the same version of Eclipse (3.3.2) on a MAC and a PC and had the same problem. But users with 15.0.0.2009x don't seem to have this issue.
Is there a way to reinstall with 15.0.1.2009x?
I think that the problem might be with 15.0.1.2009 not eclipse or that you are on a MAC.
We're looking into the issue.
As a workaround, you could manually edit package.xml in your project and refresh from server to get the components you want in the project.
Can everyone who is experiencing this issue confirm what kind of Salesforce organization you are using?
SFHack mentioned a dev sandbox (that worked) and a production organization (that didn't).
We have been able to reproduce this behavior in a Developer Edition organization that has a local namespace declared (but you cannot declare a local namespace in a production or sandbox org) and we are in the process of implementing and testing a fix.
But we need to know if you're seeing this problem with any other kinds of organizations than a Developer Edition organization with a local namespace.
Thanks,
Jon
Trevor, can you open a support case too? That will let me find your organizations in the system.

Jon - I am having the same problem with both sandbox and productin
Thanks for help with this!
Hi there. Any update on the status of this fix? It's becoming an issue for me, so getting this resolved would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
We have just released version 15.0.2 of the Force.com IDE, containing the fix for the Choose Metadata Components dialog issue. Please try it out and confirm that this resolves your problem.

Jon, I'm still seeing some weird metatdata issues with v15 of the Force.com IDE.
For instance, I created a new project and selected all of the metadata for an org, but some of the custom objects were completely empty of any definitions within them (custom fields, search layouts, etc.). This kind of scared me, so i deleted the project and started over, and the second time around the object had all of the field definitions and everything else that it was supposed to.
I created another project today, and then I did a "Synchronize with Server" from the Force.com submenu, and the Synchronze dialog returned a bunch of Standard objects and profiles with no metadata from the server. Custom fields exist in those objects (and were downloaded when the project was first created), so essentially it is trying to wipe out metadata in my project that should be there.
Any insight on why these issues are occuring?
