Issues getting the Apex Toolkit for Eclipse working

I have tried getting the new Apex Toolkit for Eclipse setup, but am not having any success.  I was originally trying on an existing Eclipse 3.2 install that I have and was getting an error.  I decided to start clean, so I downloaded the Eclipse 3.2 SDK again today.  I then followed the exact instructions at https://wiki.apexdevnet.com/index.php/Apex_Toolkit_for_Eclipse. 

I am receiving the same error in both of my 3.2 installs.  When I try and create a new Apex Project, I get the following error:

Code:
The selected wizard could not be started.

Reason:
Plugin com.appexchange.toolkit was unable to load class com.appexchange.plugin.wizards.AppExchangeProjectWizard.

 



Any suggestions?

The best thing to do would be to goto the ADN site and follow the directions for installing the plugin.  Although the usage instructions are incomplete as of this writing, the installation instructions are accurate.

I did follow the instructions at the ADN site.  I did that before making this post on the forums.  I have tried uninstalling and starting over twice.  Unless I am making the same mistake over and over again, I don't know what's wrong.

If it helps, the link below will show you a screen shot of my Manage Configuration screen in Eclipse.

Any help you can provide is much appreciated.

Me too facing the same problem

I got a Error Saying

Plug-in com.appexchange.toolkit was unable to load class com.appexchange.plugin.wizards.AppExchangeProjectWizard.

I got it figured out.  You need to have java 1.5.  I had Java 1.4.2.  When I went to add/remove programs on my PC, I had the following listed:
  1. J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
  2. J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 9
  3. Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_10
  4. Java 2 SDK, SE v1.4.2_10
I uninstalled all of them and then reinstalled Java runtime from http://www.java.com/en/

After I did that, I no longer got the error and all was working fine.  The docs should probably be updated.  I think I could do it since it's a wiki, but I am not too clear on the protocol for updating the site.

I updated the instructions on the wiki to ensure people check their Java version before getting started.

Thank you !

I followed the ADN site instructions also placed Java Runtime 1.5 still getting error.  Question is I'm running through a proxy could this be a problem?  Any suggestions would be grateful.

Thanks,

I can't get the toolkit to run either. I reinstalled Eclipse/Java Runtime 1.5, etc.
 
This was a clean install, on a new machine.

What are the symptoms you are seeing?

I also ran into problems. I only can get the Eclipse plugin working if I connect my laptop from home. From my office, I always get an error: for example when opening a .scf:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
    at org.eclipse.core.runtime.Assert.isLegal(Assert.java:62)
    at org.eclipse.core.runtime.Assert.isLegal(Assert.java:46)

    at com.appexchange.plugin.editors.scontroleditor.SControlEditor.createPages(SControlEditor.java:149)

The only difference is that my home connection is not behind a proxy.

A new version of the toolkit has been pushed with proxy support.

I don't have a proxy, so I unfortunately was not able to test it.  Get the new version and give it a go.  If it doesn't work, post a similar stack trace for me and I'll try to work it out.

Hi!

Tried the new version (8.0.1010 right?) this morning. I got the same problem, but the stack seems to be different. Here it is:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1

    at com.appexchange.plugin.wrappers.ConnectionException.<init>(ConnectionException.java:28)

Happy bug hunting!

Forgot an other hint: I captured IP traffic generated when I open the scf file. My laptop tries to reach @IP 204.10
234.33 directly.

Ok, so I was able to test this on a proxy.  There is some wierdness depending on the proxy.  When I allowed entry of proxy username and password the SOAP stack gave me grief about the base64 encoded header that contains the auth.

On the proxy that I was using, if I didn't entry the username and password for the proxy server, the proxy server caused a login box to show and I was able to authenticate to it.

If the proxy does not require authentication, it works fine.

Give it a try and let me know.

Hi,

 I still cant't get it working.

I have problems with the properties editor of the Apex projet when I try to add proxy informations.
Here is the stack trace:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2007-02-05 14:22:38.512

I tried to manually edit .settings\com.appexchange.toolkit.prefs in my apex projet, but still no luck.
Here is the file content:
