Can you show the exact errors you are getting?

surgyOP•5w ago

now its not even giving anerror

dan1st•5w ago

also what happens when uninstalling the plugin in question?

surgyOP•5w ago

its just not openeing marketplace i cant get to the marketplace to uninstall the plugin

dan1st•5w ago

Check the error log Ctrl+3, "Error Log"

surgyOP•5w ago

where is the error log ?

surgyOP•5w ago

surgyOP•5w ago

so i wanted to apt purge eclipse and then just reinstall

dan1st•5w ago

you can only purge what you installed with apt

surgyOP•5w ago

but i think i installed from a manually downloaded deb or something right

dan1st•5w ago

reinstalling would be possible as well but you could probably just uninstall the plugin (you don't need the marketplace client for that) There are no deb files for Eclipse AFAIK only an installer and tar.gz files

surgyOP•5w ago

ok... it was an installation scriptfrom their website.

dan1st•5w ago

so uninstalling is just deleting the directory Can you double-click the "Cannot Open Eclipse Marketplace" element there`?

dan1st•5w ago

but for uninstalling plugins, you can just go to Help > About Eclipse

dan1st•5w ago

then "Installation Details", selecting the plugin to uninstall and clicking "Uninstall"

surgyOP•5w ago

dan1st•5w ago

Can you copy the whole text here in Discord?

surgyOP•5w ago

yeah i think i want to find the directory and delete it and then reinstall with apt

dan1st•5w ago

I think you should be able to select it with Ctrl+A and then copy it with Ctrl+C

surgyOP•5w ago

message.txt

dan1st•5w ago

apt isn't the thing you'd use for installing Eclipse

surgyOP•5w ago

yeah snap i wish ubuntu would make up its mind lol snap or apt and chose one

dan1st•5w ago

In the installation details, go to "Configuration" there it shows you the directory Did you use snap for installing Eclipse? I normally don't do it that way with Eclipse

surgyOP•5w ago

dan1st•5w ago

Did you use the Eclipse installer

surgyOP•5w ago

i installed using the eclipse installer when i go to help/about/configuration eclipse crashes ok it started this time looks like i need to delete ~/.p2 and ~/eclipse

surgyOP•5w ago

dan1st•5w ago

I think I know what you did wrong/why the thing happened

surgyOP•5w ago

dan1st•5w ago

Ok that tells me that you used the Eclipse installer and a part of your installation is in ~/.p2 and another in ~/eclipse it seems like the issue you had with the marketplace might be related to https://github.com/eclipse-orbit/orbit-simrel/issues/40

surgyOP•5w ago

all i did was installed darkest dark theme and e(fx)java i think the darkest theme fucked it all

dan1st•5w ago

you can just uninstall it if you want to

surgyOP•5w ago

but then it worked for like 15 hours.... how i dont see it in "installed software"

dan1st•5w ago

I already told you - In the installation details, the first tab is installed software What is shown there?

surgyOP•5w ago

dan1st•5w ago

that one

dan1st•5w ago

actually all 3 of the devstyle ones

surgyOP•5w ago

oh had to expand ok but ok but why am i getting all of these errors now? before that issue came out of no where this code would compile and eclipse marketplace still doesnt work

dan1st•5w ago

If you show me the exact errors, I might be able to tell you why

surgyOP•5w ago

i think, for somereason, e(fx)java isnt loading because it's acting like it cant find javafx

dan1st•5w ago

and also the module-info.java if present and the build path

surgyOP•5w ago

dan1st•5w ago

. Do you have a module-info.java?

surgyOP•5w ago

dan1st•5w ago

Can you show me the build path? Right click on the project > build path > configure build path that should have a libraries tab Also I would normally use Maven for JavaFX - then you don't even need the JavaFX SDK

surgyOP•5w ago

right click on project?

dan1st•5w ago

yes

surgyOP•5w ago

in the menubar?

dan1st•5w ago

right click on that thing

dan1st•5w ago

also there it shows a path - does that path exist?

surgyOP•5w ago

right click snakery >>> build path >> "no options available" and i tried maven for hours and in three different servers and couldnt get past an error ehich is when i heard about e(fx)java and found my way to eclipse

surgyOP•5w ago

yes

dan1st•5w ago

hm I think I'll just tell you how to create a proper Maven project with JavaFX and you don't have to deal with these issues

surgyOP•5w ago

maybe i should delete all the eclipse stuff go get some biscuits and gravy and then come back and start fresh with eclipse and maven

dan1st•5w ago

deleting Eclipse and reinstalling it wouldn't affect the project

surgyOP•5w ago

right now im a lot bit frustrated because i keep hitting this same rediculous wall with javafx ill delete the project as well

dan1st•5w ago

File > New > Other > Maven project > Next > Maven Central on the top and javafx-archetype-fxml (make sure you are using the one with org.openjfx on the left) > Next > enter a project name and set the javafx version to 21 > finish

dan1st•5w ago

then it should automatically try to create a JavaFX project- you can view the progress on the bottom right

dan1st•5w ago

I have to go rn

surgyOP•5w ago

no "maven central on the top" ok thnx found maven central in the drop down? if this is the order of operations it is not intuitive thank you for all of your help, im going to delete everything and then go get food and come try again

dan1st•5w ago

can you showw it? not all is necessary - archetypes are essentially templates for Maven projects you could have checked "create simple project" as well and skip the other steps (and add JavaFX by editing the pom.xml) Using e(fx)clipse for JavaFX projects works well but adding more dependencies is a bit annoying and all devs of the project would need to use Eclipse and share the configuration etc and with Maven, you don't even need the JavaFX SDK yes it should be in the top dropdown

surgyOP•5w ago

Taking a little break. And then I'll hit it again from the bottom up 🙂

dan1st•5w ago

after you press next in this dialog without selecting the simple project thing

dan1st•5w ago

when doing all of that, you should get a project similar to that

dan1st•5w ago

alternatively you could create a "simple" Maven project and add something like this to your pom.xml:
