You must be better at googling than I am ;-) Maybe I'm having a stupid day but I can't figure out for the life of me how to actually install this plug-in in Eclipse. I've spent the last hour searching Eclipse help screens and googling for some insight into how to install WS4E but I keep coming up with fragmentary information that makes a lot of unwarranted assumptions about what I already know. I downloaded WS4E from Sourceforge easily enough and unzipped it into a directory. But that's where I'm stuck. According to a website I found, http://www.venukb.com/2006/08/20/install-eclipse-plugins-the-easy- way/,the normal thing to do is to copy the plugins and features directories from the downloaded directory to their counterparts in Eclipse. The downloaded directory only has a plugins directory but I copied that in my Eclipse plugins directory and restarted Eclipse but I can't see one iota of difference in my Eclipse. I don't see any "Start JWS" option anywhere (although I may simply have failed to look in the right place because they don't tell you where to expect things to change) and my program still crashes on the "uninitialized" error. I tried using the Update Manager approach but I don't see WS4E anywhere. Again, though, they don't specify what update site to search to find it. I've tried http://sourceforge.net and http://webstart.sourceforge.net but I just get a "could not find" error for both. I tried using the "easy" method advocated at the link I cited but I still see nothing that looks like a Java Web Start option anywhere. Any suggestions you or anyone could offer here would be greatly appreciated. I fully expect that installing this plugin would solve my problem with the FileOpenService initialization error; I just can't figure out HOW to install it. -- Novice
