Portal development with NW developer studio & JDI

[Former Member]

I'm unable to create any development component of type "Enterprise Portal" - 'Next' button stays disabled. For all other types, Next button is enabled and I can proceed.

Any ideas?

Create a shortcut to your NW executable file:

"C:\<eclipsepath>\SapNWDevStudio.exe" -vm "C:\<javapath>\bin\java.exe" -consolelog -debug

By doing so you can see eventual exceptions that occur in a console window.

I know that some of the newer versions of NW Studio based on Eclipse 3.0 have some problems if you do not create the DC under "LocalDevelopment". If this is the case i.e. you get an exception when clicking the button "Next", you need to change your IDE to an older more stable version.

Maybe a bug in the version you use?

In my DevStudio installation (2.0.9) the 'Next' button works for the types 'Portal App Module' and 'Portal App Standalone'. The type 'Portal content' has the 'Next' button disabled (since it has no more dialogs), but the 'Finish' button is enabled.
