PDK - Eclipse - New Portal Project Error

[Former Member]

Hi

I am trying to use PDK in Eclipse.

When I try to create a new Portal Application Project I got following error after click finish:

Invalid Project Description.

Reason: An Error has ocurred while trying to create the project structure.

An error has ocurred while trying to create the project classpath

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi

I had exactly the same problem and found that it was apparently caused by having spaces in the project directory path, which started c:\documents and settings\... I replaced this with c:\DOCUME~1\... and it worked.

My fault. My stupid fault.

I did not read properly the label for directory (Project <b>root</b> directory). I was typing a new directory, as if it was a project directory....stupid mistake. And the error message is misguiding.

Thanks everyone

Getting the same error.

What did you enter for the Project root directory, when you were having the problem.

What did you change to getrid of the error

Thanks

Check if you are creating the new project inside another project folder.

Hi Ronaldo,

please provide some additional info: PDK version? Eclipse version? If you are using Eclipse 3.x, consider using 2.1.3.

If this is not the case or does not solve your problem, please provide the steps you did to deploy PDK add-ons within Eclipse (in detail, i.e. which libs to where etc) as well as possible additional log entries.

Best regards

Hi Detlev

Actually I am using NWDS 2.0.7, which came with EP 6 SP 6 sneak preview.

PDK version: 60.2.2

I imported PDK epa in the server.

Following configuration documentation, I could not be able to install PDK plugin, since

<i>http://fhnt01:50000/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.pdk.util.developmenttools/eclipse/SAPPDKEclipsePlugins.zip</i>

seems to be missing in my installation?

As PDK seemed to be already installed (I found views, configuration parameters, related with portal) I supposed it was already installed! Wrong?

Regards.

Hi Ronaldo,

so you are using NWDS, not Eclipse. NWDS is based on Eclipse, but some features are switched off and many are added.

The Portal Wizards are part of NWDS, so there is nothing to import.

So the question stays what you are filling in the forms of the wizard. Please provide this info, maybe somebody else can help you further. The only NWDS version I have is 2.0.4, and Portal Development I'm still doing with Eclipse/Plugin (for SP2).

Best regards

New Portal Project Wizard only request two parameters for me:

Project name: Test3

Project root folder: C:\dados\portal\test3

Next button is disabled. When I click FINISH I got error:

Invalid Project description...

It seems that Project description is missing!? But it does not have another form to fill project description???

Hi Ronaldo,

sounds like an error. If nobody else has an idea in here, you maybe should open an OSS message.

Best regards

Hi Ronaldo,

Maybe this is because of the sneak preview. I guess SAP will not give support on this, but I can tell you I don't have a problem with NWDS 209 (208 also worked fine).

Hi all,

I'm using NWDS 209 Patch1 and I get the same error. No way to create a Portal Application Project.

Hi all,

in my case I have to say it's a feature and not a bug.

There was an old build.xml eclipse file in the containing folder and therefore a potential project overlapping.

So look for overlapping projects or old project files.

[nol_hendrikx]

That reminds me of how to install NWDS. I always first uninstall the old software, then install the new one. Takes a couple of hours, but fortunately I don't have problems...

Regards,

Noel
