Create Spring Project wizard is disabled

[seanxue]

Hi, all

I installed Spring IDE 1.3.6 in Eclipse 3.2.1 through updatesites. Afterward, I tried to create a new Spring project by selecting New->Projects->Spring->Spring Project. Then:

1. I clicked on the Next button in the "New Project" window but nothing happened.

2. I clicked on the same Next button again, a "New Spring Project" window appeared, with blank space following the "Spring Project\n Create a new Spring project." title, and the "Next>", "Finish" buttons disabled.

3. I double clicked on the disabled "Finish" button, Now the blank space was filled with "Project name:", "Use default location" elements, but the "Spring Settings" box is empty, and the "Next>", "Finish" buttons were still disabled.

4. Then I was stuck, regardless how I changed or clicked on any of the GUI fields.

Help please!!!

Sean:confused:

Please check Eclipse's error log (<Workspace Dir>/.metadata/.log) for any exceptions related to this issue.

Meanwhile create a plain Java project and add the Spring project nature via the project's context menu as described here.

Ok, I re-installed JDK1.6.0; Eclipse; and Spring IDE. It seems to work now.

Thanks

I'm glad that Spring IDE is working for you now.

BTW. Spring IDE wasn't tested with JDK 1.6 yet.

I have been using Java 1.6 on Windows 2000 Pro with the latet Eclipse and Spring plug-in and so far none of my problems have been related to anything except my learning curve.

1.6 seems to work with every Java application that I have run it (from Tomcat to Compendium) with without any complaints or problems(unlike 1.4->1.5). It is my default Java for everything now.

It does seem to be faster than 1.5.
