Spring IDE 1.2.3 installed, but no menu to add nature

I mentioned just a second ago that maybe it was myeclipse. Maybe, but when I get the exception above, its when I open the config using the standard eclipse xml editor (from WST?) not the myeclipse XML editor.

There's no "standard eclipse xml editor" built into plain Eclipse. You have to install an XML editor separately, e.g. Web Tools (aka WST) or XmlBuddy. Myeclipse ships with a version of WST (maybe not 0.7 as required for Spring IDE 1.2.3).

I installed a fresh eclipse 3.1, then a fresh WPT, and then a fresh Spring IDE. And this time Spring IDE seems to be fully functional. Now I will start adding the rest of my plugins and see who the culprit is!

thanks again!

Well, it didn't take long. The very first plugin I tried was MyEclipse. And sure enough, no more Spring IDE. Lots of errors logged, mainly centered around complaints that GEF 3.1 was already installed.

Then when I try to disable myeclipse I cannot, instead getting an error message indicating that uninstalling would invalidate the current configuration (my eclipse would try also to uninstall EMF which is required by WTP plugins.)

I like myeclipse, but they always seem to screw up my configuration. I'm going to just use WTP for a bit and see how that goes.
