Yes, the highlights should show.

- Do you see anything in the 'error log' view?
- Did the editor window open by itself when you click on a frame in the stack or did you have to open it manually?

The editor window did not open by itself. There is a generic "Internal Error" in the Error log, with the following stack trace (see below).

Also, Ctrl-Shift-T (Open Type) only works when I have a source code window already open. If the source window is empty (i.e., no open source files) then pressing Ctrl-Shift-T does nothing. Not sure if that's related.

rtexas,
As for the Ctrl+Shift+T issue, that is not a Chronon issue. That is how it works in the first place. Ctrl+Shift+T is a shortcut for an editor window, so you gotta have one open for it to work.

You are not seeing the highlights/instruction pointer due to this exception. Normally the editor window would open itself with everything highlighted. Opening it manually wont help.

To diagnose this issue:
- What version of eclipse are you running?
- Is your code in the 'default' package?
- Can you send the details of Help> About Eclipse> Installation Details> Configuration?

Prashant,

About the Open Type issue: good to know, thanks. By the way, my name is Ryan, so you don't have to keep calling me rtexas. :)

- Eclipse Version: Helios Service Release 2 (which I believe is 3.6.2)
- No, the code is not in the default package.
- I will send the contents of the Eclipse Configuration to your support email address (), rather than posting them in this thread.

Thanks,
ryan

hmm... can you open the 'breadcrumb bar', toggled using 'alt+shift+b', and paste a screenshot with the editor window open with that.
I need to see if the source code is organized in some weird way that is causing all these issues.
Are you using a maven build?

No, we use Ant. Screenshot is attached.

Ryan,
Please go to project>Project>Java Compiler.
Are all the following options checked for the project?

Prashant, yes, all those values are checked.

Note: though I am running Eclipse with 1.6, this project is currently being compiled in Eclipse with 1.5 compliance,. However, the particular recording I'm trying to read was made with a 1.6 JRE. (I know, it's confusing).

Prashant,

Another thing I wanted to mention as a possibility. My project structure does not begin at the workspace root (as is customary). It looks more like this:

C:\path\to\workspace\dir1\dir2\dir3\projectA
C:\path\to\workspace\dir1\dir2\dir3\projectB
C:\path\to\workspace\dir1\dir2\projectC

Eclipse generally handles this fine, but I don't know if this would cause problems for the Chronon plugin.

Can you paste a screenshot of your package explorer, with some of the projects expanded down to the src folder?

Sure, but I'm not sure that will show what you're looking for. The package explorer still shows the src folder at the root level of the project. But the project itself is not at the root of the workspace. See:



But if you look at the path for, say, the "rts" project, it looks like this (sorry, had to do a little redaction):



My Eclipse workspace is c:\dev\java\workspace. So you can see the "rts" project is nest a few folders inside that.

Wonderful news. Thanks, Prashant.
