All, Using JBoss 4.2.1GA, Eclipse 3.3, and the JBoss Eclipse IDE plugin 1.6.0.GA, I have tried to follow the tutorial example, making a Fibo calculating session bean. I have XDoclet 1.2.3 and have pointed Eclipse to it in the Window->Preferences->XDoclet config screen. But no matter what I do (including re-installing various ways) when I get to the XDoclet-related steps (chap 5), I get runtime errors and the XDoclet config page in the properties dialog is missing most of it's data entry components. A dialog says "The currently displayed page contains invalid values." The log attached below shows several exceptions that occurred. Something is broken and I am stuck since XDoclet is central to getting the code to run. Plz advise and thanx in advance, /Mark !SESSION 2007-07-22 14:54:30.156 ----------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=I20070625-1500 java.version=1.5.0_12 java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
