Problems encountered while setting project description.

[timdonovanuk]

Using the AEM project wizard, on the "select or create a server screen", I get the error "Problems encountered while setting project description."

This is using the latest Eclipse, latest plugin, and latest archtype. If I had more info to provide I would..

@timdonovanuk - do you have any related entries in the Eclipse error log?

[timdonovanuk]

Yep - apologies I was looking in the Problems tab not the Error log tab:

Ah, I see. So it seems that you do not have the Javascript Development Tools installed. Is that correct?

[timdonovanuk]

Indeed, I was trying it on Eclipse Mars Java dev edition - I tried installing Web Tools Platform (includes JDT) but that just caused further issues (from http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/mars/).

I've previously tried this plugin with Luna (EE edition) but I get "The server does not support version 2.4 of the J2EE Web module specification." which is why I was testing it on another version of Eclipse.

[rombert]

Ah, the 2.4 version thing is something we solved but not yet released ( #67 ).

IIRC you should be able to workaround by setting the JRE version to 1.7 in your content project by setting the source/target properties for the maven-compiler-plugin to 1.7.

Closing this as there hasn't been activity for over a year.
