Hi Vijay,

Do you have the error message (and stack) from the error log (its a seperate view)?
Also what version of XDE are you using, and what version of eclipse?

regards,
Gavin

I am new to XDE SDK .so i just try to run helloworld procedure. I created new procedure.xde file .this file by default contain only two elements start and return .I want to add more element in default flow chart like declare ,if condition etc.I try this by using following ways :

1.By dragging element from Palette to procedure flow chart--> I got the exception as mentioned above post.
2.By selecting element in Palette and moving cursor with + sign and left click on procedure chart--> Nothing happen no error no addition of element.
3.By keeping cursor on connection arrow,list of icon of element displayed I select on of them--> Nothing happen no error no addition of element.

I am using XDE SDK.1.0.372 downloaded from Cisco site it contain Eclipse RCP with XDE plugin.

I don't have any idea about where logs are saved for this error.when trying above 3 ways eclipse console panel don't have any error message

Please let me now proper way to add element in chart if any of above is not correct.

Thanks n Regards
Vijay

It sounds like you are trying to do things correctly.  That version of XDE is 5 years old now, perhaps it does not work with the latest eclipse.
This eclipse version seems to match the XDE release date :
http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2.2-200702121330/

I've just tested the bundled version of eclipse delivered from this website : XDE_SDK_1.0.372_-_win32.zip and it works as expected. I can create new XDE step items without any issues. The steps I followed were:
- Unzip the bundle to a new directory
- Run eclipse
- Change to the XDE perspective
- Create an XDE project
- Create an XDE procedure in the XDE project
- Drag/click steps from the pallete onto the XDE procedure

My machine is Windows 7 64bit - Java 1.6.0_22

So the bundle seems fine, perhaps it is an environmental issue at your end.

Hi Gavin,

Issue get resolved .The cause of error was the Step id that was created using user system login name here in my case it was "vijaykumar.saini" this contain dot in name so XDE is considering this as an invalid string,perhaps this is bug in the XDE ,Because windows allow to create such user name but XDE using same windows user name to create STEP ID.

Any way I also check XDE bundle with different user which don't contain dot in username it working fine.

Thanks Gavin for your kind support...
