Eclipse doesn't have "Project facets" after install of JBoss WTP adapter

I'm trying to use project facets in Eclipse but the "project facets" section under "project -> properties" is gone. I noticed this when switching to Eclipse Juno from Eclipse Indigo. I thought this was related to Juno, so I switched back to Indigo, only to find the "project facets" were gone there too. I tried both versions as a fresh install and with a clean workspace.

Searching the web for this issue only came up with "go to 'project -> properties -> project facets'", but this simply isn't possible.

UPDATE:

I managed to break it down. The facet related stuff disappears after I installed the "JBossAS Tools" package from the JBoss update site (http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/juno/).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install Eclipse Juno (4.2.0)
  2. Install project facets from http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno
    1. Under "Modeling": "EMF Facet SDK (Incubation)"
    2. Under "Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development": "Eclipse Faceted Project Framework"
  3. After a restart see that Eclipse has possibility to create a faceted project (File -> New -> Other -> Faceted Project)
  4. Install "JBossAS Tools" from http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/juno/
  5. Restart, check for faceted things, aaand it's gone.
Solution

  • I installed the "JBossAS Tools" package from the nightly built update site. This didn't cause problems regarding project facets.
