Spring Tool Suite says it could not create BootDashView (or any Spring view)


When I go to the "Boot Dashboard" (Update: actually I see similar messages on each Spring view) view I see the message

Could not create the view: org.springframework.ide.eclipse.boot.dash.views.BootDashView

There is an icon to see the error logs beside it, so I deleted them, reopened STS, and I did not see any error.

Any guidance on how to resolve this or further debug it?


More info

After following Martin's advice and opening the Host OSGi Console and typing ss to get the short status and doing diag <id> on a few different things all I was ever able to get was similar to this,

org.springframework.ide.eclipse.boot.dash [962]
  No resolution report for the bundle.

Martin mentioned looking for INSTALLED, but all I saw were ACTIVE, RESOLVED, STARTING, and <<LAZY>>. I ran diag on at least one bundle of each state, but got nothing any different than above (of course the names and IDs were different).


Solution

  • I was facing the similar issue with Spring Boot Dash view and using -clean option and restart STS worked for me.
