ABAP_TRIAL - Unable to create Package ABAP AS 7.52 Dev on Virtual Box

create-packgae-issue.pngHi,

I am new to SAP development and have been using the AS ABAP 7.5.2 dev edition on Virtual Box as mentioned in the https://developers.sap.com/trials-downloads.html site. After successful setup, I am trying out the developer tutorials as per the "Start Developing ABAP Repository Objects" tutorial as per https://developers.sap.com/group.abap-dev-repository-objects.html. I was able to successfully setup the project as per "Create an ABAP Project in ABAP Development Tools (ADT)". However when I try to follow the "Create an ABAP Package" tutorial, the create package screen seems to hang in the Create Package screen. Nothing happens after this screen when I click Next. I have tried multiple times to stop / start SAP server, Eclipse ADT client, created new projects etc. but no luck. Please see the screen shot attached. I am using eclipse 2020-09-20 build (JEE version) and the latest version of ADT as of 18th Dec. 2020. Can someone please guide me as to what could be the issue? Much appreciated.

Could you try to create a package via tcode SE21 ?

One of potential issue coudl be that the system is new and there are a lot of code that is compiling and you need to wait.

Hi Oleg,

Thank you for your response. I just tried using SE21 in SAP GUI and I was able to create a package. After that I tried the same again with ADT (of course with a different package name) but ADT is still hanging in the initial screen as per the one I attached before.

Hi Rams,

Use the previous version of Eclipse 2020-06 or at least try re-installing ADT using https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/2020-06 instead of https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/latest. Version 2020-09-20 does not work properly with ABAP 7.52 from my experience.
