Working with ABAP in Eclipse using Mac OS X

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to work with ABAP in Eclipse under Mac OS X 10.7. I'm already using SAPGUI Java. After setting up eclipse and installing all required packages, eclipse seems to have a problem with the connection setting I defined for SAP Logon.

When trying to setup a new ABAP Project in eclipse, I get the following error:

I know that the files containing the connection settings for the different SAP Systems has a different notation on Mac and Windows, but even using the Windows file (saplogon.ini) results in the same error.

Is anyone running a combination of ABAP in Eclipse + Mac OSX + SAPGUI Java and can give me hints on how to solve this error? Or is this combination currently not supported? Using SAPGUI and ABAP in Eclipse on my virtual machine works fine.

Thanks for your help

Dear Christoph,

I'm running AiE on my Mac together with the JavaGUI without problems. What JavaGUI version do you have installed? I'm using 7.20rev9.

Hi Gregor,

I was running 7.20 rev 8, updated to 7.30. But still the error persists.

Best regards,

Christoph

Can you post the content of the connection.txt file?

I would think that it could be a problem with the @ sign. Can you try to replace:

MoBi@Bitech

with something like:

<SYSID> <Description>

Removing the @ does not effect the error. Would it be possible that you post your connection settings?

I fixed the problem.

Somehow the connections.txt was corrupted. I deleted the file and added all connections manually in the SAPLogon Manager. After that, I was abel to connect.

Thanks for your help,

Directories:

• Cache

• SAPGUILandscape.xml
• sapgui.registry
• applications
• settings
• externalCommands
• settings_backup_11_06_15
• globs
• messageserver.txt
• trustClassification

When i sync with eclipse i get an error message as :

Could not initialize class com.sap.platin.embed.EmbeddedGuiFactory$InstanceSingleton

Thanks in advance for help.
