The API version for dbdc is 22. We'll make public an IDE update soon to address this dependency. Thanks for your patience.

Any updates on plugin schedule?

We can't move on our development. Are there any alternatives to force ide plugin to be able to create apex classes and sync with current organisation db objects?

Thanks,

Why did the topic set to Solved? The problem is still there... Do you know any workaround?

I guess technically it's not resolved. I have not found one, other than code through the browser which isn't ideal.

Code through browser? I didn't find the link to code at least in browser. Can you help me find it?

Thanks,

You need to first create a sandbox environment from your production org.

 

Go to setup > Search for Sandbox

 

Once that is done and ready to go, login to the sandbox environment and you should fine a new button is now available in the Develop section for Triggers and Classes

I found a workaround:

  1. Create offline project in force IDE
  2. Use ANT migration tool to retrieve all your metadata
  3. Continue development in force IDE
  4. Deploy your progress via ANT migration tool.

Currently I'm on step 3. I hope step 4 will work

Thanks for your help,

Hi Sergei,

 

Let me know, interested to find out how you get on. Are you able to save as you go (to the server) once you get your metadata downloaded?

Sure,

I think we'll try to deploy some progress tomorrow

Database.com is now supported in Eclipse using the Winter 12 Force.com IDE.

 

http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Updating_the_Force.com_IDE

 

Note: After i installed the new updates using the Force.com Start page, i found that I was still getting the error that is the topic of this discussion. So i then clicked the help menu, and 'Check for Updates'. An update for the Force.com IDE was found, i installed, restarted, and then was able to successfully create a Database.com project. All of your Force.com projects will then need to be updated to the Winter 12 version of the API.
