Eclipse 's wizard won't select Apex control to create new S-Control

I'm on page 44 in the force.com Cookbook, at number 2. Inside the Eclipse package explorer I'd selected New > Other > Wizard Selection > Apex > Apex Control to create a new s-control, but upon clicking "Next" (to specify the name and label for the s-control) nothing happens.

How do I address this problem? I'd arleady restarted Eclipse (3.2.2).

Thanks.

if i get stuck at that point, i just go into the app, create the scontrol , then go back into eclipse and reload all scontrols and it shows up.

I just did it & it worked fine. Here's what was going on:

First, I'm on Eclipse 3.3.0 (I know, 3.2.2 is what's recommended).

Next, I have a project open, and expanded (clicking on + left of it, shows Apex Classes, etc.).

I do happen to have a number of S-Controls, so I don't know that it works if you're starting with that folder empty.

I have highlighted the project name.

Then, I right clicked on white space within the Package Explorer window, chose New, Other, Apex, S-Control - and it took me into the dialog box to choose type, name, etc. I then followed thru & it did create the S-Control - it opened an editor with html head tag naming the script elements.

Hey AR.

Which version of the toolkit are you using?

Can you send me the toolkit's log containing the new S-Control action?  You can find the log here: $workspace/.metadata/.plugins/com.appexchange.toolkit/salesforce-toolkit.log.

Hi cwall_sfdc,

I am not sure what the version of the Apex toolkit I have. It was "installed" per the instructions on page 16, number 5,  in the Cookbook, when finding and installing new features, after I launched my new copy of Eclipse.This was just about a week ago. I  could not find Apex toolkit anywhere in my local files, even though it's listed in the Wizard Selection window.

As for the toolkit's log, I couldn't find this either. In the $workspace/.metadata/.plugins/ directory, there are only files that began with "org.eclipse..." Nothing with "Apex" in the file name.

I had already attempted to Find and Install twice, thinking perhaps the first attempt was incomplete. Any ideas?

thanks!

Hi MyGodItsCold,

I tried your suggestion with one s-control captured from the first book Creating On-Demand Applications, the Candidtate Map, which I had saved it as a .html file. But, I couldn't get it to appear in the left window. It opens only in the middle window and I don't see any option to save it as a project.

This is where I got stuck. When I click on Apex Control  (there is no "S-Control," but I presume it was renamed in the version I am using) and then Next, nothing happens.

thanks for replying!

Hi Ron,

I'm still trying to figure how how to "reload all scontrols" in Eclipse. I have one S-Control I could load, but not sure how to do it in Eclipse.

I'm such a dork...

thanks!
